Hi

Im in the market for a SUV auto 2.0 dti . When will the Kuga (if at all) be released with an auto box?

No interest in a 200bhp petrol auto so the 2.5kl auto doesn't interest me.

Many thanks in advance

very doubtful if the Kuga will ever be fitted with 2.0L box as small market. 2.5 L auto in petrol is good for towing and performance.
ideally I would have loved an auto box with my 2.0L diesel but ford are for some reason very anti-auto boxes on diesels !!
probably the american influence at work as they think all diesels are for europeans small cars or trucks only.
pity they didn't take a lesson from Jaguar or Land Rover. If applied to the uK small car market there is terrific demand from pensioners for a small (diesel) auto box car.
