Ford Kuga Lease Deals

The Ford Kuga is Ford's mid-size family SUV: five seats, five doors, about 4.60 m long, and a boot of 628 to 645 litres depending on which version you pick. It sits above the smaller crossovers in Ford's UK car range as the practical, do-everything option.

Reviewers keep coming back to the same point about the Kuga: it drives with more precision and more feel through the steering than most family SUVs, which is a rare thing in this class. The trade-off they note just as consistently is an interior that looks smart but doesn't feel as plush as some rivals.

The choice here is simple to describe and worth taking your time over. One body style, three powertrains - petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid - and seven trims, from Titanium up to the BlueCruise Edition.

About the Ford Kuga

The Kuga is a five-seat family SUV, currently in its third generation, which has been on sale in this form since 2024. It carries a three-year, 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty, with the hybrid batteries covered for eight years or 100,000 miles.

It has been part of the British SUV landscape for long enough to have a settled character. Road testers describe it as one of the more enjoyable cars of its type to drive quickly, helped by sharp steering and plenty of grip, while criticising cabin plastics that feel a step behind the newest competition.

Practicality is the other half of the story. Boot space runs from 628 litres on the electrified versions to 645 litres on the petrol, and the best-suited versions will tow a braked trailer of up to 2,100 kg.

Why lease a Ford Kuga?

Because every Kuga arrives with the kit most families actually use, and leasing keeps you in a current car under warranty for the whole term. Built-in navigation, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the range.

So is the safety and assistance equipment: autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beam, automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers. Every version also gets a rear-view camera with front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry and start, climate control, privacy glass, roof rails and power-folding door mirrors.

Servicing falls every 24 months or 18,000 miles, and there's a tyre repair kit rather than a spare wheel - worth knowing before you order if you cover a lot of rural miles. Our team can talk you through adding maintenance to a contract if you'd rather budget for tyres and servicing monthly.

Which Kuga powertrain is right for me?

Three options, and your mileage pattern decides it: petrol for simplicity, hybrid if you never want to plug in, plug-in hybrid if you can charge at home or at work and do a lot of short trips.

Image for illustration purposes only. The actual vehicle and specification may differ.

Petrol

A 1.5-litre turbo three-cylinder with 148 bhp, a six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. It's the only Kuga you change gear in yourself, it returns 42.2 to 44.1 mpg on the official WLTP test, and it has the largest boot in the range at 645 litres.

Hybrid (self-charging)

A 2.5-litre petrol engine with a small 1.1 kWh battery, 177 to 180 bhp, an automatic gearbox and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. You never plug it in - the car charges the battery itself. Official economy is 47.1 to 52.3 mpg, and 0-62 mph takes from 8.3 seconds.

Plug-in hybrid

The quickest Kuga at 239 bhp and 7.3 seconds to 62 mph, using a 14.4 kWh battery you charge from the mains at up to 7 kW - around 3.5 hours for a full charge on the best version. It's automatic and front-wheel drive, and it only makes financial sense if you charge it regularly.

Which Kuga trim should I choose?

Seven trims, and the honest answer is that Titanium already covers the essentials - the rest is about wheels, seats, roofs and cameras.

Image for illustration purposes only. The actual vehicle and specification may differ.

Titanium

The starting point, on 17-inch Sparkle silver alloy wheels with cloth upholstery, a rear-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry with a power start button, rear privacy glass, blind-spot monitoring and LED headlights.

ST-Line

Sportier looking, on 18-inch ST alloys, with part leather upholstery, front sports seats and stiffer sports suspension. Over Titanium it adds a 360-degree camera and a hands-free power tailgate, plus adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and an electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory.

The Active is currently available from £324.73 a month.

BlueCruise Edition

The most thoroughly equipped version, on 19-inch alloys with part leather upholstery and matrix LED headlights fitted as standard.
