2020 New Ford Kuga Earns 5-Star NCAP Euro Safety Rating

 

The 2020 All-New Ford Kuga has earned 5/5 stars from Euro NCAP - a European car safety performance assessment programme that performs various crash tests on new vehicles.

 

The 3rd generation Kuga went on to score 92% for adult occupancy, 86% for child occupancy, 82% for vulnerable road users and 73% for the SUV’s safety assistance. Its high Adult Occupant score can be broken down into 4 crash tests and 3 city driving scenarios of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). As shown in the graphic, the All-New 2020 Ford Kuga gained a perfect score when tested for lateral impact in Adult Occupants.

It went on to score perfectly in each AEB city scenario which consisted of:

  1. Approaching a stationary car from the left
  2. Approaching a stationary car head-on
  3. Approaching a stationary car from the right

In all instances, the All-New Ford Kuga was able to detect the vehicle ahead and was able to apply its Automatic Emergency Braking system.

Frontal lateral testing for Child Occupants (based on 6 & 10-year-old children) also saw a perfect 16/16 points. The dummies were strapped into the Kuga using safety restraints - a Britax Römer KidFix XP car seat for the 6-year-old and a Booster Cushion for the 10-year old).

‘Used Car Disclaimer’
Some of our vehicles have been sourced from Manufacturer buy back schemes or selected Fleets. As a result whilst we can confirm the number of registered keepers we cannot confirm how many drivers a vehicle has had. We can confirm that the vehicle has passed a comprehensive AA Approved check carried out by a manufacturer approved technician and has a full HPI Provenance check meaning we can guarantee its lifetime history.

Sandicliffe subscribes to the Motor Industry Code of Practise for Service and Repair (and Vehicles Sales where applicable) for motor vehicles.

Sandicliffe Garage Ltd and Sandicliffe Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Sandicliffe Garage Ltd and Sandicliffe Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
