The Kuga is equipped with an advanced Intelligent Protection System (IPS), which coordinates a number of safety systems to protect you and your passengers. As well as a rigid, ultra-strong bodyshell, there’s also an array of airbags. To help reduce the chance of injury in the event of an accident, the steering column will collapse away from the driver.
5-star safety levels both on and off-road
The Ford Kuga is designed to tackle the most hostile terrain and conditions, which means it’s vital that the vehicle achieves the highest possible levels of safety. In fact, the Kuga sets new standards for safety in all-wheel-drive cars. Euro NCAP put the vehicle through exhaustive testing before awarding it a class-leading combination of five stars for occupant safety, four stars for child safety and three stars for pedestrian protection.

Stay in control whatever the conditions
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) constantly monitors your vehicle’s progress. It senses any deviations from your chosen driving line, such as if you start to skid and automatically corrects your road position. The system is always active but you now have the option to switch to the new ‘Reduced assistance’ mode. This helps in slippery traction situations, such as deep snow. ESP also incorporates Traction Control (see below).
Maximum grip with minimum effort
Our advanced Traction Control System (TCS) eliminates excessive wheel spin and gives you the best possible grip, performance and stability when you need it most. The system constantly monitors and adjusts the power to the Kuga’s individual wheels, ensuring maximum contact and grip when you’re accelerating or decelerating.
ISOFIX child seat attachments
The safety, comfort and protection of your children is paramount. That’s why you’ll find ISOFIX child seat attachments available as standard on the outer rear seats of the Kuga. They include top tether anchorage, which significantly reduces the chance of head injury in an accident.
Ultra-bright, low-energy headlights
Helping you see and be seen, optional bi-xenon headlights deliver twice as much light as standard halogen bulbs, while using less energy. To help you stand out more on the road, LED day running lights are fitted with the bi-xenon headlights while ultra-bright LED rear lights also improve visibility.
For additional peace of mind, the Kuga has a comprehensive package of security features, both standard and optional.
- Perimeter alarm
- Remote central double-locking
- High-security, anti-burst locks, shielded with strengthened mountings to prevent tampering
- Our patented Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) immobiliser, which disables the engine until your uniquely-coded key is put into the ignition.
