Kuga used, in Switzerland
The family SUV with a broad choice of drivetrains
The Ford Kuga is a roomy, pleasantly agile compact SUV with one of the broadest drivetrain ranges in its class: EcoBoost petrol, EcoBlue diesel, full hybrid (FHEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV). That means almost every driving profile finds the right version, from commuter to family.

Known weak points
- Kuga III plug-in hybrid: recall over fire risk of the traction battery (2020), require proof the recall and battery update were carried out
- 1.5 EcoBoost: earlier coolant-loss issue (cylinder head), check the coolant level and history
- 2.0 EcoBlue diesel: keep an eye on the particulate filter, EGR and, at high mileage, the timing chain
- Kuga II with the PowerShift dual-clutch: jerking and wear possible, on the plug-in generally check battery health and real range
Verdict: which to buy?
The 2.5 Full Hybrid is the fuss-free all-rounder, the plug-in only with home charging and a proven battery recall. The Kuga III (from 2019) is the clearly better choice, avoid the PowerShift versions of the Kuga II.
For families and commuters after a roomy SUV with the right drivetrain (hybrid or plug-in).
Frequently asked
- What does a used Ford Kuga cost in Switzerland?
- Depending on year and drivetrain, prices range from around CHF 14,000 for older cars to over CHF 40,000 for a recent Kuga plug-in hybrid. Our valuation tool gives a fair estimate.
- Full hybrid or plug-in hybrid for the Kuga?
- Without a charging option, the FHEV full hybrid is the simple, frugal choice. If you can charge regularly, the PHEV covers many daily trips on electric power, otherwise the benefit fades.
- What should I watch for on the Kuga plug-in hybrid?
- Early PHEVs were subject to a battery-related recall that must have been carried out. Also check battery health and the real-world electric range on a test drive.
- Is the Ford Kuga reliable?
- With a cared-for history the Kuga is solid. Watch the cooling system on the petrol, the recall and battery on the PHEV, and a complete service record in general. The listing Trustscore helps.
