Video Summary
The video review found the following about the electric Ford Capri:- The name of the car is controversial.
- The car shares the MEB platform with other VW models.
- The original Ford Capri was aspirational, stylish, and affordable, unlike this new EV.
- One is a low-slung two-door coupe sports car, while the other is a large, high-riding electric family EV.
- Ford is claiming it has a sports car soul inside of an SUV body.
- The vehicle is pleasant to drive in a leisurely fashion and is delightful, quiet, and comfortable like all MEB platform cars and electric cars.
- In sport mode, the car's ride is firmer, helping it remain flatter through corners, which makes it confidence-inspiring to drive quickly.
- The handling in sport mode leaves something to be desired.
- The reviewer finds the design lacking desireability for the price.
- Touchy haptic buttons on the steering wheel were a deal breaker.
- The interior is mainly the same as Ford's Explorer.
- A battery size of 77/79 kilowatts, but the smaller 55 kilowatt battery reduces the price to $42K.
- More effort could have been put into being more similar to the iconic Capri name.
- The reviewer hopes to see Ford go back to making affordable cars as it did well.
