As rumoured, Ford are going to stick the Focus ST lump in the Kuga. However, what wasn't rumoured are these upgrades...

Now I cant wait to see this!


Only 197bhp though

the FocusST engine is 225bhp standard and gets 270bhp on a remap. But in saying that, I think the code red remap will suffice on the 2.0tdci engine which takes it up to 182bhp, as after all its not a hot hatch so the handling would probably be compromised with to much power?



But the styling is awesome looking!!!!



Lets hope we can get the stylingas an added extra on the tdci?

Sorry but side skirts and lower bumpers are not what a 4x4 needs as they reduce ground clearance - I like the way my Kuga is now although the grille design is rather good!!!

I take it you wouldn't be interested in the lowering springs for it then

If I am honset I cant see myself doing much 4x4 work in this? IfI needed a 4x4 I thinkI would be in themarket for a land rover or something else?



But the awd will come in handy now and again when trying to pull a caravan out of muddy fields. So ground clearance would not be an issue for me tbh.
