Ford is all set to expand its popular Kuga crossover breed with its recent policy of adding three new models to the existing series. The Kuga range is immensely popular both among the users and critics for its lower CO2 emission, automatic transmission, and greater power and torque. The new models set for launch will retain many of the impressive traits of the existing Kuga, especially 2.0-litre TDCi, but with a far more effective role as a CO2 banisher. The new models CO2 output has been measured at just 159g/km.

Business users are actually in for a treat as the new front-wheel-drive version effectively enhances fuel economy and comes with many a cost benefits. Business customers in particular can now look forward to a change in legislation, set to take place in April next year, as it will clear the way for them to reap the benefits offered by Kuga 2WD. The benefit is that they can now lay their claim for a 20 per cent annual write down allowance against Corporation Tax for a car with less than 160g/km CO2. That is not all as customers stand to gain more for its improved fuel efficiency as it falls into the new sub-160g/km banding for Vehicle Excise Duty. With these savings one could easily outfit the car with a high valued entertainment system like the Kenwood KVT-729. Moreover, Ford has added new performance flagships to the Kuga range, intelligently coupling the intuitive AWD with the acclaimed 2.5-litre Duratec engine found in the Focus ST, Mondeo and S-MAX.

That is not all, as the models, each outfitted with 200PS and linear torque of 320Nm, the five-cylinder petrol-engined giant powers from standstill to 62mph in 8.2sec flat.
