Watch the Ford Kuga Escape PHEV park itself!!!! 

Great to hear Bailey! Fingers crossed for a quick turn around.

PG C wow! So very kind of you to say!

Cheers for that Bryan. 👍🏻

Very kind of you to say 🙏🏼

@@CambsEV is the PHEV to way to go? As I've always purchased diesel and petrol cars and as times and technologies change is seems to be the next step

@@fanoscharalambous2098 I would say yes but it could end up costing more to run if you don't do the leg work and investigate whether it's a PHEV, BEV or ICE that better fits your lifestyle. For example, a sales rep who does 20k a year would not suit a PHEV in my view. Better off with a BEV.

@@CambsEV thanks, we only use the car as a run around, we be lucky to do 5k or 6k a year

Well if you need that amount of space, sounds perfect.

Cheers mate! Very kind of you to say. Not my greatest work to date is my thought......but practice makes perfect!

Great news! What colour did you choose?

Cambs EV Bought the lucid red, same color/model used for the commercial reel 😎👍🏻 Basically I got the one used in the showroom with 5000 kms in the counter, 25% off price from original

@@leoric18ify Hey, I've only just seen this post. That's great news! 👏🏻

There is 'grade assist' on my car, what model do you have?

@@CambsEV i have the Kuga 2020 Vignale. The settings do have a grade assist option and there is an icon on the display. But i dont know how to activate the assist. Or does the kuga automatically select grade assist by sensors?

That's good to hear about the luggage cover! How very odd about the sat nav....can't say I have noticed that, will have to keep an eye out for it. On the album art, I've managed to get it to display via USB. These are tracks I transferred from iTunes. It's not something I use, I was testing for one of the group members, maybe there is a setting in SYNC3? You get the option to have album art of not within CarPlay.

Thats the 3pin charger that came with the car mate.

Glad you like it!

Well that's very nice of you to say! I can't say I have noticed, not having driven in the car in the dark yet! When I do, I'll let you know! Planning to soon as I want to get some further night shoots, just not from my driveway this time!

When did you place your order for September delivery, I’m looking to place order on Monday

I placed my order in June when ford opened the production line again, I was estimated September but today I received a call saying the car is made and is ready to be shipped to the UK from Belgium and will arrive by the end of July.

I have had mine a few days now and I took mine out at around midnight just to test the lights. (It is amazing how light it says so late at this time of year). I am happy to report that the LED lights are absolutely brilliant, not just in intensity, but they are also brilliant white, which helps to show the road markings very well. I am very happy with them. They are the best lights I have ever had; better than my old Focus RS HID's even!

@@Titomuse do they have active shadowing? (I.e. Stay on high Beam but not in the face of oncoming traffic)

theexmann thanks for the comment! No, there is lighting in the foot wells as well as around the USB port too.

It’s a optional extra in the driver pack £1000 I believe when looking on the ford site

@@gsivec it's on autos St line 2021. Chris you have a famous name are you the powerlifter guy? If so hi mate love you

Thank you! Yes, mine does but it depends on the variant you choose or the packs you add.

Yes, something to do with a battery connector position I believe.......affecting a beach it seems.

Cambs EV thanks for the confirmation.

Kieran Fee sure, bear with me. I’ll sort that!

oh dear!

Hi there! We got ours from Amazon. The Ford specific one appears to be out of stock at the moment. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PW843BZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@CambsEV Hi Colin, Thanks ever so much.

Hi Jason, yes I use Apple CarPlay. I've also recently noticed a feature within Apple CarPlay that allows you control certain aspects via Sync 3.....I'll be doing a post on that this morning within the Ford Kuga PHEV Group on Facebook, Twitter and Insta.

I think you can turn off the charge plate within Sync 3 settings.....will take a look for you.

@@CambsEV Thanks Colin

whats in the first edition st line X? I cant seem to get a straight answer anywhere. Does it come with a reversing cam?

@@Carlord01 Yes it has all the optional extras. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Traffic Sign Recognition (incl.

@@RiggersUK thats one hell of a pack. I have a focus vignale just now. but seems like its better to get the first edition (if there are any left) as that has it all, plus the pano roof (which the vignale doesnt have)

Stefan P since I got the car and over the 1,400 miles I’ve done, I have averaged 147mpg according to the app.

Cambs EV but have you tested the average consumption in highway conditions?

@@andrei-stefanpaduretu9853 Yes, within one of my videos. I did a motorway run of about 30 miles on engine power. Pretty sure I covered the MPG following that run.

Patrick Cullen no, I believe it was only affecting undelivered vehicles or recently produced. I’ve not had a recall notice as yet.

Cambs EV Thanks for the reply, getting mine next week hopefully , dealership hasn’t heard anything about mine as of yet

Could be just a batch of cars.

Hi there, yes I have. I was contacted mid July to again tell me not to charge my car. I had a email from Ford this week saying that a fix may take months!

@@colinhennessy2844 how do you feel about this, I've been notified that my order is on hold or maybe cancelled

Hi there! No more so than any I have previously experienced!

Are you referring to the parking assistance button?

Wayne Bruton sure the Ford Kuga PHEV battery has 8 years, 100,000 mile warranty on it 🙂

@@CambsEV thanks. A million for the reply I came. Across your channel last week

@@waynebruton7777 No worries. Hope you like it, more to come on the Kuga and other models soon,

Sean McKlo I would have to agree although the equivalent from Audi is £55k with less range. As an owner I’m happy to overlook that issue in order to take advantage of the many other advantages the car offers or needs it meets for me. Take your point though.

No-one Man. Cheers for the comment. Yes, the RAV will be a big competitor for the Kuga. Promises a lot, let’s hope it delivers.
