The information comes from the website “oantagonista,” which reported last week that the American brand is bringing back its famous model Capri in Europe, this time as a totally electric Coupé SUV, after a series of changes and new features, even in its innovative design.

The return of Ford’s popular car will feature two electric motor options, offering 286 and 340 horsepower. This ensures better performance than ever, combining power and strength with elegance and sophistication.

Additionally, with all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive options, Ford’s new popular car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 or 6.4 seconds, respectively, reaching a top speed of up to 180 km/h. This performance is impressive and quite common in modern electric cars, thanks to its efficient battery, which is also very economical.

Marin Gjaja, Chief Operating Officer Of Ford Model, celebrated the return of Ford’s popular car in European countries, stating that this is a new electric model, developed and produced in Europe. This launch promises to revolutionize the automotive market, offering a unique combination of performance, efficiency, and innovation.

In the return of Ford’s popular car, the headlights will stand out in the front with LED lighting signatures, while the taillights are divided by the opening of the trunk lid.

Furthermore, photos already reveal that the model will strongly adopt the Coupé style in its lines and the characteristic slope of the roof. In this regard, some cuts seem to be inspired by the first generations of the Escort and the Capri itself, which will have its name revived after decades.

Inside, the expectation is that Ford’s popular car will replicate the technological touch of its sibling Explorer EV, including a central 15-inch vertical screen and Ford Sync Move entertainment system.

The digital floating instrument cluster will display driving data and battery charge levels. Additionally, the technology package will include at least 12 ultrasonic sensors, 5 cameras, and 3 radar devices integrated into the driver assistance systems.

Structurally,the model will have mechanics borrowed from Volkswagen in the form of the MEB architecture. In addition to the aforementioned motorization, it is expected to achieve a range of 500 km. Rumors also indicate rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive versions, as well as fast DC charging that will allow charging from 10% to 80% in just 25 minutes.

How Much Will The New Ford Car Cost?

Like the Explorer EV, the Capri will be produced at the Cologne factory in Germany, with a commercial focus on Europe. The list of competitors includes names like Volkswagen ID.5, Skoda Enyag, Volvo C40, Smart #3, among others. In this return of the popular car, there will be 6 external colors available and prices start at 51,950 euros, the equivalent of R$ 303,325. 

It measures 4734 mm in length, 2063 mm in width, 1626 mm in height, and 2767 mm in wheelbase. It is worth noting that in 1968, Ford launched the first generation of the Capri, a fastback coupé that competed in Group 5 and Group 4 Rally tracks. The model was developed to be the European Mustang, but its production ended in 1986 with the third generation.
