DRIVEN: All-new Ford Capri. Right car, wrong name? | Electrifying

Uploaded 9 months ago by Electrifying

Video Summary

- The vehicle is named Ford Capri, but looks nothing like a Capri.
- It resembles a GV60 at the front and a Polestar 2 at the back.
- A name like Mondeo would have fit the electric SUV’s looks better.
- The test model is the top spec with all-wheel drive and the biggest battery, costing over £56,000.
- A smaller battery version will be available for around £42,000.
- The Ford Capri has a standard 3-year, 60,000-mile warranty.
- Competitors like Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, and Peugeot offer longer standard warranties.
- The car's interior is very VW-like due to sharing parts with VW.
- The steering wheel has holes that shouldn't have fingers put into for health and safety reasons.
- The sync move set-up includes a 14.6-inch touch screen that works pretty well.
- Climate controls are in the screen, a frustrating point because it requires looking away to press the right thing.
- The car features the Senco trim, which feels plush.
- It features wireless phone charging, but only on the passenger side, which could lead to arguments on who charges first.
- Rear seating is very spacious.
- The large, 572-liter boot has plenty of space and an under-floor area to put cables.
- A tow bar allows a 1,200 kg towing capacity.
- In general, while the car drives well, it handles like a Ford Explorer and lacks a standout appeal.
- More fun can be had in a Kia EV6 or Polestar 2.
