Are you prepared for a blend of nostalgia and modern innovation? Ford is gearing up to unveil its second compact electric SUV in Europe on July 10, and speculation suggests it could revive the iconic Capri name.
This upcoming SUV follows the footsteps of the European Ford Explorer, which debuted last year. Both models will be manufactured at Ford's Cologne plant and share the VW MEB platform also used by Volkswagen's ID Series. While the Explorer targets a boxy design akin to VW ID.4, the new EV boasts a sleek fastback body, aiming for a similar appeal as the VW ID.5.
Although Ford hasn't confirmed the launch date or the use of the Capri name officially, rumors are circulating. Teased earlier in March 2022 as a "sport crossover" alongside Ford's electric Puma and Explorer, bringing back the Capri name would evoke nostalgia among Europeans who fondly remember the original Capri Coupe based on the Cortina, sold from 1969 to 1986. Advertised as "the car you always promised yourself," the classic Capri was a straightforward rear-wheel-drive coupe with engine choices ranging from 1.3 to 3.1 liters, generating 50 to 150 horsepower.
The new model is expected to be much more powerful, potentially offering options between a single-motor setup generating 282 horsepower and a dual-motor configuration with 335 horsepower. The single-motor variant, powering the rear wheels, accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.4 seconds with a 77 kWh battery providing a range of 354 miles. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive version achieves 62 mph in 5.3 seconds with a 79 kWh battery offering a range of 329 miles.
As we await Ford's official confirmation on launch details, excitement grows. Will the new electric SUV honor the cherished Capri legacy? Stay tuned as Ford blends its storied heritage with cutting-edge electric vehicle technology.
