New Ford Capri

Heritage and Innovation Excellence


The model is synonymous with the 1970s automotive rebellion and returns in 2025 as a fully electric SUV - a strategic fusion of nostalgia and cutting-edge engineering. Developed at Ford’s Cologne Electric Vehicle Center in Germany, this rebirth leverages Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB) platform, shared with the Audi Q4 e-tron and Skoda Enyaq.

Historical Context & Design Philosophy


The Legacy of the Ford Capri (1969–1986)

The original Ford Capri, conceived by Philip T. Clark (designer of the Ford Mustang), debuted in 1969 as Europe’s answer to the pony car.

Key milestones:

  • Mk I (1969–1974): Sold 1.2 million units, featuring a 2.0L Cologne V6 engine.
  • Mk III (1978–1986): TV shows like The Professionals made it popular by introducing the iconic “Laser” trim with RS alloy wheels. 

Modern Reinterpretation: Blending Retro and Futurism

Led by Murat Gueler, Ford of Europe’s Design Director, the 2025 Capri SUV incorporates:

  • Fastback Silhouette: A nod to the Mk III’s roofline, optimised for aerodynamics (Cd 0.28).
  • Tri-Bar LED Lighting: Inspired by the Ford Mustang Mach-E, with Active Air Shutters to reduce drag.
  • Heritage Badging: Laser-etched “Capri” logos and optional Black Pack trim mirroring the 1980s 2.8 Injection Special.

Expert Quote: “The Capri isn’t just a retro exercise - it’s a bridge to Ford’s electric future.”
- Martin Sander, Ford of Europe’s General Manager for Electric Vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

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).
    However, local programs should always be confirmed as policies evolve.

Ford BlueCruise 1.4 is a Level 2+ system offering:

  • Hands-free motorway driving on mapped roads (vs. Tesla’s broader Autopilot coverage).

  • Lane Change Assist: Semi-automatic with driver confirmation (Tesla’s FSD is fully automatic).

  • Driver Monitoring: Uses IR cameras (Tesla relies on steering wheel sensors).
    Top Gear rated BlueCruise as “more cautious but equally competent” in 2024 testing.

Ford offers:

  • Paint: Heritage colours like Frozen White (Mk I tribute) and Electric Blue.

  • Wheels: 19-inch to 21-inch designs, including Retro Turbine alloys.

  • Interior: 3D-printed trim with bespoke patterns (via Ford Custom Shop).

  • Performance Packs: GT+ Pack (Stuttgart-tuned suspension) and Range Booster (aerodynamic mods).
