Ford Kuga PHEV 225: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Kuga PHEV 225 rank in its segment?

Among the 9 C-SUV plug-in hybrid 2018–2022, the Kuga PHEV 225 ranks 6th of 9 in Electric WLTP range (56 km, behind the Toyota RAV4 PHEV), 1st of 9 in Combined range (1013 km, behind the Ford Kuga PHEV 225), 1st of 9 in Thermal cons. estimated (4.7 L/100, behind the Ford Kuga PHEV 225), 9th of 9 in 0–100 km/h (9.2 s, behind the Toyota RAV4 PHEV).

What is the électrique range of the Kuga PHEV 225?

56 km WLTP announced - making it the 6th of 9 in Electric WLTP range out of 9 models. The reference is the Toyota RAV4 PHEV (75 km).

How much does the Kuga PHEV 225 cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Toyota RAV4 PHEV instead?

The Toyota RAV4 PHEV leads in Electric WLTP range (75 km vs 56 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Kuga PHEV 225 vs Toyota RAV4 PHEV duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
