The model
Read full New Ford Capri reviewIf you can get past the name, the new Ford Capri presents some real positives. It’s great to drive, first and foremost, plus you get an impressive range from the 77kWh version and lots of standard kit. However, there are better, more well-rounded alternatives available for less money. For example, there’s the Kia EV6, which costs less and goes even further on a charge.
The trim
See full equipmentEntry-level Select is the version that we’d go for because it keeps the cost down and gives you loads of standard kit. Impressively, that list includes everything from heated massage seats to dual-zone air conditioning and adaptive cruise control.
The engine
See full engine specsSet to join the range later, the entry-level model gets a 53kWh battery and a 168bhp electric motor. With an official 0-62mph sprint of 8.7sec, it should be plenty fast enough, but we’re yet to give it a go. Arguably more importantly, it should manage up to 242 miles between charges.
