With its brand-new electric powertrain, the Ford Capri boasts an impressive range of up to 390 miles on a single charge, according to WLTP estimates, while also delivering sporty performance and fuel-efficient handling.

Ford whetted anticipation for its newest electric vehicle by teasing it multiple times prior to its official unveiling, hinting at the revival of a “legend”.

Following the recent controversy surrounding Ford’s social media post, which appeared to depict someone attempting to install an electric vehicle (EV) charger in the gas cap of a Capri 2.8 Injection, there has been ongoing speculation about the possibility that this could be the new Capri after all? On the windscreen, the enigmatic phrase “The legend rekindled” was inscribed alongside the current date: July 10, 2024.

Ford has officially launched the Capri EV, its second fully electric vehicle, built upon Volkswagen’s modular electric drive matrix (MEB) architecture.

Ford’s Capri EV follows the company’s pioneering electric Explorer, which began production last month at its Cologne EV facility in Germany. Ford collaborated with Volkswagen in 2020 to leverage the latter’s platform and accelerate the development of its electric vehicle strategy across Europe.

Ford’s new all-electric sports crossover finally gets its debut, marking a milestone 38 years since the iconic gas-powered Capri was discontinued from the market.

Meet the reinvented Ford Capri: an electric vehicle that’s pushing the boundaries of innovation and sustainability.

Ford’s latest “C.A.P.R.I.” initiative seamlessly converges the past with innovative future design, embodying a rebellious spirit while incorporating clever technological advancements.

The soulful electric sports activity coupe SUV is designed with the whole family in mind. It’s poised to “inject some oxygen into the world of EVs,” aligning with Ford’s vision.

The revived Ford Capri has returned as an all-electric vehicle, boasting a sleek design and impressive performance capabilities.

The reborn Capri EV boasts a range of up to 390 miles (627 km), according to the WLTP driving standard. Equipped with a potent 335-horsepower all-wheel-drive powertrain, identical to that employed by VW’s GTI models, this electric SUV coupe can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.3 seconds.

The repair can be completed within a remarkably short timeframe of just 26 minutes, with costs ranging from 10% to 80% of the total cost. The Capri EV boasts ample storage space, accommodating an entire household with its substantial 527-litre cargo area, further enhanced by a practical foldable boot floor.

The iconic Ford Capri gets a modern twist with its all-electric iteration!

“Ford describes the newly launched all-electric Capri as a vision of what this iconic sports car would be today if it had continued production.”

A legend reborn

Not initially designed to conquer European roads, the Capri was essentially Ford’s response to the Mustang’s popularity in Europe. Following its 1969 launch, the Capri proved an instant sensation, with sales exceeding 400,000 units within its initial two-year period.

The Hyundai Kona’s exterior design is informed by the iconic shape of its grille, accompanied by its distinctive 4-headlamp arrangement, connected by a sleek black horizontal grille.

Ford’s New Capri EV?

The electric Capri boasts an exceptionally sleek design, featuring a streamlined coupe-inspired silhouette accentuated by its polished roofline. The black window pillars had been introduced to lend the vehicle a sporty aura. Ford incorporated distinct elements, such as a four-piece taillight design and a rear graphics scheme that stretches across the entire back end.

Inside, the five-seat Puma features a thoughtful, minimalist design that seamlessly integrates Ford’s latest technology and connectivity innovations.

Ford’s Capri revival takes an electric turn as a retro-inspired concept.

Within its confines lies a customizable 14.6-inch infotainment display screen, seamlessly integrating with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for streamlined connectivity. The interior also boasts a wraparound cockpit design and ergonomically crafted sports seats that provide a tailored driving experience.

Ford’s new electric vehicle is available in two trims: the Capri and the Capri Premium. The rear-wheel-drive Capri Electric, equipped with a substantial 77-kilowatt-hour battery pack, boasts an impressive estimated range of up to 390 miles on the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) cycle, while its electric motor produces 282 horsepower.

While cruising in electric mode, the Capri Premium, equipped with an impressive 79 kWh battery and intelligent all-wheel-drive powertrain, boasts an estimated range of up to 368 miles (592 kilometers). Boasting a potent output of up to 335 horsepower, this all-wheel-drive variant can sprint from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 5.3 seconds.

Ford equipped its vehicles with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance technologies, comprising 12 ultrasonic sensors, five cameras, and three radar units, thereby enabling features such as driver alerts and evasive steering intervention.

The sleek and sporty Scandinavian design aesthetic of a Polestar vehicle is evident in this model’s profile when viewed from certain angles.

Ford’s new electric coupe SUV is set to roll off the production line at its Cologne EV plant, joining the Explorer EV in a significant expansion of the company’s electrified offerings.

The revival of a classic: Ford’s new electric Capri.

While Ford hasn’t yet disclosed pricing details, industry insiders predict that the new electric vehicle will carry a higher price tag than its battery-powered Explorer counterpart, with estimates suggesting it will start around $50,000 (approximately €47,000) when it debuts in European markets.
