Does Ford Kuga have Powershift?

Response:
Based on the search results, the Ford Kuga does have the PowerShift transmission available as an option. The PowerShift transmission is a dual-clutch transmission that offers near seamless drive and improved comfort levels, efficiency, and drive appeal. It is available in both manual and automatic versions. The automatic version of the Ford Kuga with PowerShift does not have paddle shifters, but it does have the ability to manually select gears using a small rocker switch on the selector.
Please note that there have been some reports of reliability issues with the PowerShift transmission in certain Ford models, but it seems that the Ford Kuga got the wet-clutch version of the dual-clutch transmission, which is not as troublesome as the dry-clutch PowerShift unit.
