Ford Kuga2025

• Excellent fuel economy if you charge regularly; petrol-only driving negates PHEV advantage and costs more than standard hybrid.
• Strong price growth (+13.9% year-on-year) suggests solid demand, but new PHEV market remains volatile — negotiate hard on 2025 stock.
• Battery capacity drops 2–5% in year one, then stabilises; cold weather cuts electric range 20–30%, and charging ports corrode in damp Irish climate — inspect connector condition and ask for service history of any charging issues.
• Before buying, request full charging history and confirm battery health report from Ford dealer; verify thermal management performance in recent cold spells.
• NI import saves €3,801 before VRT applies on top — adds significant cost and negates most saving for Irish registration.
