Comparison: length Ford Kuga vs. competitors 2025

The venerable Ford Kuga, ladies and gentlemen, is akin to a shapeshifter, with its dimensions having gracefully evolved through time. Our current Kuga, nestled snugly in the lion's den that is the SUV market, stretches to a proud 4614 millimeters from snout to tail, affording ample room for both the groceries and the family dog.

Ford Kuga - How has the length changed over the generations?

Tracing the Kuga's genealogy reveals a fascinating tale of growth. The first-generation Kuga (2008-2012) was a relatively compact cub at 4443mm, sprouting up to 4524mm in its second incarnation (2013-2019), before fully stretching its legs in its third and current generation (2019-now), reaching that aforementioned 4614mm length. Quite the growth spurt, I daresay, and it's not just in length; the trunk capacity with the rear seats folded has experienced its own little yo-yo effect, ballooning from 1405 liters initially, to a cavernous 1653 liters, and then settling at a slightly more modest 1534 liters in its latest guise.

The difference in length between first generation (I) from 2008 and last generation (Kuga III (1. Facelift)) from 2024 is 16.1cm mm.
The length of the current generation of Kuga is 4604 mm.

The length compared to other Ford models

In the grand theatre of Ford models, the Kuga plays the role of the middle child, larger than the urbanite Fiesta at 4091mm and the rugged but city-sized EcoSport at a mere 4096mm. It's outstretched by its larger siblings – the worldly explorer in the form of the Edge at a strapping 4808mm, and the imposing Galaxy stretching the tape at a towering 4848mm. As for the Mustang Mach-E, which one could argue is from another planet altogether, dwarfs our subject at 4713mm, thus effectively making the Kuga the 'Goldilocks' of the lineup with regards to length – just right, fitting neatly between the compact dance and the large SUV parade.

How does the length of the Ford Kuga compare to it's nearest competitors?

But how does our dear Kuga compare to those other wild creatures lurking in the SUV savannah? Well, like a seasoned boxer, it knows its weight class. It edges past the Hyundai IONIQ 5's length of 4635mm, yet is overshadowed by the MG Marvel R's stretch at 4674mm. In terms of wheelbase – that critical measure of interior spaciousness – it’s a finely tuned battle, with the Kuga's wheelbase still undisclosed, falling between IONIQ 5's 3000mm and MG's 2804mm, perhaps hinting at a balance of interior comfort and handling dynamics. The saga continues with rivals such as the Subaru Solterra at 4690mm, and VinFast VF 8 at 4750mm, both slightly more elongated creatures than our Kuga, while others like the Tesla Model Y at 4751mm and Jaguar F-Pace at 4731mm stand as reminders that in the evolutionary race for length, there's always a bigger fish... or SUV, as it were.
