What are the benefits of using turbocharged engines in Ford Kuga cars?

I am considering buying a Ford Kuga and noticed that it has a turbocharged engine. I have never owned a car with this type of engine before and I am wondering what the advantages are. Will it affect the car's performance or fuel efficiency?

Turbocharged engines provide increased power and torque, making the car more responsive and fun to drive.

Turbocharged engines are also more fuel efficient, as they can achieve similar power outputs with a smaller engine compared to naturally aspirated engines.
