Used Ford models: Ford Kuga

Ford's European division is facing a transformation, so it decided to take a look at the brand's used models senzor nivel presiune ulei standard pret.

Used Ford models: Ford Kuga

Ford is an American icon, but in Germany it is seen as a traditional local brand with headquarters in Cologne and Saarland. The brand's core competencies over the years have been: fair prices and a number of rather conservatively designed models. After a "restart" program, the brand's model range will be seriously thinned.

The used car market will continue to be well represented, however: in the small car segment, the Ka and Ka+ are available. Over the years, the Fiesta has grown into a very mature small car. The Golf is now being competed with by the Focus. As a large, comfortable and affordable old-school long-distance car, the Mondeo stands out.

Vans are also a specialty of the brand. Interesting are the Fiesta-based B-Max, the Focus-derived C-Max, as well as the Mondeo-based S-Max and Galaxy. The Kuga is a preferred model in the compact SUV segment.

The Ecosport and Edge are more of a niche model. The Puma and Mustang Mach E mark Ford's new direction. Add the legendary Mustang as a true Muscle Car and the GT is an exotic competitor to the Italian mid-engined sports cars. Of course, Ford also offers the rustic Ranger pickup truck and the XL-SUV Explorer XLT.

Common oil leak

Technically closely related to the Focus, the second generation Ford Kuga, produced from late 2012 to 2019, featured a fairly stiff suspension for an SUV. Front-wheel drive was standard, 4x4 was reserved for the larger engines. Euro 6 engines have been standard since late 2014, with the 2-liter TDCi with 150 hp fitting perfectly into the concept.

With comfortable seats, ample space and good suspension, the Kuga received a high score in the long-term test of over 80,000 kilometers. The light from the standard halogen headlights is weak. At the end of 2016, there was a large-scale facelift. In 2019, the completely updated Kuga 3 appeared on the Ford C2 platform.

In addition to the proven petrol and diesel variants, a Plug-in hybrid is now available for the first time, which according to WLTP has a purely electric range of up to 50 kilometers.
