The 2025 Ford Capri EV achieves up to 330 miles (WLTP) under ideal conditions. Real-world testing by What Car? and Auto Express suggests 280–300 miles in mixed driving, depending on weather, terrain, and use of features like Ford’s MagneRide suspension or the B&O Unleashed audio system. The Extended Range AWD model sacrifices ~10% range for performance but still outperforms the Kia EV6 GT-Line.
Using a 270 kW DC fast charger (e.g., IONITY network):
10–80% charge: 18 minutes (91 kWh Extended Range model).
10–100% charge: ~32 minutes.
Home charging via the Ford Connected Wallbox Pro (11 kW) takes 8–9 hours for a full charge. The Capri supports Plug & Charge at compatible stations for seamless billing.
Yes! The Extended Range AWD model includes Ford Pro Power Onboard, offering:
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L): Power devices (up to 3.6 kW) via the charge port or cabin outlets.
Vehicle-to-Home (V2H): Pair with the Wallbox Quasar to supply emergency home power (UK/EU only).
Capri Select: Base model with 17-inch alloys, SYNC 5, and Co-Pilot360 2.0.
Capri Premium: Adds sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch wheels, and Ford Performance seats.
While not a dedicated off-roader, the AWD GT model features Rivian-derived traction control (licensed tech) and five drive modes, including Slippery and Trail. Ground clearance is 7.9 inches—comparable to the Hyundai Ioniq 5—but it’s best suited for light gravel or snow, not rock crawling.
UK: Eligible for the Plug-in Car Grant (£1,500 off sub-£50k EVs).
