Kuga came last in the hill test out of the qashqi, tiguan and koleos. Well the first 2 made it all the way up the hill and but the kuga didnt even make ita 1/4 of the way up.Even the renault got further! But dont know what engines were in the other cars as its in french? so might of been a disadvantage there???
maybe crapqai had the 148bhp 2l diesel. powerful but thirsty and diirty.

It's only in the UK that Ford is supplying the Kuga in all wheel drive version as the only option.
I'm sure I read somewhere that in Europe you can opt for 2 or all wheel drive versions, so perhaps they used the 2 wheel drive version in the clip?
