Will a four door electric Ford Capri bring customers back to the brand

Eric Cantona is the ambassador for this all new Capri revival and it looks like another hit or more likely miss for Ford Motor Corporation as this new design looks like a revised Mustang Mach E electric car.

The new Capri is a coupé SUV with a sporty design and shares the MEB technology from the Ford Explorer and Volkswagen ID.5.

This new Ford Capri is 4.634 meters long, 1.872 meters wide and 1.626 meters high when unladen. The wheelbase is 2.767 meters. Aero light-alloy wheels come as standard: 19 inches for the Capri equipment line, 20 inches for the Capri Premium, and wheels of up to 21 inches are also available as an option. Tire widths are 235 centimeters at the front and 255 centimeters at the rear.

Ford is equipping the rear-wheel drive version, like the four-wheel drive version, with an Extended-Range lithium-ion NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) battery. The option of preconditioning the battery has been integrated into the navigation system and also as a manual function.

It will deliver a possible 627 km driving range on a single charge. Up to 340 PS from dual motor, all-wheel drive powertrain, for 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.3 seconds. 10-80 per cent charging in as little as approximately 26 minutes using 185 kW DC fast charging.

In the cabin you get the 14.6-inch SYNC Move tablet which is a screen that moves smoothly up and down whenever you want, for the most comfortable viewing angle or simply to suit your sense of style.

SYNC Move features voice activation, connected navigation and a configurable interface with light and dark modes. There is Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility as standard. There is also a dedicated holder accepts two large smartphones and includes a wireless charger.
