Compare the Ford Kuga vs Lexus LBX
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Ford Kuga is longer and more powerful than the Lexus LBX, and it can tow more. It also provides a bigger boot and more room with the back seats folded. Adults in the back of the Kuga will find loads of room for their feet, knees and shoulders, whereas rear-seat passengers in the LBX do not get much headroom or legroom. The Kuga’s rear doors open wide, making it easy to load smaller children into their seats, while the rear doors on the LBX are not particularly wide and a bulky child seat pushes against those in front. On country roads, the Kuga exhibits minimal body lean, whereas there is quite a lot of body lean in the bends in the LBX. Once you reach a cruise, however, both cars are quiet.
