    Ford Kuga 2013: AWD fuel consumption

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Kuga Ford Kuga Advice Ford Kuga 2013

    One of the reasons we bought our 2013 Ford Kuga AWD was fuel consumption, which was quoted at being about 6.5km per litre for the ecoboost petrol engine. The problem is that we are only getting about 9.7km per litre. As we live in a country area and most of our driving is classified as country I am disappointed that it is not better. I was told at the first service that the car needs to get used to our driving, at 15,000km I was told not to use cruise control. I only use 95 RON, so curious as to if it should be better. Otherwise we love the car.

    I'll start by assuming the fuel consumption figures you quote are in L/100 km, not km per litre. The quoted fuel consumption figure is 7.7-8.0 L/100 km, but remember that this is a guide only based on a laboratory test and not real life. While the real life consumption should be somewhere near the quoted lab test number it depends on a number of factors, from the way you drive, the driving conditions, tyre inflation pressures, state of tune of your car etc. It should be better than it appears to be, so I would talk to the dealer and ask what can be done to reduce the consumption to a more acceptable level.
