In the Ford Kuga, this all new petrol engine fuel consumption has been reduced by 25 percent. The gearbox combines the convenience of an automatic with the control of a manual, this six-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox pre-selects the next gear for you, so you don’t lose any power when you change. PowerShift’s lightning fast; seamless gear changes not only make driving smoother and more pleasurable, but also save fuel and reduce CO2 emissions when compared to a normal automatic gearbox.
