Ford Kuga automobile

The Ford Kuga is a compact crossover SUV developed by the American automaker Ford. Originally launched to cater to the European market's growing demand for SUVs, the Kuga shares its platform with the Ford Focus and the Ford Escape (its North American counterpart). The green vehicle in the image is a third-generation model, featuring modern styling and advanced powertrain options.

While Ford is a quintessential American brand, the Kuga is a global product. For the European market, the Kuga is primarily manufactured at the Ford Valencia Assembly Plant in Almussafes, Spain. This facility is critical to Ford's European operations, producing hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and internal combustion engine variants of the vehicle. Ownership remains with the Ford Motor Company, headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, USA.
