Ford is adding the 200 PS 2.5 litre turbocharged inline-5 engine from the Volvo T5 cars and the Ford Focus ST to its Ford Kuga SUV. The inline-5 engine producs 200 PS at 6,000rpm and 320Nm of torque between 1,600 to 4,000rpm, which can take the car to a top speed of 208km/h.
The new engine will be displayed at Paris 2008 in a special Ford Kuga Individual which demonstrates Ford’s new Individual styling program. It adds 20 inch wheels wrapped with 255/35ZR20 tyres, a new larger rear spoiler, new bumpers and skirts which extend lower by approximately 50mm for a lower look, body-coloured wheel arches, and the rear twin exhaust pipes integrate nicely into the rear bumper styling.
The Kuga also retains its Haldex generation 4 intelligent all-wheel drive and is mated to a 6-speed manual as standard, though a 5-speed Durashift 5-Tronic automatic sourced from Aisin is available as an option.
A hi-res gallery is available after the jump.

if i was the ford dealer, i would definitely bring this car to malaysia, its nicer than the tiguan, crv, rav4, murano , qashqai etc…probably the prettiest suv
yeah very true…I wish they could bring it here…But it still depends on whether Malaysians will regard it as cool.
If they can bring it here, do u guys think the price would be low n the badge can sell over here??? Hee hee……..
