The all new 2020 Ford Kuga/Escape

[Bili]

The sleek, spacious all-new Ford Kuga SUV is unveiled with distinctive design, a comprehensive electrified powertrain line-up and new driver assistance technology for the most efficient, comfortable and rewarding Kuga experience ever.

The stylish Kuga Titanium, sporty Kuga ST-Line and upscale Kuga Vignale each feature premium proportions that deliver improved roominess and comfort.

A comprehensive powertrain line-up includes Kuga Plug-In Hybrid, Kuga EcoBlue Hybrid (mild-hybrid) and Kuga Hybrid (full-hybrid) variants – making the all-new Kuga Ford’s most electrified vehicle ever.

Intuitive comfort and driver assistance features include a FordPass Connect embedded modem, wireless charging pad, and 12.3-inch LCD “true-colour” instrument display.

New Stop & Go, Speed Sign Recognition and Lane-Centring technologies help drivers negotiate stop-start and highway traffic with greater confidence than ever before, and Active Park Assist 2 enables fully automated parking manoeuvres at the push of a button.

I like that it breaks the trend of making all small crossovers look overly aggressive.

It looks more like a crossover in comparison to an old one. Also a shorter overhangs although the rear ones is most likely long due to oddly looking rear bumper.

I would say that this one looks much more suited for European market. And they've said that they cut the weight by 90 kg (~200 lbs) on average.

It's called Escape in US?

I see Mazda/Kia design styles here.

But I like what I see.

Yes, it's an Escape here.

I think the ST line version looks decent. Overall I get a very Kia vibe from it, I haven't been liking Fords new designs or interiors, that doesn't change here.

I wish you hadn't mentioned the ugly rear bumper because that's all I see now

The rear bumper and rear reflectors/fog lights are weird.

The front makes it look smaller than it probably is.

But overall, I don't find it ugly.

There will be a 7 seat version for Europe instead of Edge.

IDK, I like that it has a "real" rear bumper. The happy grill is totally Mazda. Ford will sell a ton of them.

 

[AlexB]

Looks like a better Equinox.

Just a tall Focus.... now it even looks more like Tall Focus.

Yes, it is. And that could earn a lot of money for Ford.
