Sinead McAlary, Ford Australia :

"Our position hasn’t changed. At this point we have no plans to bring Kuga to Australia. We’re constantly looking at these things, but unfortunately Kuga has been an issue for us. Partly because it’s been so popular in Europe, so that has been a problem trying to get any to bring to Australia, but also we currently offer the Escape in Australia and that would be a natural competitor for it, so while we offer Escape it doesn’t make much sense to bring Kuga. We’ll just keep with the one model. There are no plans to significantly change that at this point."

The only model offered in Australia is the Ford Escape XLT, having a 2.3 L petrol engine and generating 146 horse power, automatic transmission and AWD.
