The TF Ford Kuga (2013-2016) is the second-generation Kuga, a five-seat medium SUV that was renamed the Ford Escape from the 2016 facelift onward. Australian buyers got a Focus-based platform with EcoBoost turbo-petrol and 2.0L TDCi diesel engines across Ambiente, Trend and Titanium trims, with front-drive on the base 1.5/1.6 EcoBoost and full-time AWD on the higher variants. It's a well-equipped, 5-star ANCAP used buy; watch for the earlier 1.6 EcoBoost's known cooling/overheating concerns and prefer the later 1.5 EcoBoost or diesel, and confirm any remaining balance of the 3-year/100,000km factory warranty.

The TE Ford Kuga (2012-2013) was Ford Australia's belated introduction of the first-generation Kuga - already four years old in Europe by the time it launched here in February 2012. It sold in just two trims, Trend and Titanium, both sharing the same 147kW/320Nm 2.5-litre turbo-petrol five-cylinder engine (sourced from Volvo), a 5-speed automatic and full-time Intelligent AWD - there was no diesel or manual option in Australia for this generation. It's a 5-star ANCAP compact SUV with a short local sales run before the heavily updated TF (Mk2) Kuga arrived in 2013 with EcoBoost and diesel engines and an Ambiente entry grade.

The Titanium was the flagship of Ford Australia's short-lived first-generation (TE) Kuga range (Feb 2012 - 2013), adding a fixed glass panorama roof, leather trim with heated/power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers, auto headlights and rear parking sensors over the Trend. It shares the Trend's 147kW/320Nm 2.5-litre turbo-petrol five-cylinder engine, 5-speed automatic and full-time Intelligent AWD, and carries the same 5-star ANCAP rating.
