Whether you are into extreme sports or gentle family rambling, Kuga will take everything you need in its stride. The second row of seating has a 60:40 split and folds flat, while under-seat storage creates even more space. There is also further storage available under the floor of the luggage compartment area.

In two-seat mode, there’s a generous 1,405 litres of load space to fill, while in five-seat mode the enclosed luggage compartment can hold up to 410 litres in volume when the under floor load compartment tray is removed. With no sill to negotiate, it’s easy to load and unload heavy items, and because the floor is flat through to the rear tailgate, there is nothing to snag on when pulling or pushing things across the compartment.

The stylish flow-through centre console contains useful stowage space and houses innovative features such as the ‘Ford Power’ start button, available as standard. The pull-out armrest is fitted with a useful in-built storage bin.
