The Ford Capri: Specifications and Price

Ford Capri, that name that has always been associated with European style and fun to drive is just legend which is begging to be revived.
Originally unveiled in 1968, the Ford Capri was released to the public, with buyers praising the car’s attractive looks, excellent road manners and a relatively cheap price. It quickly became a popular choice for the lovers of cars as well as the typical drivers, and it was manufactured for close to twenty years.

Styling and dimensions

Another recent example includes the presence of the ‘220 highlights’ in the marketing info that Ford provided us with for the reveal of the Capri; however, out of 220, only 10 were reserved for discussions about the design of this actual car and it was referred to as the ‘soulful coupe-SUV’.

The rest were about boot space, Protech safety system, the massaging driver seat, sync with move technology (imagine calling something from a plumbing store), the lockable storage behind the touch screen to mention the abundance of the safety features. Probably that explains who the new Capri is targeted –, and believe you me; it cannot be all that fans of the original car. The customers who are going to purchase this car will be looking for an appealing electric vehicle for their family and that is exactly what they will be getting for this 4. Ford Capri SUV and while a unique 63m-long coupe-like Ford Capri SUV.

But, of course, that shouldn’t exclude it from having a number of design references to the first model, should it? But the only one that I find of my interest is the rear quarter window. Ford’s design team carries a sense of pride that from a distance the silhouette should resemble a Capri. Sorry but I don’t see the bigger picture. Cool – maybe you can? So take a look at the video, and let me know in the comments section, whether you are seeing those similarities as clearly as I do.

Interior

Internically it’s back to what you might expect from an Explorer but the seats are a little Capriish. As well as following on from the original car, the head rests are connected as in the Capri style car and the steering wheel is the same as the Capri style car has a single spoke at 6 o’clock.

Over and above this, it would be considered as all the absurdity of a present day family EV. The standard 6-inch SYNC touchscreen has Ford’s own software; there are permanently running shortcut icons that allow for quick jumping from the most common options – though they are somewhat small and not really easily clickable at the same time. Also a little inconvenient is that if you choose a Drive Mode or go to the vehicle settings using the shortcuts, the screen does not go back to the previous page you were on and there is no ‘back’ button to use.

Nonetheless, it is very ingenious that – just like in the Explorer – the screen is again tiltable and there is a ‘hidden’ compartment behind it, which could only be described as a neat cubby hole for storage of personal belongings.

It is fairly large as well, the rear bench is just about accommodating three kids without them being able to bang elbows into each other and the flat floor means that students will not be complaining of lack of knee space. Recline the backrests in a 60:40 ratio to create a bulky boot that has folding foot end – besides that, tuning a rear centre fold-down armrest and through-carrying shelf.

Price and equipment

Lower-cost choices start at £42,075 for the 52kWh Ford Capri Standard Range, while the best-selling melee might well be the £48,075 Extended Range RWD, with . The information on monthly finance offers is still pending; however, that’s probably where the most vital offers are to be expected.
