Ford‘s two-wheel drive Kuga will have emissions below the magic 161g/km capital allowance tax marker that comes into force from April.

CO2 falls 10g/km over the 4WD car to 159 while there’s a hefty £1865 drop in P11D to £18,595. These reductions equate to a two-band drop in BIK groups. Economy rises by 2.2mpg to 46.3mpg, too.

Sales start early next year
