Yep Kuga is based on the Focus chassis. We have just had them delivered at work in various spec's. The Titanium ones are smart, a sort of cross between the Previous shape Focus/C Max inside and about the same sort of space. Not too certain on the seat trim, but they are a decent drive... but very thirsty for what they are!

Worth having a test drive, but also try a Tiguan, unless you are really set on a blue oval, also a very good car and similar in type.
