Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Toyota has finally joined the booming city SUV segment, with a high-riding Yaris available with petrol or hybrid power.

Pros
Roomy cabin and cargo hold
Long list of advanced safety tech
Relatively fuel-efficient
Can run on regular unleaded

Cons
High price compared to most rivals
Long-ish emergency braking distance for such a small and light car
Base-model's halogen headlights could be better

By: 
caradvice.com.au

Pros
Hybrid stuff works well,
some interesting ideas here

Cons
Pre-prod car's ride not great,
occasionally sluggish performance

By: 
topgear.com

The new Kuga is safer and roomier than before. Less fun, but a better family car

Pros
Safer,
more affordable,
more spacious and more convenient than before

Cons
Not as fun as it used to be. It's grown up and got some proper trousers...

By: 
topgear.com

The Ford Kuga has recently been facelifted to keep it competitive, but its dashboard still lags behind some rivals.With attractive styling, decent practicality and an impressive safety record, the Kuga is a convincing family SUV. It can't quite match the extremely high all-round standards of some of its latest rivals – the SEAT Ateca in particular – but for the right deal it's worth considering.

PROS
Good value and well equipped
Economical diesel engines
Spacious interior

CONS
Too many buttons inside
Outshone by several rivals
Inferior automatic gearboxes

By: 
carbuyer.co.uk

Amongst other family SUVs, the previous Ford Kuga was a good looking car. Now, though, it’s even more distinctive to look at and its engine choices are bang up to date.

Pros
Good fun to drive for an SUV
Keen price and generous equipment
Plug-in hybrid has a decent electric range

Cons
Alternatives have plusher interiors
Smaller boot than alternatives
Poor tow rating for plug-in hybrid
