This ST Line is now the range-topper in South Africa, replacing the Titanium variant. It's priced at just under R550 000 and for your money you are getting the coveted ST badge on your car. But what does that actually mean?

The 2018 Kuga is a completely new car, with a completely new engine.

In this video we take a look at the upgrades that are included in the package, as well as take a look at the performance of the model and what you can expect from the 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol motor.

We also take a look at the boot space and a detailed look at the interior, including the SYNC3 infotainment system. Presenter Ciro De Siena also takes us through the car's rivals - or lack thereof.
