Ford Kuga Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2012–2016) — Second Generation
The second-generation Ford Kuga is a compact SUV that blends practicality with car-like handling. Offered exclusively as a five-door, it provides a range of gasoline and diesel powertrains paired with manual, automatic, or dual-clutch transmissions.
The Ford Kuga engine range centers on flexible gasoline and diesel units, each paired with a suitable transmission and front-wheel drive. For example, a 2.5 gasoline with a conventional automatic suits relaxed driving, while a 2.0 diesel with a Powershift dual-clutch robotic gearbox offers efficient, smooth shifts. A 1.6 gasoline with a manual is a straightforward, engaging base choice.
Ford Kuga trim levels add convenience and style on top of the technical foundation. The 1.5 AT with all-wheel drive, for instance, is available in Trend and Titanium configurations. Trend focuses on everyday essentials, while Titanium brings more premium touches such as upgraded materials, larger wheels, and additional technology, letting buyers tailor the SUV to their priorities.
