It really is worth checking very carefully, certainly don’t take the word of the salesman. We have had two Ford Kuga’s, when the new Kuga came out we took my wheelchair to check and it just does not fit. The space between the back seat and the sloping back window is just too short. Had to look for a different vehicle.
Oh dear. The Kuga is on our shortlist as well! So I now have a feeling that the Q3, XC40 and Kuga will all get eliminated due to the boot being too small for my wife’s wheelchair. I think if the next generation X1 was going to be out early next year we would have heard by now. I can see us getting yet another Tiguan by default as it is the only SUV that ticks all the boxes, other than desirability. At least we should be able to get the sprightly 190PS 4WD 2.0TSi Auto for a change, in ultra well equipped Elegance trim. Leather is about the only thing missing that we would like, but that’s not a show stopper in the same way that heated seats would be. Of course, I still haven’t ruled out that if we can shoehorn ourselves in and out of a 3 Series Touring, after years of SUV’s, then that ticks all boxes, including desirability! Roll on Q1 when we can see what’s available and go and look at them in the metal.
