The Vignale is the top trim on the popular compact SUV, and was released in 2017 as part of the Kuga’s Mk2 trim range.

The Vignale comes with a choice of 1.5 and 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, along with front and four-wheel drive. The Ford Kuga Vignale also sits high on the ground thanks to its 19-inch alloy wheels.

Many of the Vignale’s leading features are in the interior, where quilted leather seats and a leather-wrapped dashboard add to an exceptional design.

Interior

Step into the cabin of a Ford Kuga Vignale and you’ll immediately enjoy an upmarket and premium interior. Across the dashboard and seats, you’ll find quilted leather. The multi-functional steering wheel also comes with extra leather trimming for a luxurious feel.

In the driving seat, you’ll find a ten-way adjustable and heated leather seat. The passenger seat is also heated leather and is four-way adjustable, helping occupants stay comfortable on long drives. The Vignale also has Active Noise Cancellation, ensuring the cabin is hushed and peaceful. The Kuga Vignale offers ample leg, knee and headroom across all five seats. These rear seats can also be slid backwards, and the rear windows are tinted.

Keeping the cabin tidy is easy thanks to the cubbies and compartments dotted around the cabin. In the front, you’ll find a good-sized glovebox and a smartphone-sized compartment in the centre console. The Vignale trim also comes with a smartphone charging pad, helping you stay connected on the go. There is also a deep-lidded container between the front seats, which is suitable for some handheld accessories. Deep door bins also come with moulded inlays to help prevent items from rattling.

Technology

The Vignale has an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system which comes with Ford’s SYNC3 infotainment system.

Among the Ford Kuga Vignale’s smart technology features, you will find a heated windscreen, rain-sensing wipers, automatically activating LED headlights and electrically adjusted door mirrors.

Inside the cabin, ambient lighting helps keep the interior well-lit. While you drive, you will also have an auto-dimming rear-view mirror which makes driving in sunny conditions easier.
