The 3rd generation of the Ford Kuga (known as escape in Europe), unveiled in 2019, is finally about to usher in a mid-term minor overhaul three years after its release. Recently, foreign media Autoevolution captured a test photo of a small modified Kuga camouflage car in Germany, which will be officially unveiled as soon as the second half of this year (2022).
The small redesign Kuga captured this time has camouflage stickers covering the front and rear of the car, so the details are still not clearly recognizable. However, from the outline of the headlight group, the design logic of the small modification Kuga is roughly the same as that of the small redesign Focus, using a more slender design to make it look more neat. In addition, in the rear part of the car, it can also be clearly seen that the LED light bar in the tail light group has been redesigned from the original shape close to the inverted L to a shape similar to the ㄇ character. In addition, including the position of the tailgate handle, the rear retainer shape and the rear lower spoiler, there will also be a different design.
In terms of interiors, although the photos captured by the foreign media this time only have the appearance of the vehicle, after the photo is enlarged, it can be vaguely seen that the small modification Kuga will have a more modern dashboard design, and the position of the central information screen will also be integrated from the top of the current large center console to the center of the dashboard. However, due to the lack of clarity in the photos and the fact that the test vehicle is still in the prototype stage, there is still no guarantee that the interior of the minor makeover Kuga will not change again.
As for the power part, although the original factory has not released any information at present, it is speculated that it should be the same configuration as the current one, that is, different forms of electrified power such as Hybrid, Mild-hybrid and Plug-in hybrid will continue, and pure fuel models such as 1.5 liters, 2.0 liter gasoline and diesel engines, etc., should not be absent.
