During a press conference held today in Frankfurt, Ford ’s European CEO — John Fleming — said he expects the Ford Kuga to sell out when it hits the European market next June. “Experience over the last few years has said that if you get the design right, you get the basics right,†Fleming said.
Currently the segment is dominated by Toyota ’s RAV4. According to Automotive News, the RAV4 accounts for 22% of the market and sold 108,466 units last year — a 15.9% increase over 2005. Prices have not been released for the Kuga but are expected to be announced closer to the car’s launch. Ford has no plans to sell the Kuga in the U.S. market.
