2025 Ford Kuga 1.5 EcoBoost Titanium 5dr Estate Petrol Manual

Description

So, I’ve been driving this 2025 Ford Kuga for a few months now, and honestly? It’s been a real joy. The 1.5 EcoBoost engine gives you a solid 148 bhp and 240 Nm of torque, and with the 6-speed manual, it’s actually quite satisfying to drive — especially on the twisty bits around Earl Shilton, Hinckley and Bosworth. Got it down to about 9.6 seconds from 0 to 62 mph, and it’ll hit around 121 mph before you start thinking about shifting.

Fuel economy’s good too — I’m averaging about 45 mpg on the road, which is more than enough for my daily commute and weekend trips. CO2’s around 144–163 g/km depending on how I’m driving, which keeps it fairly eco-friendly for a petrol estate.

Outdoors, it looks sharp with those machined 18-inch alloy wheels — polished finish, not flashy, just clean and modern. LED DRLs, fog lights, silver roof rails, and body-coloured bumpers make it stand out without being too flashy. Heated mirrors, puddle lights, and privacy glass are handy features I’ve actually used quite a bit.

Inside, it’s tech-heavy but not overwhelming. The 12.3 digital instrument cluster and 13-inch SYNC 4 screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mean I can just keep going without fumbling for a phone. Navigation’s solid, and there’s a rear-view camera, parking sensors, and hands-free tailgate — which I use every time I park. The sliding second-row seats (60:40 split) are a godsend when I’ve got kids or a load of gear.

Safety-wise, it’s got a five-star Euro NCAP rating — 92% for adults, 86% for kids — and includes lane-keeping, automatic emergency braking, and traffic sign recognition. ESP, dual-zone climate control, and safety belt pretensioners are all standard, which gives me real peace of mind.

The boot’s generous — around 612 litres with seats up, and when I fold them, it jumps to 1,534 litres. Towing’s a solid 1,800 kg too, so if I ever need to move a trailer or caravan, it’s more than up to the job.

I bought it used, and it’s been well looked after — no major issues, just a bit of wear on the leather trim and a couple of small scratches, but nothing that affects the drive. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, practical, and just about everything I wanted in a family estate.

I’m not selling it because I’ve moved — I just need to downsize a bit and keep the car for a few more years. It’s been a great companion over the last few months.

Price is £26,999.10 — fair for what it is, especially with all the features and the warranty.

I’m a family man, and this car has actually made life easier — especially with the kids and weekend trips to the countryside. If you’re looking for a solid, well-equipped, practical estate that doesn’t feel like a monster, this one’s worth a look.

I’ve been selling vehicles through Vospers for years — a family-run lot based across Devon and Cornwall, with a few branches in the area. I’ve seen loads of cars come through, and this one’s one of the more balanced ones.

It comes with a 12-month warranty and roadside assistance — no surprises, just solid cover in case of anything. If it breaks down, we’ll get you sorted — whether it’s a flat tyre, a mechanical fault, or just something unexpected.

If you’re in the Earl Shilton, Hinckley or Bosworth area, I’m happy to meet up or deliver it. Otherwise, I can arrange a pickup or delivery.

Just don’t expect it to be a show car — it’s lived-in, but still drives well. And honestly? I’d trust it to get me from A to B without too much hassle.
