Ford Kuga's body width is 1838mm, with its length and height being 4524mm and 1701mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. The Ford Kuga is a compact SUV launched by Ford, featuring a luxurious and stylish exterior, a highly modern interior, and numerous high-tech configurations leading in its class. Inheriting Ford SUV family's over half-century of profound accumulation in R&D, design, manufacturing, and tuning, the Ford Kuga's center console is now equipped with a new 10-inch LCD screen, paired with the new internet car intelligent system. The optimized rear seating space improves knee room for rear passengers, further enhancing riding comfort.

I just measured my friend's Ford Kuga last month, and the data is still fresh in my mind. The body width of the third-generation model ranges between 1830mm to 1882mm, depending on whether it has the sports package. The most standard 2022 model has a width of 1830mm excluding the side mirrors, which is on the narrower side for a compact SUV. In real-world driving, it feels quite agile when navigating narrow alleys. When parking in a mall garage, folding the mirrors allows it to fit into parallel parking spots with relative ease. However, remember that opting for larger wheels will widen the track by a few centimeters, so it's best to confirm the parking space dimensions beforehand when using mechanical parking spaces.

During car repairs, Escape owners often ask about dimension data. The Ford Escape's width design is quite balanced - the European version measures 1830mm excluding mirrors and 1882mm including mirrors. The US version is slightly wider due to bumper differences. This width is narrower than the CR-V but wider than the Qashqai. When passing through width-restricted posts, maintaining 60cm clearance is generally sufficient. Recently, a lady scratched her car against a wall because she mistakenly thought it was as wide as the old Tiguan. Remember that mirrors extend beyond the body width - the true passing clearance can only be assessed when mirrors are folded.

After reviewing the test report, it is confirmed that the standard width of the Ford Kuga is 1830mm. Compared to its peers, the Toyota RAV4 measures 1855mm and the Honda CR-V is also 1855mm, making the Kuga more advantageous when navigating narrow roads. This width is quite suitable for urban commuting, but the shoulder room for three passengers in the rear seat may feel cramped when fully loaded with five people. It's important to note that the width measurement does not include door handles or side protectors. If modified with wide-body kits, it must be reported to the traffic management authorities.
