New Ford Capri review: electric fastback tested on UK roads

In Feb 2026, Ford introduced the new Capri as a fully electric fastback with roomy proportions in a review that followed about a week of testing.
Ford reworked the Capri into a jacked-up saloon fastback with subtle nods to the original Capri, while online commentators criticised the electric conversion but the reviewer said it stands on its own merits.
Inside, the Capri borrows a dashboard from the Ford Explorer and features a sliding central screen plus sporty seats, with two battery choices: a 52kWh unit with 170bhp and 240-mile range, and a 77kWh version up to 385 miles.
The Capri's entry price starts comfortably below £40,000 and moves into the £50s depending on spec, positioning it as a practical long-range EV for families.
Critics may focus on the Capri name, but the reviewer said a different name might not boost sales as the car demonstrates practical strengths, shaping perceptions of Ford's EV strategy.
