Have Ford stopped making diesel Kuga?
Current status of diesel engines in the Kuga
Before examining specifics, note that diesel availability is not uniformly withdrawn across all regions; instead, Ford is narrowing diesel offerings in favor of hybrid and electric configurations. Always verify the exact engine options with a local dealer for your country and the desired trim.
- In Europe, the Kuga has been offered with the 2.0-l EcoBlue diesel in multiple power outputs, depending on market and transmission choice.
- Several European markets have reduced or removed diesel options in certain trims or model-year updates as electrified variants gain prominence.
- The Kuga PHEV and mild-hybrid versions are widely promoted and remain available in many markets as Ford’s preferred electrified choices.
- In the United States, there is no Ford Kuga; the corresponding model is the Escape, which has petrol and hybrid powertrains but no diesel option.
Conclusion: Ford’s approach to the Kuga diesel option is not a blanket withdrawal, but a market-driven narrowing of diesel availability in favor of hybrids and plug-in hybrids. For the exact configuration in your country and at a given model year, consult the official Ford site or a local dealer.
