The Ford Kuga, a compact crossover SUV, was introduced in 2008 as a European-market counterpart to the Ford Escape sold in North America. The first generation Kuga, produced from 2008 to 2012, was based on the Ford C1 platform, shared with the Ford Focus and Mazda 3. The Kuga offered a range of gasoline and diesel engine options, including a 2.0-liter Duratec petrol engine and a 2.0-liter Duratorq diesel engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Available in both front-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations, the Kuga offered a comfortable and spacious cabin, with a focus on practicality and versatility. Its features included a spacious cargo area, a well-designed interior, and a range of standard safety features such as anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control.

The 2008-2012 Ford Kuga was praised for its fuel efficiency, driving dynamics, and its combination of practicality and style. However, it did face some criticism for its relatively small interior space for rear passengers and its somewhat underwhelming performance compared to its rivals. Despite its limitations, the first-generation Kuga established a strong foundation for the model, paving the way for its subsequent generations, which would refine its strengths and address its shortcomings. A service and repair manual for this model provides valuable information for owners and mechanics, covering a wide range of topics, including engine maintenance, transmission repair, electrical troubleshooting, and bodywork. By understanding the technical details and procedures outlined in the manual, owners and repair professionals can ensure the safe and efficient operation of their Ford Kuga.
