The Kugas that will be used at the festival feature Ford's 2.0-litre TDCi 140hp diesel engine and come equipped with the SYNC in-car connectivity feature that will allow passengers to stream Miles Davis or Herbie Hancock (or indeed Metallica and One Direction) from their smartphones or iPods.
"The Ford Kugas are an excellent addition to our team," said Bernard Casey, Chairman of the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival organising committee. "And they will be a great help with the inevitable multitude of 'ferrying and fetching' tasks that are part and parcel of a huge operation like our Festival".
"Given our strong Cork roots, we are only too happy to help Bernard and his team by providing some models of our new Kuga... for moving people or instruments, the Kuga will get the job done without any fuss and with high tech touches like the hands-free tailgate, loading and unloading can never be a problem," commented Eddie Murphy, Chairman and Managing Director of Ford Ireland.
