最近谍照记者首次拍到了2020款福特Kuga，新车内部结构完全不同，可以看出，新车的悬挂更高，而接近角提升，更适合越野行驶。而车尾也进一步扩大，增加行李箱容积，或许也是为了增加内部空间以便能容纳第三排座椅。Kuga的轴距落后于包括本田CR-V和大众途观这些竞争车型，这些车的轴距进一步增加。而新车动力系统包括1.5升和2.0升引擎，福特希望向欧洲市场提供搭载150和190马力柴油引擎的EcoBlue车型。新款Kuga并未增加纯电动版，而是在2020款车型增加了插电混动版，该车将搭载一台150马力1.5升引擎和88千瓦电机，总计输出功率在210至220马力之间。最近甚至有传言称，福特将在德国推出功率284马力，扭矩380牛米的“KugaRS”，不过，该车更有可能被命名为“ST”。而与引擎搭配的是福特自己开发的八速自动变速器。希望新变速器能比老款车的PowerShift更耐用。

 

2020 Ford Kuga SUV Prototype Spied for the First Time

 This is the first sighting of the 2020 Ford Kuga. The underbody is radically different. As you can see, the suspension sits much higher, while the approach angle (the front end bumper) is much better for off-roading. Meanwhile, the back end of the vehicle has been extended further, boosting trunk space and perhaps making room for a third row.

 

The Kuga has fallen behind rivals like the Honda CR-V and especially the Tiguan with its extended wheelbase (in America, over the Euro model).

 

Engine options should revolve around the 1.5 and 2.0-liter displacement. In Europe, Ford will offer 150 and 190 PS versions of its EcoBlue diesel.

 

Not content with simply developing a full-electric standalone SUV, Ford will also have a PHEV version of the 2020 Escape, powered by a combination of 150 horsepower 1.5-liter and 88 kW electric motor. Total output should be around 210-220 ponies.

 

There's even a rumor about a 284 PS, 380 Nm engine finding its way under the hood of the "Kuga RS" in Germany. While it makes more sense to use the ST badge, we're just happy that a performance version is at least being considered.

 

The main gearbox option will be the 8-speed automatic, which Ford developed in-house. Hopefully, it's more reliable than all the previous PowerShift units.
