The Ford Capri is an upcoming battery electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) produced by Ford through its European operations. Set to be produced in the Cologne Body & Assembly in Germany and marketed mainly in Europe, the vehicle is based on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform and will use Volkswagen-supplied batteries. The vehicle shares its name with the original Ford Capri.

Overview

The Capri EV takes its inspiration from the original Ford Capri, produced by Ford of Europe from 1968 to 1986.

In early 2023, there was speculation that Ford could revive the Capri nameplate in Europe as an electric sports crossover coupe, similar to the revival of the Puma nameplate in 2019. Though the Capri name has not been confirmed by Ford, instead being named the "Sport Crossover" prior to an official launch in 2024, the vehicle would be based on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform and would share technology and design cues from the 2024 Ford Explorer EV.[1][2][3] A camouflaged pre-production vehicle would later be photographed driving around Cologne in November 2023.[4][5] The vehicle was unveiled on 10 July 2024.[6]
