The 2025 Ford Capri marks the revival of an iconic nameplate, reimagined as a fully electric compact crossover SUV tailored for the European market. Built on the Volkswagen Group's MEB platform, it shares its underpinnings with models like the Ford Explorer EV and Volkswagen ID.5.
Design and Dimensions: The Capri features a coupe-like silhouette, measuring approximately 182.4 inches in length, 73.7 inches in width, and 64 inches in height, with a wheelbase of 109 inches. Its design incorporates modern elements while paying homage to its heritage, including quad LED headlights reminiscent of the 1980s model.
Performance and Range: The base rear-wheel-drive model is equipped with a single electric motor delivering 282 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0 to 62 mph in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 119 mph. It houses a 77 kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a WLTP range of up to 390 miles. An all-wheel-drive variant with dual motors provides 335 horsepower and 501 lb-ft of torque, reducing the 0 to 62 mph time to 5.3 seconds. This version includes a 79 kWh battery, supporting a range of approximately 368 miles.
Interior and Features: Inside, the Capri boasts a minimalist design with a 5-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15-inch adjustable Sync Move touchscreen. It utilizes sustainable materials, including leather-free "Sensical" upholstery. Notable interior features include a lockable storage compartment behind the touchscreen, wireless charging, and a spacious 17-liter MegaConsole under the front center armrest.
Market Position and Reception: Ford aims to blend nostalgia with modern electric vehicle technology in the new Capri. However, reactions have been mixed, with some enthusiasts expressing disappointment over the shift from the original coupe design to a crossover SUV format.
