The Ford Kuga is a great choice if you’re looking for a compact SUV for your next vehicle, that offers you a high driving position, the latest technology - including Ford’s SYNC 4 system - and plenty of space for passengers. The 2026 Ford Kuga is available in 2 distinct hybrid options: the Full Hybrid (FHEV) for self-charging convenience, and the Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) for extended electric-only driving. Alternatively, an entry-level EcoBoost petrol engine remains available for those preferring a traditional powertrain.
The Kuga is a product of one of the largest US car manufacturers and export models around the globe. It occupies a unique middle ground in the UK lineup as the brand's most versatile family vehicle, primarily because it's the only model that still offers a choice between traditional petrol engines, self-charging full hybrids, and plug-in hybrid powertrains. While newer arrivals like the Explorer and Capri have moved the range toward a fully electric future, the Kuga remains the go-to option for drivers who aren't ready to go EV-only.
Within the Ford family, it sits directly above the compact Puma crossover in terms of size and price, offering significantly more passenger room and a sliding rear bench that isn't found in its smaller sibling.

It's the ideal choice for families who need a little more room, adventurers with a lot of equipment and drivers who simply want a higher ride height.
With a body that measures 4,629mm in length (though some variants range from 4,604mm to 4,645mm depending on bumper styling), 2,000mm in width and 1,681mm height, the Kuga has plenty of space for your passenger and cargo needs. The boot can be 412 litres of space with a roomy rear row of seats or you can slide them forward for 526 litres of cargo space. With the rear seats down you'll boost the space to 1,534 litres.
Alternatively, you might want to compare the Kuga leasing offers we have with those available on similar models from other brands. If that's the case then we recommend taking a look at the VW Tiguan and the Kia Sportage.
There are a number of reasons that leasing a Kuga is a great choice.
Firstly, with a lease you don't own the vehicle so there’s no worry about its depreciating value during your time driving it. When you reach the end of your contract, simply hand the car back and get your next lease vehicle.
You won't be paying for the value of the entire vehicle, only the depreciation in the time you're driving it, so monthly payments on a PCH are lower than they would be on a purchase plan, and can include a maintenance package to save you from any unexpected garage expenses.
And that's not all. Lease through Xcite Car Leasing and you'll gain peace of mind from engaging with a car leasing company that has over 2 decades of experience in developing partnerships with funders and manufacturers all over the country.
Yes, there is a plug in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Ford Kuga.
The electric range of the Kuga PHEV is 35 miles. Once you’ve depleted the electric battery the vehicle will automatically switch over to the combustion engine without interruption for seamless driving.
The monthly price of a Kuga lease will vary depending on a number of factors including:
