Ford India is no doubt banking heavily on the Indian market to grow its overall sales for the group. Currently Ford India only has one SUV in the country which has done very well – the Ford Endeavour. But now the company is on a mission to launch a host of new products and extend its portfolio. There are already a number of sedans on the cards but now there is also this small diesel SUV on its way.
The Kuga features a 1997cc diesel engine and can produce about 136bhp and is very torquey at 236Nm. It is a true 5-seater with not too much cargo space and also comes with a 6-speed manual transmission. It also has some pretty high tech gadgetry and good safety features.
Ford India plans to launch no less than 8 all new models in the country by 2015. All these models will be global products sold in many countries across the world. The first such product was the all new Fiesta sedan, that was launched in 2011. The next big launch is that of the EcoSport in 2013, while the all new Endeavour SUV also should be launched soon.
Also, there is some talk about the Focus sedan being primed up for an Indian launch and so is the Ford Mondeo, in the coming years of course. This leaves gap for three more cars, of which the Ford entry level sub-Figo small car could be one more car.
Stay tuned for more information on Ford kuga.
