Compare the Ford Kuga vs Volvo XC60
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Ford Kuga and the Volvo XC60 take different approaches to family transport. On country lanes, the Kuga inspires confidence with minimal body lean and a surprising amount of steering feel, whereas the XC60’s steering does not deliver much in the way of feel or feedback. Inside, the XC60 delivers top-notch material quality, whereas the Kuga has a few too many scratchy plastics below the dashboard and around the centre console. In both cars, screen-based climate controls can be fiddly to use on the move. In the back, tall adults brush the roof in a Kuga fitted with the panoramic sunroof, but have more than enough space without brushing the ceiling in an XC60 with the panoramic glass sunroof. For practical tasks, the Kuga has a bigger boot, while the XC60 can tow more.
