In its first generation, Ford Kuga is 4443 mm (174.92 in.) in length, 1832 mm (72.13 in.) - 1842 mm (72.52 in.) in width, and 1677 mm (66.02 in.) - 1710 mm (67.32 in.) in height. The slightly larger second generation variants are 4524 mm (178.11 in.) - 4531 mm (178.39 in.) long, 1838 mm (72.36 in.) - 1842 mm (72.52 in.) wide, and 1703 mm (67.05 in.) - 1710 mm (67.32 in.) tall.

Most Ford Kuga variants, both hybrid and non-hybrid, are quite low on consumption. Those, equipped with 2.0 TDCI engines, have economy figures of between 4.7 l/100 km (50.05 mpg) and 6.4 l/100 km (36.75 mpg).
There are three output options for Ford Kuga vehicles, powered by 1.5 EcoBoost engines. Those are 120 Hp, 240 Nm; 150 Hp, 240 Nm; and 182 Hp, 240 Nm.
The third generation Ford Kuga range offers 3 hybrid variants – a mild hybrid, a full hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid, for those looking for electrified options, but a fully-electric vehicle is not yet available.
A full charge of a Ford Kuga Plug-in Hybrid from a 230V electrical outlet should take about 4 hours.
2020 Ford Kuga drivers benefit from a number of driver assistant technologies, that ensure a safer and more convenient experience. Those include:
- Adaptive Front Lighting System, that pre-adjusts headlamp patterns for better visibility, when approaching a curve, junction or roundabout;
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go, Speed Sign Recognition and Lane-Centring, which helps keep an appropriate distance from vehicles ahead and stay in the center of the lane;
- Lane-Keeping System with Blind Spot Assist, that makes travelling on multi-lane roads easier by monitoring the driver’s blind spot and keeping in the right lane;
- Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection technology, that feature a new Intersection functionality, which can automatically apply the brakes to avoid or reduce the effects of accidents;
- Cross Traffic Alert, that warns drivers of vehicles approaching, when reversing out of a parking space and can apply the brakes, if needed;
- Active Park Assist 2, which can fully-automatically manoeuvre into and out of a parking spot;
- Evasive Steering Assist, which monitors for slower-moving and stationary vehicles ahead and provides steering support;
- Post-Collision Braking technology, which applies moderate brake pressure in case of a collision, to avoid a secondary collision or limit its impact, if such occurs.
