Nicki Says

“A mid-sized SUV plug-in that actually manages most of its potential 40-mile e-range. Five seats, a decent boot, and the Kuga actually handles really nicely. It's a sweet, do-it-all car, and a points winner for Ford.”

Nicola Says

“The Kuga drives so much better than most PHEVs, and it's cheaper and more efficient than a lot of rivals. The infotainment is a bit 'old hat', but for this sort of all-round ability the Kuga is still a winner.”

The Kuga PHEV costs a chunk more than the petrol versions but you’ll save a fortune in fuel and tax.

Pricing

The Kuga PHEV is well priced next to its closest rivals, especially given the standard equipment. You can get some great finance deals with low interest and monthly repayments, too. It’s worth remembering the Kuga is only two-wheel-drive, where most rivals are four-wheel drive, but even so this is a very tempting proposition for a roomy and efficient family SUV with such decent electric running. 

Running costs

If you use the PHEV as intended and actually plug it in, the fuel savings will be substantial, especially since the Kuga seems to be able to get close to its claimed electric range and is very decent on fuel economy when the battery has been run down. We managed around 55mpg on a varied run, having started off with the battery full depleted and no full electric mode available. By comparison, the same run in a Hyundai Tucson PHEV returned closer to 40mpg. So even on those journeys where you can't plug in and have to rely on the petrol engine, the Ford is more economical than most plug-in hybrid alternatives. 

Company car tax will be cheap, too, as the electric range and CO2 emissions are low on the Ford, so Benefit in Kind tax repayments are also kept right down. 

A three year, 60,000 mile warranty is standard on the Kuga, and you get one year's roadside assistance for free. That's a bit disappointing next to the longer warranties offered by rivals including Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot and Toyota. 

Insurance

The Ford Kuga PHEV falls into insurance Group 21, which makes it one of the cheaper family SUVs to insure. Even so, insurance will vary greatly depending on your licence details and where you live, so always get a personalised insurance quote before committing.

Servicing costs

The Kuga needs servicing every year or 12,000 miles, but it will also warn when it needs a service so you don't need to worry about calendar reminders - the car will do that for you. A major service at a Ford dealership will cost around £300.
