Ford has revived the iconic Capri, this time as a fully electric coupe crossover. This exciting addition to Ford’s EV lineup reimagines the classic sports coupe for a new generation, offering families a blend of practicality and sporty performance.
The all-new Capri draws inspiration from its predecessor’s design, with familiar cues like the headlight style and body shape. But under the hood (or lack thereof) lies cutting-edge technology. Built on Volkswagen’s MEB electric car platform, the Capri offers impressive range and power.
With a 77 kWh battery, the Capri boasts a WLTP range of over 620 kilometers, perfect for long road trips. The rear-wheel drive Capri packs a punch, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds, with a top speed of 180 km/h.
Charging takes place with 11 kW at AC charging points and up to 135 kW at DC charging points – in the latter case, the battery is recharged from 10 to 80 per cent in around 28 minutes.
The all-electric Capri has been designed to be rebellious to its core, with a colour palette to match and the swagger you would expect from an original Capri of old. The new EV design contains design cues inspired by its predecessor, from the style of the headlights, through to the body shape and rear appearance.
Beyond the design, this EV aims to bring the heritage of the Capri into the future with an array of technologies that will enhance the customer experience. Intelligent technologies such as automated lane changes and watching out for cyclists when opening doors mean the Capri can help keep you safe on the open road and within the city. Meanwhile a massaging driver’s seat comes as standard along with a sliding touch screen, making the all-electric Ford Capri an EV designed to celebrate the past while reinventing the future.
Ford has partnered with football legend Eric Cantona to champion the new Capri. Cantona’s iconic personality perfectly embodies the innovative spirit of the car, a “remarkable reinterpretation of the classic” as he puts it.
With the all-electric Capri, Ford is offering families a chance to embrace electric mobility without sacrificing the thrill and heritage of a legendary sports car. This is a car designed to celebrate the past while paving the way for a sustainable future.
