Overview
- From April 2026, new Kuga models with automatic transmission will ship BlueCruise‑ready, launching with a three‑month free trial.
- Fitment is standard on ST‑Line X and Active X and optional on Titanium and ST‑Line within the Driver Assistance package.
- After the trial, customers can choose a one‑time activation or monthly or annual subscriptions.
- The Level‑2 system controls steering, acceleration, braking and lane centering at highway speeds and in dense traffic, though the driver remains responsible and must keep eyes on the road.
- Operation is limited to mapped BlueZones that Ford says cover about 95% of highways in 16 European countries, and the update also adds a 700‑watt B&O audio upgrade plus SYNC 4 connectivity with streaming, games and Alexa.
