Ford Kuga coming in 2012
The European-built five-door SUV wears Ford's signature "kinetic" design and is expected to be a popular addition to Ford's Australian vehicle catalogue, mixing SUV practicality with sharp driving dynamics that have been designed for adventure both on and off the road.
"The Ford Kuga will be an exciting addition to our Australian model range," Bob Graziano, President and CEO of Ford Australia, said,
"The Ford Kuga is certain to appeal to customers looking for a stylish, practical and fun compact SUV."
Today's announcement is the latest in a number of exciting product developments for Ford Australia. Over the past 12 months, the company has transformed its local model range with an impressive line-up of new and updated models as part of its ongoing plan to offer customers a choice of vehicles that deliver quality, safety, intelligent technologies and sustainable driving.
"During the last year we have either replaced or updated around 85 per cent of Ford's Australian model line-up and we are certain the Ford Kuga will be another compelling offer for our customers," he said.
