Ford Kuga Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers
The Ford Kuga was first introduced in 2008 as the brand’s entry into the growing compact SUV segment. Now in its third generation, it has evolved into one of Ford’s best-selling models in the UK. The latest version, launched in 2019, was the first Kuga to introduce plug-in hybrid technology. A mid-life update in 2024 added sharper styling, new infotainment and upgraded safety features.
Built on the same C2 platform as the Ford Focus, the Kuga sits between the smaller Puma and larger SUVs like the Explorer in Ford’s range. It remains one of the brand’s most popular models in the UK, offering a strong balance of space, performance and efficiency.

Engine & Performance
The Titanium and Active trims are available with a 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine producing 150bhp. Paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, this front-wheel drive option delivers a 0–62mph time of around 9.7 seconds and offers a good balance of performance and efficiency for everyday driving.

This setup uses an automatic transmission and is available with either front- or all-wheel drive. The front-wheel drive model completes 0–62mph in around 9.1 seconds, while returning excellent fuel economy for a petrol SUV.
The range-topping plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version, available on Titanium, ST-Line X and ST-Line X Black Package, combines a 2.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for a combined 243bhp. It offers up to 42 miles of electric range (WLTP) and accelerates from 0–62mph in just over 7 seconds, making it the fastest and most efficient option in the Kuga line-up.

Looking for Something Similar?
Similar models to our Ford Kuga leasing deals include:
- Hyundai Tucson: Offers a similar choice of petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Packed with tech, but with a firmer ride than the Kuga.
- Kia Sportage: Closely related to the Tucson but with a more driver-focused interior. Good value for money and plenty of spec across the range, though slightly less boot space in plug-in models.
