The new Ford Capri is now open for orders in the UK. Ford expects deliveries to begin in late October 2024 for its electric SUV coupe.
For now, the entry-level Ford Capri is the Select RWD version, with a 77kWh Extended Range battery. Prices start from £48,075.
The new Ford Capri Select RWD 77kWh Extended Range has a 286hp electric motor that allows for 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds. It has a fully charged range of 389 miles.
The higher-spec new Ford Capri Premium 77kWh Extended Range uses the same motor and battery. However, its bigger 20-inch wheels reduce the range slightly, to 369 miles. It costs from £52,175.
The new Ford Capri is also available in twin-motor, all-wheel-drive guise, a setup restricted to top-spec Premium trim. It produces 340hp and hits 62mph in 5.3 seconds.
Opting for the Ford Capri Premium AWD 77kWh Extended Range will set you back £56,175. It offers a range of 346 miles.
A more affordable Capri with a smaller 52kWh battery, called Select 55, follows later in 2024. This will cost from £42,075.
Ford Capri models and equipment
There are only two trim levels offered on the Ford Capri, called Select and Premium. As standard, the Capri Select has 19-inch alloy wheels, an electric driver’s seat with massage functionality, partial Sensico trim and a seven-speaker sound system with an integrated sound bar.
The Ford Capri Premium has larger 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic glass roof, 10-speaker premium B&O sound system, power tailgate and matrix LED headlamps.
Ford says an energy-saving heat pump is optional, as are 21-inch alloy wheels. There are six paint colours to choose from: Agate Black, Frozen White, Magnetic Grey, Vivid Yellow, Blue My Mind and Lucid Red.
Inside, all new Ford Capris have a 14-6-inch Sync Move touchscreen in the centre. This can slide back and forth so it’s easier to reach, and reveals a hidden stowage box behind. A wireless smartphone charger is standard, as are wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
The new Ford Capri measures 4,634mm long, 1,872mm wide and sits 1,626mm tall. It weighs from around 2.1 tonnes.
As you’d hope, this is a practical, family-sized car. The hatchback reveals a boot with a capacity of up to 572 litres, which extends to 1,510 litres with the rear seats folded.
The new Ford Capri also has a novel 17-litre ‘MegaConsole’ underneath the front seat armrest for in-cabin stowage. This consumer-friendly feature was inspired by the ‘MegaBox’ ultra-deep boot space inside the best-selling Ford Puma.
