New Ford Kuga Titanium X Sport tops Kuga range

Ford’s latest Kuga crossover/SUV is turning in to something of a success story for Ford, with Kuga production increased earlier this year to keep up with demand. Not only that, but it seems some 87 per cent of all Kugas are being ordered in range-topping Titanium and Titanium X trim levels, which leaves Ford just one option – come up with a name for a trim level even higher than Titanium X to bring in more high-priced sales.

Our suggestion earlier in the year was to do exactly that, perhaps with a Titanium XX, Titanium Ultimate  or Titanium Black, but Ford has decided on Kuga Titanium X Sport for their new range topping, more expensive, better equipped Kuga.

So instead of opting for a Titanium X and bolting on extra goodies, you can now have the Titanium X Sport with stuff like ‘Sports’ styling – body coloured skirts and wheel arches, rear spoiler, high gloss diffuser and bumper detailing, 19″ alloys and silver skid plate – Sony DAB Nav, Rear View Camera, Active Park Assist and power mirrors, all from a  starting price of £28,345.

We did think that every Kuga we saw was a top of the range because Cars UK Towers is bang in the heart of Ford Exec country – where every man jack seems to have specced a new Kuga for ‘er indoors – but it seems the modern Ford Kuga customer wants every toy possible, which won’t do Ford’s bottom line any harm at all.

The new Ford Kuga Titanium X Sport goes on sale today with first customer cars in October.
