Ford Europe design director Amko Leenarts says the look<\/a> follows an imagined evolution of the Capri since production ended in 1986, as inspired by the rising popularity of SUVs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This beefier Capri follows Ford\u2019s other modern takes on classic nameplates, including the Mustang, which became an electric SUV, and the Maverick, which ended up as a pickup truck. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n It will come in rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive extended-range configurations and a \u201cpremium\u201d trim option for each. Ford is promising a maximum range of 627km (about 390 miles) on a single charge for the extended-range RWD model, based on European WLTP estimates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s the second model built on Volkswagen\u2019s MEB electric vehicle platform<\/a>, following the Explorer EV<\/a> that launched in Europe last year and also has no plans for a US release. The Capri and Explorer have extremely similar specs that line up with the Volkswagen EVs they share platforms with (ID.5 and ID.4, respectively). However, the Capri has a slightly sportier look that might make it more of a middle option amid Ford\u2019s lineup with the Explorer and Mustang Mach-E.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
