Specing a new Ford Kuga,, Exterior / Wheels

[jamiesonmurray]

OK,
I'm thinking about ordering a Kuga,
it will definitely be a 2.0 diesel 4wd, in the grey metalic colour
it will definitely have the appearance pack, to give me privacy glass and the roof rails,
the standard equipment on the base model will be enough for me, but it's the exterior

so my question is?
is there any difference in the exterior between a zetec and a titanium? (apart from the chioce of alloys)
i know i can't spec the 19" alloys i like on the zetec, but they are an extra £700 on the titanium and i'm sure i can get them separately

i want it to look like this one i saw,

Why don't you have a play with the ford configurator?

[jamiesonmurray]

i did have a little look before, but i'm on a ship working out at sea and the internet connection is very poor and there's no way the ford configurator will load up!

but when doing my research i don't think there is any difference,
although when reading the brochure the titanium is said to have gloss black centre and outside grills with a chrome bar insert and surround to upper grill,

so is that all?
has anyone got any photos of their own Kuga zetec with appearance pack?
(low res photos please)

A Zetec and a Titanium look the same from the outside. The 19" wheels have a a big margin across them so you should be able to get a deal on them. The colour the one in the picture is Sterling Grey.

Thanks "rehab71"


i'm seriously considering buying one through "drive the deal"
as i'm offshore doing a 5 week on / off rotation i may need to put a order in soon and i'll get it just before i get home from my next trip a week or so before Christmas, assuming it's 12 weeks delivery like my Fiesta,
FYI i've been quoted £20,314 a 4wd 2.0 Diesel zetec (are the petrol ones worth considering?)
with appearance pack, metallic paint and parking sensors, which is apparently a discount of £4655

will the dealer offer me a 19" wheel upgrade or will i have to buy them separate?
i may just try and get some of Ebay,
and will i get the option of winter or M+S tyres?

I have the 1.6 petrol turbo, love it! It's not short of power and actually sounds OK! It's the zetec one in blue

The GF uses it to go to work which is about 4 miles away so didn't want any DPF issues. We'd previously had the Focus with the same engine so knew it'd be ok

zetec is quite low in the range, we added bluetooth (brilliant, reads out text messages including swear words!), privacy glass, reverse beepers, roof rails and 18 inch wheels. One of the packages adds electric windows in the rear too (feckin stupid not coming as standard).

Oh it's it's 2WD, might be wrong but I think it has to be autobox to get 4WD and it's about 3K more, we don't need 4WD

The radio is good but I bet the Sony one is better!

No interior pics at the mo but it's as the brochure really
