In its second full sales month, demand
remained strong for the all-new Ford Kuga, selling nearly 10,000
wholesale units for the second month in a row. As an SUV packed with
clever technology, the Kuga is one of three high-quality, fuel-efficient
SUVs Ford launched in China in the first quarter of 2013. With Kuga,
EcoSport, Edge and Explorer all available in China today, Ford now
competes in every segment of the country’s growing SUV market. |
