The New Ford Capri Select is here. In an era where electric vehicles (EVs) dominate headlines, this long awaited SUV emerges as a masterclass in balancing nostalgia with next-gen innovation.
Reviving a nameplate that once defined European sporty coupes, Ford reimagines the Capri as a mid-size electric SUV designed to outshine rivals. But why choose the Capri Select?
It is nothing short of an EV statement! Built on Volkswagen’s MEB platform and infused with Ford’s performance DNA, it offers a best-in-class range (372 miles WLTP), a carbon-neutral production process, and tech features like BlueCruise 1.2 hands-free driving.
Combine that with Ford’s 90+ years of European manufacturing expertise and partnerships with industry leaders for battery recycling, and you have a vehicle that’s as responsible as it is thrilling.
For eco-conscious families, tech enthusiasts, or driving purists, the Capri Select bridges the gap between heritage and hyper-modernity. Let’s explore why it’s poised to dominate this market...
2025 will see Ford revive the Capri name for its Model E electric division, targeting buyers who crave heritage but refuse to compromise on sustainability.

The foundation is the MEB J1E-VA platform, modified by Ford engineers for dynamic handling. Key innovations:
Dual-Motor AWD System: Delivers 335 hp and 0–60 mph in 5.1 seconds (tested at Ford’s Lommel Proving Ground).
Brembo Flexira Calipers: Paired with BWI Group’s MagneRide Damping for precision braking and adaptive ride quality.
GKN Automotive eAxle: Enables torque vectoring, mimicking the agility of the original Capri.
Powered by LG Chem NMC811 batteries (77 kWh or 100 kWh), the Capri Select achieves up to 372 miles WLTP. With a 150 kW DC charger, it recovers 10–80% in 29 minutes, sufficient for most road trips.
Ford’s Cologne plant operates on 100% renewable energy (sourced from RWE), with a closed-loop water system saving 12 million litres annually. The interior uses Nordic Swan Ecolabel-certified materials, including 20% recycled plastics from ocean waste.
Partnering with Redwood Materials, Ford ensures 95% battery material recovery. This aligns with the EU Battery Regulation 2023, which mandates 70% recycling efficiency by 2030.
Per Ford’s 2023 Sustainability Report, the Capri Select emits 35 tonnes of CO2-eq over its lifecycle - 40% less than the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (58 tonnes).
SYNC 4A Infotainment: Co-developed with Siemens, featuring AI-driven voice recognition and Spotify/Apple Music integration.
Fender Premium Audio: 12-speaker system tuned for immersive sound, a nod to the Capri’s 1970s “rock ‘n’ roll” image.
Ford BlueCruise 1.2: Offers hands-free driving on 370,000+ miles of European motorways, rivalling GM’s Super Cruise.
The Capri Select is a blueprint for Ford’s post-ICE identity. By merging the MEB platform’s scalability with Ford’s performance heritage, the brand is a leader in accessible electrification.
Why It Beats Competitors:
Heritage + Innovation: Few EVs offer the Capri’s emotional resonance.
Sustainability Credentials: Carbon-neutral production and Redwood Materials partnership set benchmarks.
Driver-Centric Tech: BlueCruise 1.2 and MagneRide elevate everyday usability.
