Ford Kug where they collect. Ford Kuga: Changing generations in Europe and escape from Russia
Quick transition to sections
Updated Ford Kug has changed the shape of the hood, a little bit of the headlights and the grille of the radiator. The rear lights changed the shape of the sections that for the fans of the model can be important, but on the technical characteristics of restyling Ford Kuga. This, of course, did not affect. The main changes in the car concern its electronic filling.
Like other KUGA equipped with the EcoBoost family, in this case its volume is 1.5 liters, and the power is 182 hp, as well as automatic transmission. This option is sold in Russia. If the Ford Marks have enemies, then they do not like him lately primarily for the design solution of the cabin. Indeed, the central console is designed so that it literally runs on the driver. But dashboard can't do not like. The steering wheel is gravated, quite comfortable and easily customizable because it is adjustable in two directions, and the instruments can be called sports at all. In Kug, they are the same as the "focus", are recessed in two wells.
Innovations in the salon
On the steering wheel appeared new block Management, thanks to which the new Ford Cuga received adaptive cruise control and the possibility of tracking rigidity. Moreover, the car may even twist a little if the driver is distracted and does not care too closely behind the traffic strip.

On the central console of the new Ford Cuga is now a full-fledged large screen and a modern Sync 3 multimedia system with voice control. Navigation system and cards - in Russian. The touch screen, however, the individual functions can be controlled using the buttons. There was no and without the "remnants of the past" - on the central console, temperature pointers, as before, green. Explicit tribute to tradition, testifying that this is an American car.
Ford Cuga bribes enormous space for rear passengers. Even when shifted back front seat Places in the knees - even debt. Under the feet of the passenger sitting in the center of the second row, there is no tunnel, and therefore, it will be comfortable in the rear sofa. In addition, the rear passengers have an adjustable tilt of the back, armrest and pockets in the door. Curious details: Glasses in the rear doors are lowered to the Niza itself, which is far from all cars. This is another reason why young families choose exactly the new Ford Cuga. If he add a few more fashionable options and lightly refresh the design, then the car will be sold even better.
Dimensions and other sizes of Ford Cuga:
- Length: 4524 mm;
- Width: 2077 mm, with folded mirrors 1838 mm;
- Height: 1689 mm, in the presence of rails on the roof of 1703 mm;
- Wheel base: 2690 mm;
- The diameter of the reversal: 11.1 m;
- Volume fuel tank: 60 liters;
- The volume of the trunk: 484 liters, with lowered rear seats 1653 liters.
Swees and clearance allow
When the crossover is bought, the more all-wheel drive, then his owner wants to believe that his car will be able to go to at least a moderate off-road. For this, Ford Kuga has prerequisites. In particular, the sinks have short, so during a test drive, the machine without any problems moves along the hilly fields.
Curious this is what. On any modern crossover full of various electronic assistants. In particular, the assistant at the descent from the mountain today it seems that it would seem on each crossover. Alas, for some reason I did not turn out on the updated Ford. I had to go down in the old manner, that is, on the brakes. On the dry hill, it is not scary, but when you have to move on slippery slopes, then electronic assistant It would be very pleasant.

Another question to what extent is the new Cuga is suitable for going to the top of one or another slide. The bugs of the first graduation stood haldex couplingBut then Ford has decided to save and engaged in independent development of systems full drive. With the task they coped and their system works well. The only question is: why doesn't have a clutch blocking button so that if necessary, the driver could make a complete drive permanent? By the way, there is no ESP system here and turn off the off-road it helps it very much.
Nevertheless, conquer the slides. The new Ford Cuga is capable of well. Still, his motor is good, but also it works in a pair with a present machine. The car easily comes to the top of any hill. In places where the car is highlighted, the anti-slip system is triggered, the torque turns on the wheels having a grip with the soil, and the car successfully visits upstairs.
About the steering control
The Ford Cuga has always liked motorists, so it is handling. New Ford Cuga retained this dignity and restyling model is still stealing unmatched. This is especially felt on the version where a full-fledged automatic is performed in the role of the gearbox. Its presence is particularly valuable on off-road, but also on asphalt, he demonstrates its advantages. All the necessary box does fast enough, especially in Sport mode.
Video: How Ford Kuga has a full drive system
True, another feature manifests itself in sports mode. Sitting into the car with the usual movement, switch the selector lever down and immediately falls into the Sport mode, and the fuel consumption in this mode is such that it easily goes to the level of 16 liters. However, the sport-mode itself is wonderful. It has an instant response to the pedal pressing, there is also pickup, that's just the emptying of the gas tank occurs with frightening speed. However, it is necessary to shift the lever up, as the mode is changed to the usual "Drive", after which the nature of the car changes significantly. The pickup is no longer such, but the fuel consumption is reduced to 12 liters "on a hundred" run.
Review of Ford Cuga
One of the main chips updated Ford Cuga is a new Multimedia Sync 3. There is no questions to her large screen, but now with her new card it is very difficult to figure out. In particular, if you need from navigation to return to the main menu, then it is quite difficult to do it.
By the way, in the multimedia system there was a shutdown of the Traction Control, which I wanted to do so, but failed during the test drive on off-road. The fact is that in most cars this shutdown is realized very simply: by pressing one-single button. You can't think better. For example, while driving when the driver sees that in front of him. In this case, he presses the desired button and eSP system instantly turns off. Once the dirt remained behind, the driver with the help of the same button activates the system.
On the new Cuga, this functionality is much more complicated. The crossover owner has to be closed in the menu, make five or six movements there before it gets to the desired option and only after that it will be able to disable the stabilization system. What are the difficulties?
Under the hood of the new Cuga
We have Ford Cuga in Russia sold with gasoline engine "ECOCUST", in a capacity of one and a half liters and with a capacity of 180 hp There is both the second motor - this is a well-known, time-tested atmospheric. Its working volume is 2.5 liters, and the power of 150 hp It works in a pair with a machine gun. What is this motor than good? It is, of course, much more reliable, because without a turbine. On the other hand, during the movement, he is very unstoppable and with him a car, as they say, does not go. In case, under the hood there is EcoBoost, the dynamics of the car is completely different.
Two versions of the new Ford Kuga:
- Engine: EcoBoost, working volume 1.5 liters, turbocharging, power 182 hp, torque 240 nm. Drive: either full, or front, gearbox: 6-speed automatic.
- Engine: gasoline atmospheric, working volume 2.5 liters, power 150 hp Drive: Front only.
Configuration and prices
The test drive showed that the updated Ford Cuga has changed in general, it is not strong, which has dual consequences. With one of them, it is good that the car handling is preserved and its permeability. On the other hand, some electronic chips of the updated model will not really like the future owners. Although, of course, the decisive factor, as usual, will be the price. There is hope that the flexible price policy of Ford for the new Couff will continue. By the way, such a question may arise: where are Ford Cuga? In Elabuga, where russian factory Ford.

The automaker known for the whole world, Ford company in all its manufacturing enterprises introduces a unified quality control system and standardization. Chief European Release Plant american cars Located in Saarlouis (Germany). The Americans began to build an enterprise in 1996. It is considered one of the largest machine-building complexes in Germany. About 6.5 thousand workers and more than a thousand robots work at the factory, they all work in three shifts. Shared forces every day at the enterprise collect 1650 cars of different models. Good 80% of all collected cars We are exported to more than eighty countries of the world, including New Zealand and Australia. But, many Russian motorists are interested, where are Fordkuga collect for the Russian Federation?
Build model for Russia
First generation Ford Cuga for russian consumers It was collected in 2012 at the enterprise in Elabuga (Republic of Tatarstan). And in 2013, the second generation went off the conveyor american crossover.
Ford Cuga assembly plant for russian market also produces:
- Fordtransit.
- FordExplorer.
- FordTourNeo.
- Fords-Max
- FordGalaxy
- FORDECOSPORT 2015.
However, it is the model of the CUGA Russian motorists accepted heat, because in addition to the low cost (due to production in the Russian Federation), each potential owner is waiting for a car with a minor fuel consumption and modern, aggressive design.
In the Russian segment, this American crossover is in great demand. Since cars meet all the quality control standards are somewhat from the Tatarstan conveyor. Components and materials that are equipped with Cuga are repeatedly checked before assembly.
But, even in the case of this model, car owners can not avoid small problems. Ford Kuga russian assembly Noticed some faults in electronics:
- there are errors that can drown the motor
- we will have to repair a turbine after overcoming the path of several hundred kilometers
- the crossover has problems with the suspension.
For our consumers, cars Cuga equipped with a 2-liter diesel engine with facilities to choose from - 140 and 163 horse power. Also, there are crossovers with a gasoline 1.6-liter power plant (175 hp). In the basic version, the machine works for a couple with a six-speed mechanical KP. And additional options include a six-speed robotic KP with double clutch. For russian buyer Available, both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive models. Every car has independent suspension and electric steering with variable characteristics. As additional options, the manufacturer is offered:
- a roof with a panoramic view
- leather interior decoration
- automatic braking system
- automatic parking machine
- heated windshield
- navigator and rear view camera
- eighty Touch Screen Multimedia System
- xenon and more.
As part of today's European presentation, Ford rid out eight electrified models on stage, including a fully electric transit, which will become serial only in two years, but the press focus was expected to be riveted to the new Kug. The third generation crossover borrowed a C2 platform from the focus of the focus of the fourth generation and acquired a more passenger posture, since it became 20 mm below, 89 mm is longer and 44 mm wider. Note that our artist still in almost completely guessed the appearance of the crossover. New platform It allowed to reduce the curb weight of the Cuga about 90 kg, while the rigidity of the body for a twist increased by 10%.

Compared to the predecessor, the wheelbase rose from 2690 to 2710 mm, so that in the back seat Kuga became a little more spacious. The volume of the trunk is not yet named, it is only known that it can be increased by 67 liters, if you move the mounted on the sled backseat Maximum forward. From the driver's seat new Kuga. It is almost completely identical to the focus of the fourth generation, and, in essence, the only "chip" of the crossover is a virtual 12.3-inch virtual instrument panel, while the diagonal of the multimedia display on the central console is only 8 inches. In addition to the main shield, a retractable transparent workshop on the visor is proposed, on which operational data is displayed using the projector - for example, speed and navigation tips.

For the new KUGA stated already three hybrid power plants. The PLUG-IN Hybrid consists of a 2.5-liter gasoline "atmospheric" operating on the atkinson cycle, an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 14.4 kWh. The cumulative power of the rechargeable hybrid is 225 hp, the turn of the electric shock is 50 km, and the full charge of the battery from the household outlet takes 4 hours.

The usual hybrid Kuga (without the possibility of charging from the external source) is also arranged, but its specifications Not yet disclosed - such a modification will appear only in 2020. And the simplest soft hybrid is built on the basis of the 150-strong 2.0-liter Ecoblue turbodiesel, to which the auxiliary 48-volt starter generator is simply screwed, which gives additional power during accelerations and allows you to save fuel. The 190th version of the same diesel engine will be put on a CUG without a hybrid imagination, as well as a 120-strong diesel engine 1.5 Ecoblue and gasoline "turbotroix" 1.5 EcoBoost with a capacity of 120 or 150 hp Boxes of the company - 6-speed "mechanics" or 8-speed hydromechanical "automatic", drive - front or complete, with electron-controlled power take-off coupling on the rear axle.
For the US market, where Kuga is sold under the name Escape, diesel engines Not stated, but there will be a unique gasoline top version with a motor 2.0 EcoBoost with a capacity of 253 hp, and the 1.5 ECOBOOST engine produces the maximum 182 hp
The second generation KUGA last year found 153,259 buyers in Europe, 1.2% more than in 2017, but the result of VW Tiguan is almost one hundred thousand more. American Escape in 2018 was separated by a circulation of 272 228 copies (-11.7%), while the leader of the SUV segment - Toyota RAV4 - found 427,168 buyers (+ 4.8%).
In Russia, 2018 will become the last full year of sales of Kuga (13,909 pcs are realized), as well as others passenger cars ford brands. Recall that the "blue oval" and close (as an option - to sell) its plants, only an enterprise will remain in Elabuga, which produces transits, but control over it will turn to the Russian company Sollers.
Today, the Russian press office Ford announced the unprecedented "liquidation" discounts on passenger models: In particular, the focus and CUGU can be taken with a profit of 175 thousand rubles, and the discount on Explorer is as much as 400 thousand rubles. "Oh, where you used to be with such discounts," the consumers are moan. Significantly reduce prices for Focus offered and, where this model is still collected, but the Ford's leadership such a national salvation plan was not interested, since the departure from Russia is just a part announced earlier.
Get acquainted with modernized ford crossover Kuga from the first, pre-seventive party. The car has become courageous, got new engines and improved electronics. Listened to Ford Sollers and to the remarks of experts "driving."
KUGA-2017 - In essence, deep modernization is already famous car. But Fordovtsov for some reason call it a new model.
On the passing plant of Ford Sollers in Elabuga we are welcomed by a thin guy.
My name is Mikhail Melnikov, I am a leading engineer on the launch of new models.
Mikhail will take me a hand, and in the left holds the March issue of the journal "driving", in which Dorentyling Kuga could not defeat competitors in comparative test. Otherwise, I am waiting for the analysis of flights.
I am your longtime reader, has not missed a single number from five years! In school years, even sent a letter to the heading "You wrote to us." A week later, I called Mikhail Kolodochki from the editorial office and disappeared: it turned out that the illustrations sent by me are not suitable for printing. Well, okay, communication with him for me, the boys, was already happiness! So we came - this is your kuga. True, beauty?
I did not find what to answer. Yes, Kuga became more beautiful. But a huge zev of the radiator lattice gave a crossover a fair portion of brutality, male start. Do not beautiful - handsome man!
Bumpers, hood and head optics have been transformed - now the headlights have a bixenon filling and know how to change the configuration of the light beam depending on the conditions of movement and external lighting. Rear lights and trunk doors adjusted, but it can be seen only against the background of the dorestayling car.
I arrived in Elabuga long before the start of sales, so in my hands the car from the first, pre-seventive party. Price, as you understand, I do not know yet. (Prices were made public on December 8. - Approx. Ed.)
Jumping into the salon. Yeah, cost point improvements. A new three-spoke steering wheel with a more comfortable rim. Instead of an ordinary handler, the parking electromechanical brake key appeared - and the place was released for a niche with a neat sliding curtain. The ceiling was prescribed the ERA-GLONASS system module. The chairs that I first liked, thanks to the elongated pillow and the pursed sidewalls on the back became even more convenient.
In the initial modifications, the display, on the contrary, is too simple. Find the golden middle ...
The trip-computer screen in advanced versions is overloaded with information. From her abundance ripples in the eyes.
The sync multimediasystem received new brains. Fords assure that its speed has grown an order of magnitude, and the navigator is trained to put the route taking into account traffic jams.
The interior design did not change fundamentally - it still looks important. On the center console, a button for switching on the heating of the steering wheel appeared. It is high time!
The climate control buttons became larger, so now the likelihood of missed by the right one is minimal.
Steal petals (basic equipment) are one of the main acquisitions of Cures.
Kuga became the first Russian Ford with the ERA-GLONASS module.
-Wellows reduced two degrees temperature at the first stage of seats heating, since there were many complaints about excessive heat. We take a very carefully to constructive criticism and try to respond quickly on it. In his comparative test, you wrote that the machine of this level is obliged to have a steering wheel and at least two USB ports. Get - and write down! Pugs abundance buttons on the center console? Their number reduced almost twice. And also introduced heating zone of parking of janitors, which is included with the heating of side mirrors and rear glass. In our climate - the necessary thing.
Mikhail do not hold. A minute later, I learned that the Fords had a major cause for pride - an improved Syns 3 multimedia system with voice control. Compared to the previous one, it is much more productive, and the interaction with smartphones on Android and IOS platforms is expensive. And instead of a small display on the central console, an eighty-lean touchscreen is shoved. The navigator has learned to lay the route with traffic jams. All as we love.
In the basic multimediasystem, the display is no more than that of the Soviet hours electronics.
In the Trend Plus version, the screen is already solid - with a diagonal of five inches.
There is progress and the rest of the electronics. In particular, the automatic braking system Active City Stop opened at the speeds of up to 50 km / h (earlier - up to 30 km / h). The selfarchist now puts the car not only parallel to the sidelines, but also perpendicularly. In addition, it will help to leave closest parking - for many it is another task. Finally, Cross Traffic Alert system makes departure from parking reverse Sustier - warns the driver with sound and light signals, if it rolls out the nearby car.
In addition, I was introduced the MyKey system, which allows you to program keys at your discretion. You can leave ourselves "unlimited", and the spouse give a "prepared" instance with the speed limit of the speed and volume of the sound of the audio system, the ban on the task of the target to the navigator when moving, the pudded threshold of the minor fuel reserve - for its own use.
After updating, diesel engines disappeared from the gamma of the engines - with tiny demand, it was unprofitable to mess with them. A 2,5-liter gasoline. 150-strong atmospheric is combined solely with the front drive: such machines choose more than half of customers. 
Turbo engine 1.5 came to a change of 1.6-liter. The power is the same, but the cooling of the air coming from the turbine is carried out in it with a liquid, and not an air intercooler. Fuel consumption decreased by 7%.
Former 1.6 L (150 or 182 hp) 1.5 ECOBOOST in the focus of 1.5 ECOBOOST is inflicted. The abbreviations of the cube achieved a decrease in the stroke of the piston. New motors made CUGU a little more economical. They correspond to Euro-6 ecoconormors and adapted to 92th gasoline, while earlier it was required exclusively 95th.
In my disposal - top 182-strong KUGA. It is not so vividly, as you expect, acceleration up to hundreds takes more than ten seconds. Extra "horses" are lost in the finish of the full drive and the six-speed automatic machine 6F35, which entered the basic equipment of the CUGU (versions with mechanics no longer, because it did not find demand). Even in the gym, the box is haunted with Lenza.
I was pleased with the fact that in manual transmission mode, they are now changing with the familiar submissive petals, and not the key to the selector, which was uncomfortable.
The old motor during the acceleration "in the floor" vested that there is urine, and one and a half liter does not break off on a cry. Yes, and road noises are now muted better than the previous one. Is it really enough to use two-layer side front winds?
This is the result of our specialists. The modernized curvature of the Russian assembly received additional noise insulation of the bottom, therefore, acoustic comfort was significantly improved. You also criticized it in that comparative test ...
And Melnikov poked his finger into our text. Nothing, nothing, the constructive criticism did not interfere with anyone - that Kuga was transformed. 
Front armchairs are good: Good profile, wide adjustment ranges, tenacious upholstery. 
I really liked the practical bodies, which make it possible between the seat and the threshold. 
Rear passengers are spacious and convenient. To their services - a back with an adjustable angle of inclination and folding tables. In the rich modifications, the rear passengers are offered a 220-volt socket (left). In simple versions instead of it - a 12-volt power supply (right).
The chassis of the transformations has not been undergone. And it is right. Riding properties have always been strong side Kuga. In sincerity, efforts on the steering wheel, stability on the trajectory and delicacy of the settings of the stabilization system with Kuga can compete except Volkswagen Tiguan.
Sorry, it was not possible to get a 150-strong turboverness! Judging by the technical data, it does not particularly lose the flagship. Therefore, I do not see the reason for the more powerful modification. The motive for her purchase can be except that the equipment is not available for versions with motors. By the way, all the configurations became richer. Thus, in the basic version of Trend (available only with the 2.5 motor) in addition to the electric car, the audio system, air conditioning, heating the side mirrors, seven airbags, ESP and fontamilies appeared LED running lights, steering wheel petals, as well as the MyKey system.
Road clearance 198 mm and the beveled bumper allow you to confidently move around the complex relief. For complete happiness, there is not enough blocking of a multid-wide coupling. 
Ludar system of autotorrow, operating now at speeds up to 50 km / h, installed at the salon mirror.
Adaptive bisenon headlights - option even for the flagship version of Titanium Plus.
The version of Trend Plus (offered with both 150-strong engines) in addition to reling on the roof, double-zone climate control, electrical heating nozzles, windshield and front seats received heating steering and coast of janitors, key parking brake, audio system with a larger color screen and second USB port, as well as 17-inch alloy wheels.
Titanium is available with any of the proposed motors. If first it added a combined finish (leather plus fabric), invincible access system, cruise control, self-impacting salon mirror, Light and rain sensors, a 220-volt socket for rear passengers and tinting rear windows, now the Sync 3 multimedia system has been added to this list.
Shortly before the trip to the Elabuga plant, I met with the European version of Cuga. With the exception of the Russian adaptation package (ERA-GLONASS, additional noise insulation of the bottom and all kinds of heating), all the same - and design, and technique. The mansion is worth the 182-strong KUGA in the consequential execution of SL Line. Its body is decorated with aerodynamic kit, and the radiator grille and lighting equipment instead of chromium are decorated with black gloss. Keyful differences - in the suspension: more rigid springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer transverse stability. In addition, 10 mm reduced ground clearance. All this made CUGU slightly more collected and accurate in turns, but there is no fundamental difference in manageability between it and the standard machine. Now, if in addition to listed innovations, the Fordovtsy increased the capacity at least up to two hundred "horses" ... however, we are what? In Russia, Kuga St Line will not be sold.
The flagship version of Titanium Plus can only be with a 182-strong engine. As before, a leather interior, a driver's seat, a panoramic roof, a mirror with illumination of the near-disconnect space and an electric folding mirror, is included in the list of equipment, the panoramic roof, the illumination mirror, the contactless opening function of the trunk, an enlarged rear spoiler. And from the new - selfarchist, adaptive bisenon headlights, rear view camera, navigator. For this version, only one additional option is offered - a package of electronic assistants.
In complete ammunition, the updated KUGA is perceived by noble and clearer predecessor. During the modernization, it got rid of many shortcomings, and in the next comparative test she will have a chance to recoup.
