2016 Ford Kuga ST and Vignale

The Ford Kuga array might be broadened with the introduction of an efficiency ST version and a high-luxury Vignale version.

Roelant de Waard, vice-president, sales and advertising and marketing at Ford of Europe, was asked by AutoExpress if the company had any strategies to expand its ST and Vignale offerings with Kuga-based models. Although de Waard didn’t give direct answers, he hinted that both were opportunities.

All I can claim is that we have an effective range of sporting activity variations of our SUVs already in the US.”.

It ought to be noted that, today, Ford’s North American arm does not offer an ST variation of its Escape, Side or Traveler SUVs.

Rather, it offers a trim Sporting activity for the Side as well as Explorer, which includes the most effective engine available, a few styling tweaks and sport-tuned suspension.

De Waard was a bit more honest relating to the a possible Kuga Vignale, noting that the sub-brand is “a solution to sectors where we have very high take prices of Titanium and also Titanium X” which, currently, in Europe the 70 percent of Kuga sales are of top-line designs.

Vignale is a sub-brand that Ford of Europe remains in the procedure of establishing, which sits above and beyond the top-shelf Titanium trim line.

Each Vignale version includes glitzier designing that’s heavy on chrome and cleaned steel accents, while on the in there’s quilted natural leather as well as other high lesson finishings. 2 models have actually been confirmed for the Vignale treatment so far, the Mondeo and also S-Max people mover.

Ford Australia has yet to reveal any type of plans to introduce the high-end Vignale line down under.
