First Ford Kuga Rolls Off Production Line

Just about a week before the Ford Kuga makes its public debut in Geneva, and the first model rolled off from the production line at Ford’s Saarlouis plant in Germany. The company plans to build around 45,000 examples of its new compact SUV/Crossover in Saarlouis this year which is equivalent to about 10 per cent of the plant's annual production volume. With the introduction of the Kuga, Saarlouis now manufactures for the first time three different model series at the same time – Focus, C-MAX and Kuga. Sales of the Kuga will begin across Europe in the summer. -More pics after the jump
