The Ford Kuga 1.6 EcoBoost demonstrates varied fuel consumption figures based on trim, drivetrain, and real-world driving conditions. Official combined fuel consumption for the 2013-2017 Ford Kuga 1.6 EcoBoost (150 hp, manual) falls generally between 6.6–10.2 L/100km (or about 28.3–35.6 mpg), depending on whether the driving is urban, extra-urban, or combined[1][2]. In city driving, urban consumption can be as high as 14.1 L/100km (16.7 mpg US), while extra-urban (highway) conditions yield as low as 5.6 L/100km (42 mpg US)[1].

However, real-world fuel economy is often less than official figures.

In summary:
- Official combined rating (2WD): 6.6–7.7 L/100km (28.3–35.6 mpg)
- Urban (city): up to 14.1 L/100km (16.7 mpg US)

- Real-world average: 11 L/100km (25.6 mpg)
Note that vehicle condition, tire pressure, load, driving style, and weather can all significantly impact actual fuel consumption.
