The Legendary Comeback: The Ford Capri in an Electric Suit
A Nostalgic Nod
Ford has revived the iconic Capri, this time as an electric SUV-coupé. While the name rings a bell, this modern version has little in common with its predecessor from the 70s, except for a touch of nostalgia.
Design: Modern with a Classic Touch
The new Capri's look evokes memories of the Polestar 2, with a sleek and sporty silhouette. It is 16 centimeters longer than the Ford Explorer, with a lower roofline, creating an elegant appearance. Despite the modern look, we miss the classic Ford design elements.
Space and Comfort
With a 102-liter increase in cargo space, the new Capri offers more practical convenience than its predecessor. The interior, almost identical to that of the Explorer, provides a comfortable and modern driving experience. The only reminder of the old Capri is a specially designed steering wheel.
Technical Specifications
The Capri comes in various versions, from the Standard Range RWD with a 52 kWh battery to the powerful Extended Range AWD with a 77 kWh battery. The latter offers an impressive range of 627 kilometers and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds.
Price and Availability
Prices range from €47,450 to €67,150, placing the Capri in the higher segment. The car is produced in Cologne and will be available from spring 2025.
Conclusion
The new Ford Capri combines modern electric technology with a touch of nostalgia. Although the link to the original is tenuous, this SUV-coupé offers an exciting view of Ford's future. A perfect choice for those seeking style, performance, and innovation in one package
