The Ford Kuga 1.5 EcoBoost ST-Line Edition brings together sharp styling, strong everyday usability, and a genuinely engaging drive — without straying into complicated or over-the-top territory. Under the bonnet, the 1.5 EcoBoost petrol engine delivers smooth, usable performance that suits both town driving and motorway miles. It feels responsive when you need it, while selectable drive modes and Ford’s power-assisted steering help tailor the experience depending on conditions. The ride sits on sports suspension, giving it a more controlled, slightly firmer feel than standard models, which suits the ST-Line character. Visually, this Edition model leans heavily into its sporty identity. You get the ST-Line body styling kit with unique bumpers, dark mesh grille, rear diffuser, painted skid plates, red brake calipers, twin exhausts, and 19” ST-Line design cues. It’s an SUV, but it doesn’t look or feel soft — it has a more focused, athletic presence on the road. Inside, the cabin continues that theme with a flat-bottom leather steering wheel with red stitching, dark headlining, alloy pedals, sports seats, and partial Sensico leather with cloth inserts. It feels driver-oriented without sacrificing comfort. Tech-wise, Ford SYNC 3 sits at the centre with an 8” touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, AppLink, FordPass Connect, and emergency assistance. The 12.3” digital driver display adds a modern, high-spec feel behind the wheel, keeping key information clear and customisable. Comfort and practicality are well covered. You’ve got dual-zone climate control, a heated windscreen, heated folding mirrors with puddle lights, rear sliding seats, a hands-free powered tailgate, and plenty of everyday usability features like rear charging points, multiple USBs, and a well-shaped boot space. On the road, the Kuga feels safe and confident. Lane keeping aid, pre-collision assist with autonomous emergency braking, rear view camera, parking sensors front and rear, rear occupant alert, and adaptive driver assistance systems all work in the background to reduce stress in traffic and tight spaces. The B&O premium audio system with 10 speakers and subwoofer rounds things off with a genuinely premium in-car experience.
