Ford Kuga SUV Blue

The new Kuga offers excellent value for money no matter which version you choose, which is unusual. The petrol versions are attractively priced compared with many competitors, while the plug-in hybrid undercuts many of its plug-in rivals. The monthly finance prices are attractive for a mid-sized SUV, no matter which version you go for. And don’t forget that if you go for the plug-in hybrid and you’re a business user, you’ll benefit hugely from the Benefit In Kind (or BIK) rules for electrified cars, which tax based on CO2 emissions and electric-only range. As the Kuga is efficient on both counts, BIK payments will be ultra-low. On top of all that, if you only usually do short runs around town, and are religious about plugging in your Kuga every night to charge, you’ll see running costs of about 3p-4p a mile versus 8p-12p per mile for the petrol or diesel offerings. Really, if running costs are your priority, it’s the plug-in hybrid for you.
