NEW FORD CAPRI BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT

EV Channels Review

The Ford Capri EV reimagines the iconic nameplate as a fully electric SUV, built on the robust MEB platform shared with the Ford Explorer. While the name is controversial, the vehicle itself is praised for its well-equipped nature, good looks, and impressive range, especially the extended range variants. The reviewer highlights the spacious cabin, large boot, and responsive performance, noting a real-world motorway range of around 280 miles. The Premium trim, tested here, offers a host of features including panoramic sunroof, matrix lights, and advanced safety systems, justifying its higher price point over the Select trim. Despite some criticism regarding the lack of soft-touch materials in the rear and the absence of physical climate controls, the reviewer concludes that the electric Capri is a compelling and enjoyable SUV, particularly for families, offering a dynamic driving experience that belies its size and weight.
