The Ford Kuga is classified as a medium size SUV under $60,000.

Ford introduced a Kuga model back in March 2012.  It was already a four year old model and limited supply meant that Ford Australia would get only 200 per month.  It replaced the unlamented Ford Escape.

Now the new model, released this year, is currently the 9th bestselling car in its class, a good way behind the leader, the very competent Mazda CX5.  In September 2013 the Mazda outsold the Ford by over four to one.

Does the Ford deserve such a lowly position?  I think not.  To tell us all about it I have on the line Brent Davison from the Newcastle Herald and the Illawarra Mercury.
