The Ford Capri is an all-electric coupe SUV, built on the Volkswagen Group's MEB platform. A practical family car, it offers a large boot (572 litres) and a spacious cabin. It balances retro-inspired styling and high-spec standard technology.
Unlike the more rugged, boxy Ford Explorer, the Capri features a crossover coupe silhouette with signature quad-LED headlights that nod to the 1969 original. Inside, it stands out with the 14.6-inch Sync Move touchscreen that slides to reveal a lockable storage cubby, and a "MegaConsole" large enough to hold a laptop.
Mechanically, it's most similar to the Ford Explorer EV. Both vehicles are built on the same MEB platform, share identical wheelbases, and utilise the same battery and motor configurations. While the Explorer is marketed as the tough family SUV, the Capri acts as the sleeker, more aerodynamic alternative, trading a bit of rear headroom for a significantly larger boot and a slightly higher driving range.
Choose from Style as the entry trim, Select trim or Premium. Select gets you a decent level of standard kit with a rear-view camera, movable 14.6in touchscreen infotainment, lane keeping and lane departure aids, dual-zone climate control and intelligent cruise control.
Opt for Premium, and you’ll get a range of enhancements including a powered tailgate and panoramic sunroof, 20in alloys, a 10-speak premium sound system, Sensico upholstery and LED matrix headlights.

The ideal driver for the new electric Ford Capri is a modern family or professional seeking a stylish, practical, and tech-forward EV, rather than a direct replacement for the original 1970s sports coupe.
Cars similar to the new electric Ford Capri include other electric coupe-crossovers on the VW Group MEB platform, such as the Cupra Tavascan and Volkswagen ID.5. In terms of size and shape, the Polestar 2 is also a strong comparison.
There are lots of advantages to leasing. You’ll get a brand new car, and all the benefits that brings, every couple of years to get the latest advances in technology, design and features. It’s a regular monthly payment, that can include a maintenance package which covers the essential maintenance, servicing and MOTs during your lease, and when you reach the end of your contract you simply hand it back without any fuss.
The original Ford Capri was very popular in the 1970s and 80s, achieving sales of nearly 1.9 million units during its production run. It was known for its sporty looks and relative affordability. The new electric SUV model is very different in terms of its target audience and vehicle type. It commands a more premium price but is generally well-reviewed and praised for its stylish design. It also has a well-built interior and great Euro NCAP safety rating.
The new all-electric Ford Capri has an official WLTP range of up to 390 miles (627 km), depending on the specific model and battery configuration.
Using a high-power public DC rapid charger, all Ford Capri models can charge from 10% to 80% in less than 30 minutes. The Standard Range model with its 52 kWh usable battery is the quickest to top up, taking around 25 minutes at rates of up to 145 kW, though the newer LFP battery variant arriving in 2026 takes slightly longer at approximately 28 minutes.
Charging at home with a dedicated wallbox remains an overnight task, where a typical 7.4 kW home wallbox takes roughly 8.5 hours for the Standard Range model and between 11 and 12 hours for the Extended Range versions. However, if you have access to an 11 kW public or home 3-phase charger, these charging times can be significantly reduced by several hours.
