In particular, the seats combine ebony colored Nappa leather with a more heavily grained 'Bond' leather. The two different leathers are distinguished from each other by the use of a contrasting light grey piping. For the Paris show vehicle, all prominent interior trim parts such as the centre console cladding, centre stack surfaces and the boomerang-shaped interior door-pull handles are finished in a high-gloss 'Piano White' finish.

As for the exterior enhancements, the styling kit consists of body coloured wheel arch extensions, lower rocker claddings, a larger rear spoiler, a new grille and restyled bumpers which have been extended some 50 millimetres lower than the original design. The kit is complemented by new 20-inch alloy wheels fitted with 255/35 ZR 20 tires. All of the items featured on the Kuga Paris show vehicle will be made available to customers as production items in the first half of 2009.
