2025 Ford Capri - Ford Revives the Iconic Capri with a Modern Electric Twist!
Are you ready for a blast from the past with a futuristic twist? Ford is about to unveil its second electric compact SUV in Europe on July 10, and it might just bring back the iconic Capri badge. This exciting new SUV follows the European Ford Explorer, which launched last year. Both models are built at Ford's Cologne plant and share the same VW MEB platform used by Volkswagen’s ID series. While the Explorer has a boxy design to compete with the VW ID.4, this new electric vehicle features a sleek fastback body, setting its sights on the VW ID.5.
Though Ford hasn’t officially confirmed the launch date or the Capri name, rumors are buzzing. The car was teased back in March 2022, referred to as the “sport crossover” alongside the electric Puma and Explorer. Bringing back the Capri name would evoke nostalgia for many Europeans who remember the original Cortina-based Capri coupe sold between 1969 and 1986. The classic Capri was advertised as “the car you always promised yourself” and was a simple, rear-wheel drive coupe with engines ranging from 1.3 to 3.1 liters, producing 50 to 150 horsepower.
This new model will be significantly more powerful, likely offering a choice between a 282-horsepower single-motor setup and a 335-horsepower dual-motor configuration. The single-motor version, which powers the rear wheels, can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 6.4 seconds and features a 77-kilowatt-hour battery, providing a range of 354 miles. The dual-motor all-wheel drive version hits 62 miles per hour in just 5.3 seconds, with a 79-kilowatt-hour battery offering a 329-mile range.
As we await official confirmation from Ford on the launch details, anticipation is building. Will the new electric SUV live up to the legacy of the beloved Capri? Stay tuned to find out, as Ford continues to blend its rich heritage with cutting-edge technology in the world of electric vehicles.
