Brother of the Explorer EV with a ‘Touch’ of Volkswagen to Debut on the 10th of Next Month, with Sales Focused on Europe
The long-awaited launch of Ford in the SUV segment is finally on its way. The Capri EV, which has been the subject of numerous speculations and sightings, will have its official reveal on July 10th. With sales expected by the end of the year, the commercial focus of the model will be the European market, following in the footsteps of the Explorer EV, its “brother” in the lineup, according to the website Motor1.
The Capri SUV is the Perfect Fusion of Ford and Volkswagen!
The new Capri EV stands out for combining Ford’s robustness with Volkswagen’s advanced technology. Structurally, the vehicle will use the MEB platform, widely known and used by Volkswagen. In terms of powertrain, the Capri EV is expected to deliver around 300 hp of power and a range of up to 500 km. In addition, there will be options with rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, complemented by a DC fast-charging system that promises to recharge from 10% to 80% of the battery in just 25 minutes.
Visually, projections indicate that the Capri EV will follow a coupe style, with elegant lines and a design reminiscent of the classic Escort and Capri from previous generations. The rear will feature a characteristic slope, while the front will boast a signature LED lighting, as already anticipated in Ford teasers.

Meet the New and Memorable Ford Capri SUV
Technology and Comfort in the SUV
Inside, the Capri EV promises to be a spectacle of technology. The highlight is the central vertical screen of 15 inches, equipped with the Ford Sync Move entertainment system. Additionally, the floating digital instrument cluster will display essential driving information and battery charge levels. The vehicle’s technology package will also include 12 ultrasonic sensors, 5 cameras, and 3 radar devices integrated into the driver assistance systems, ensuring safe and efficient driving.
Like the Explorer EV, the Capri EV will be produced at the Cologne factory in Germany, a location historically known for the production of the compact Fiesta until its discontinuation in July last year. This now-modernized plant will be the production center for Ford’s new SUV-coupe.
The Capri EV will enter a competitive market, facing rivals such as the Volkswagen ID.5, Skoda Enyaq, Smart #3, Volvo C40 Recharge, Nissan Ariya, and Renault Mégane E-Tech. Each of these models has distinct characteristics, but the Capri EV promises to stand out for its unique combination of design, technology, and performance.
Expectations and Launch of the New Ford SUV
With the launch scheduled for next month, the expectations surrounding the Capri EV are high. Ford is betting on a model that not only revives an iconic name but also represents a significant advancement in its electrification strategy. Sales, expected for the end of the year, will initially target the European market, where the demand for electric SUVs has been growing exponentially.
The Capri EV arrives with the promise of redefining the segment, bringing a perfect blend of heritage, innovation, and sustainability. For the brand enthusiasts and the automotive sector, July 10th marks the beginning of a new era for Ford, with a vehicle that is poised to become a new icon.
