Ford Kuga is here in Nepal

KATHMANDU, Nepal, 9 October 2014–

Powerful, refined and more stylish, both inside and out, Ford Kuga, Ford’s smartest SUV has arrived in Nepal. The new Ford Kuga has excellent storage capacity and boasts the very latest on-demand technology to keep the dream of off-road adventure alive.

An Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system adapts to terrain and conditions in an instant, Ford SYNC reads out text messages and gives hands-free control of music, calls and much more.

Packed full of many more innovative features, the Kuga takes SUV (Smart Utility Vehicle) styling and technology to a whole new level.

 SYNC™

With SYNC™ family and friends can be called just by saying their name, incoming calls can be answered, music played. It can even play specific artist, album or track. All while hands stay safely on the steering wheel and eyes on the road.

Intelligent access* and Push button start/stop

You don’t need to actually have your key in your hand to unlock your Ford Kuga*, or start it, for that matter. As long as you have your key fob with you, your car will unlock*. Once you’re in the driver’s seat, simply put your foot on the brake pedal and press the start button.

Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive

This isn’t just any AWD¹. Every 16 milliseconds the Ford Kuga adjusts the delivery of torque to each wheel, so you receive optimum cornering and traction. 

Torque Vectoring Control

Just drive it. Preferably on a road with the most twists and turns you can find. It’s the only way to truly appreciate how well the Ford Kuga handles. In corners, torque is automatically transferred to the wheels that have the most grip, so the front end hugs the inside of every bend. Under-steering is virtually eliminated.

Adaptable rear storage

There’s a lot of space in the back of the Ford Kuga. There’s even more when you start folding down the 60/40 split rear seats. Fold down one seat or the other and you can fit in those extra pieces of luggage and still get one or two passengers in the back. Fold both seats right down and your 406 litres of space becomes a very sizeable 1,603 litres. Some models also let you lower the boot floor height to give you even more storage space.

Power-operated panorama glass roof

Taking up almost 50% of your roof space, this glass roof¹ brings the outdoors in, at the touch of a button. 

Up to 1.5 tonne towing

Packing-up the family for a holiday? Going camping? Whatever your plans, the Ford Kuga lets you take what you need.

Hill Launch & Descent Assist

Hills are great for a view. But not that great when you want to drive off without rolling into the car behind you. So Hill Launch Assist holds the brake for up to 3 seconds after you take your foot off, giving you time to smoothly accelerate away. Whether you’re facing uphill or down.

EcoBoost^® Petrol engine (with sport mode)

EcoBoost engine technology turns traditional petrol engine thinking on its head. It delivers small engine fuel economy and big engine power in one. So you don’t have to compromise on either, thanks to an advanced combination of twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT), turbocharging and direct fuel injection technologies.
To fully enjoy the engine’s responsiveness, the ‘sport mode’ automatic transmission lets you switch to ‘manual mode’ so you can work the gears – without the clutch.

Active Grille Shutter

Another way we reduce aerodynamic drag is via the Active Grille Shutter. Located behind the grille, the shutter only opens when the engine needs cooling and closes when it doesn’t, so less air travels through the radiator. Less drag means less fuel is required to propel the car forward.

Airbags all-round

The Ford Kuga’s system of next generation airbags surrounds you and your family with extra levels of protection. In the front seat, there are driver and passenger airbags and seat-mounted side airbags. There’s even one for the driver’s knee. Side-curtain airbags provide protection for people in the front and the back. Which is good for your peace of mind.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise Control is great on the open road. But, even here, you can find traffic. So instead of having to turn Cruise Control on and off, the Ford Kuga adapts. If it senses traffic is slowing, it slows. When the traffic clears, it goes back to your pre-set speed.

Blind Spot Information System

It’s a small thing but a very important one. Indicator lights in the side mirrors let you know if there’s a vehicle in your blind spot when changing lanes. So you can see what you can’t see.
