Today, there are humors that Ford is planning to develop a three-door coupe version of Kuga. However, many contest that a Kuga coupe may not be as functional during these times.

The first Ford Kuga was labeled as a sports-activity vehicle. Doing a coupe version would take off the rear doors to make it more sleek. However, removing the rear doors would take out a lot of its utility feature, therefore decreasing its market and value.

If Kuga Coupe goes to production, it would carry the similar features and powertrain of the original Kuga. According to AutoExpress, it would also get a Powershift twin-clutch gearbox. This would be the first time an advanced gearbox would be added to the Kuga.

Once production is on the way, Europe would get the standard 1.6L turbo engine and a 1.6L turbo diesel along with the 2.0L engine. The two petrol engines wouldn’t go higher than 197hp.
The Kuga is expected to arrive in the United States later in 2010. Therefore, if Ford is really brewing a Kuga Coupe, the U.S. and Europe would be the main targets in sales. However, it is predicted that the Kuga Coupe won’t cause a riot until 2011.
