Is the Ford Kuga fuel-efficient?
2 Answers
The Ford Kuga has a fuel consumption of 7.5-8.8L, which is quite low for an SUV. Below is a related introduction to the Ford Kuga: 1. The Ford Kuga is an SUV under the Ford brand. The length, width, height, and wheelbase of the Ford Kuga are 4523/1839/1684/2690mm, positioning it as a compact SUV. This Ford model, referred to as the "smarter SUV," features a luxurious and stylish exterior, a highly modern interior, and numerous high-tech configurations that lead its class. 2. In terms of power, the Ford Kuga is equipped with a 1.5-GTDi turbocharged engine, replacing the previous 1.6T. It is worth mentioning that the 1.5-GTDi models come standard with the now-mainstream engine automatic start-stop system. Compared to other SUVs in the same class, the fuel consumption of this car is still quite low.
I've been driving a Ford Kuga for three years, and the fuel consumption really depends on usage scenarios. In city traffic jams, the dashboard shows over 11L/100km, while highway cruising drops to around 8L. Personally, I feel driving habits make a big difference - I prefer smooth acceleration and less braking, saving half a tank monthly compared to colleagues driving the same model. Running AC in summer adds 0.5-1L/100km, and a fully loaded trunk on mountain roads also significantly increases consumption. The 1.5T engine moving this 1.6-ton body isn't exactly fuel-efficient, but it's much improved over the old 2.0T version. I recommend installing a fuel monitoring app to track data, maintaining tire pressure at 2.5 bar for better efficiency, and using 5W-20 oil instead of 5W-30 for better economy.
