She reckons 4-6 months for the FHEV. Although Ford UK are showing stock they’re not releasing them for Motability orders. She also said the Lucid Red would be £250 extra so if I go for the Kuga I won’t be having that!. However the Vignale also includes Chrome Blue, Solar Silver, Frozen White and Agate Black as standard at no extra. My daughter likes the Chrome Blue so will have a look at that when I’m there. The Vignale is the same price as the ST Line X but you get the leather seats and other trim bits. Hopefully I can also try the X as I do like some of the different trim it has, but if the sunroof is still a problem with the seat lowered it would have to be the Vignale.
Good luck with the Kuga and the panoramic roof does eat into the roof height.
There are only a handful of FHEVs in the country but not for motability as you quoted, my dealer said there are more on their way apparently but whether they can let us have them is another matter and many on the way have lots of extras to bump up the AP.
