Summary
Another of Ford’s historic nameplates to be revived for the modern era, the Ford Capri is a mid-sized electric coupé-SUV that will soon be available to order in the UK.
The product of a collaboration with Volkswagen, the new Capri uses the same foundations as Volkswagen’s ID models. The Capri is essentially a Ford reworking of the Volkswagen ID.5 coupé-SUV, while it’s also closely related to the new Ford Explorer SUV (which is Ford’s version of the Volkswagen ID.4 SUV).
As with the larger Mustang Mach-E, Ford has received considerable publicity – much of it negative – by taking a historic sports car name and applying it to an electric SUV. But it’s also fair to say that using such well-known model names gives greater recognition than a random collection of letters and numbers that many other brands use.
Given the similarities in electric motors and batteries, it’s reasonable to expect that the Ford Capri will have broadly similar performance and driving range as equivalent versions of the Volkswagen ID.5, However, we’ll need to wait until the full details are available.
The new Ford Capri made its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Summer 2024, and the first customer cars are likely to be delivered by the end of the year. We’ll continue building this page as UK reviews are published and Euro NCAP puts the Capri through its safety tests.

“It might not be as sporty as the old Capri but look past the name and this is a promisingly practical family car.”

“I really wanted to love the new Capri, but I just can’t help feeling that it’s missing the style ‘wow’ factor that I was hoping for – even though it does look like it’s going to be a great family car.”
