The legendary Ford Capri returns — not as a sports coupe, but as a sleek, all-electric crossover. We test the 77kWh Premium RWD to see if it lives up to its iconic name.   What is it? The Ford Capri is back — but not as you remember it. Once a symbol of 1970s flair and performance, the Capri has been reinvented as a fully electric crossover. Built on the Volkswagen-sourced MEB platform (shared with the Ford Explorer and VW ID.5), this new Capri trades muscle car nostalgia for modern electric mobility. Ford isn’t aiming for a retro retread — this is a reboot meant to bring the iconic name into the EV age. Styling Ford has nailed the first rule of reviving a classic: make it look good. The new Capri sports a sleek, sculpted front with a horizontal black strip connecting quad LED headlights — a subtle nod to the 1980s version. A fastback roofline and black A-pillars enhance the sporty profile, and bold colours like Vivid Yellow add a contemporary twist to its heritage palette. It’s a stylish blend of past and future, designed to stand out. Under the Bonnet Gone are the rumbling V6 engines. The electric Capri offers two battery choices: a 52kWh Standard Range and a 77kWh Extended Range. Our test car — the Premium RWD 77kWh version — claims up to 595km on paper, though real-world range hovers closer to 470km. Performance is smooth and composed, with precise steering and decent body control. But those looking for the lively, rear-driven dynamics of the original Capri may be left wanting — this is a calm, capable cruiser, not a sports coupe. What About Inside? The cabin is modern and functional but lacks a sense of occasion. Borrowed heavily from the Ford Explorer, the interior features a 14.6-inch sliding touchscreen, which dominates the dashboard but has no physical controls. There’s generous storage and space for five, though the sloping roof cuts into rear headroom. A 572-litre boot offers solid practicality, but some interior materials feel cheaper than rivals. And Safety? The Capri scores a full five stars in Euro NCAP testing and comes well-equipped with advanced driver assistance systems. Ford’s suite of safety tech is ever-vigilant, ready to intervene at the slightest sign of trouble — offering peace of mind for family-focused buyers. What...
