If it was optioned with the 230 Kw 2.3-litre turbo petrol EcoBoost engine I'd buy it for the missus

The 2.0EB FWD model feels like it does 0-100 km/h in about 6-6.5. I think with AWD it's more like 7. So the 2.3 AWD should do it in 6 or under!

This should be a great motor for the next gen Mustang!

I would be surprised to see the 2.3 going into the Kuga, i think it would probably be easier to keep the 2L in there and use the same Focus tune in it like the US model.

I wouldn't my wife would kill herself with that much power.
Gotta say its a bit of an unfortunate name for a medium SUV that will be prodiminantly driven by women in their 30's and 40's. Does driving the ST version mean they're an especially enthusiastic couger

100% agree... Would be a gun and look awesome as well. The new Kuga would look great with a nice & subtle body kit. Some stripes and you're away!
Would love to see a Kuga ST photoshop.

Did you not get the 2.5 Turbo version over there?

Tempted to chop in my 4x4 for one of these with the 20v lump in it for the noise.
