By Ben Clark | English Ford, Poole’s Take on Ford’s Newest Offering
The new, all-electric Ford Capri is here, and let’s be honest; it’s about as far removed from its 70s namesake as you can get. Gone is the low-slung body and manual gearbox. In its place? A sophisticated, high-tech electric SUV with up to 389 miles of range. But before you let nostalgia cloud your vision, hear me out. The 2025 Ford Capri isn’t trying to live in the shadow of its predecessor. It’s leading a charge into the future, and it’s doing so rather brilliantly.
This Capri wears its SUV proportions with purpose. The sleek Vivid Yellow or Blue My Mind paint options tie it back to its bold heritage, while aerodynamic lines and modern LED signature lighting plant it firmly in the 21st century. There’s a subtle nod to the past in its rear curved window and grille design, but its purpose is clear: this is a car that embraces now.
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a futuristic cabin. The MegaConsole offers ample space for a laptop or handbag, while the My Private Locker hides neatly behind the SyncMove screen. The screen itself is responsive and rivals luxury EVs in functionality. The 572 litres of boot space make it ideal for family trips or a shopping spree; practicality is the real standout.
With a range of up to 389 miles, the Capri is built for adventure. Long-distance cruising feels effortless, and a growing charging network means range anxiety isn’t an issue. Acceleration is smooth and satisfying, making it a practical yet exciting option for the modern driver.
This isn’t a throwback to the 70s. Instead, it’s a modern SUV designed for today’s needs: efficiency, sustainability, and versatility. It may not have the tyre-squealing antics of the original RWD Capri, but it’s practical, stylish, and built for real-world use.
Ford hasn’t recreated the past; they’ve crafted a vehicle for the future. The New Ford Capri is relevant, capable, and practical. Next time you’re in Poole, take a visit to English Ford (Foray Motor Group) at Tower Park for a closer look. Nostalgia might bring you in, but the electric brilliance will convince you to stay.
