FORD CAPRI - IS THIS REALLY THE CAR YOU ALWAYS PROMISED YOURSELF?

EV Channels Review

The Ford Capri electric is a perplexing proposition, failing to live up to its iconic namesake's legacy. While it boasts practicality with a spacious interior and boot, its design is deemed bland and uninspired, lacking any significant nod to the original. The interior, though featuring a nice dashboard and a movable screen, is severely hampered by the use of Volkswagen's M EV platform switchgear, which the reviewer finds unintuitive and a major step back from Ford's own ergonomic strengths. Performance is adequate, with the dual-motor version offering brisk acceleration, but it lacks the "soul of a sports car" promised in marketing. The ride is firm, and the steering lacks engagement. Critically, the car is deemed overpriced, especially the top-spec dual-motor model, and suffers from a lack of identity in a segment crowded with superior alternatives, including Ford's own Mustang Mach-E. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes it's a "faceless piece of mediocrity" and a missed opportunity for Ford.
