Rakish Explorer sibling channels the spirit of its 1970s namesake and touts nearly 400 miles of range
Ford has revived the Capri nameplate after a 38-year absence for a rakish, electric, saloon-shaped SUV with Focus ST levels of performance and nearly 400 miles of range. Far removed from its low-slung, two-door 1970s namesake, the electric Capri is derived from Ford’s new Explorer crossover and will enter production alongside that car in Cologne, Germany, in the coming weeks.
While the Explorer has a straight-edged, two-box silhouette heavily influenced by Ford’s American heritage, the Capri adopts a sleeker, more aero-influenced form that gives it the appearance of a high-riding saloon rather than a full-blown SUV - not dissimilar to the Polestar 2. Like the Explorer, it rides on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB architecture and will be offered with a choice of either a 282bhp single rear motor for 0-62mph in 6.
