With around 7,500 sales in the year to date, those seeking a sportier spin on the ever-popular Ford Kuga will be able to do so from today.Ford has announced that customers will today be able to order the new luxury, feature-packed Titanium X Sport, with the first deliveries to the UK expected to be in October. Priced from £28,345, Ford says its new Titanium X Sport will be more stylish and aesthetically pleasing – having a body coloured front rear and side skirts, body coloured wheel arches, large rear spoiler, high gloss rear diffuser, front silver skid plate, high gloss black bumper detailing, unique 19-inch alloy wheels, chrome roof rails and dark rear windows with privacy glass. 

Popular technology options such as Sony DAB Navigation system, Rear View Camera, Active Park Assist and power folding door mirrors have also been standardised.Around eight out of ten Ford Kuga customers opt for the high-spec models including the Titanium or Titanium X. Ford said 85 per cent of these customers add the optional appearance pack and in excess of 40 per cent choose the convenience pack ‘which includes power fold door mirrors and Active Park Assist’.  

The hands-free power tailgate has also proved popular with a quarter of customers benefiting from the kick activated tailgate opening – the first such technology in the Kuga’s segment.Mark Ovenden, Ford of Britain’s managing director, said: “With such strong customer demand for the Ford Kuga and the majority of buyers choosing the luxury and refinement of the Titanium X with optional extras, it made perfect sense to introduce the stylish range topping Titanium X Sport. 

“The Ford Kuga is fuel-efficient, high-tech and capable and the Titanium X Sport combines all this and more to provide the ultimate package.”Available to order from today (August 19), the first Kuga Titanium X Sports models are expected to be delivered to the UK market from October 2013.
