Ford brought back the Capri name in 2024 as a fully electric coupe-SUV built on the same MEB platform as the Volkswagen ID.4 and Cupra Tavascan. The 2026 model is a carryover with minor updates: new color options, revised wheel designs, and software improvements to the infotainment and driver assists. It’s sold mainly in Europe right now, with no official India launch announced as of January 2026. If it ever comes to India (likely as a CBU import), expect pricing around ₹50–70 lakh on-road — putting it in direct competition with the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and BYD Seal in the premium electric crossover space.
Exterior – Sharp, Retro-Inspired Looks
The Capri keeps the long hood, fastback roofline, and short rear overhang that echo the original 1969–1986 Capri coupe. The front has slim LED matrix headlights with dynamic indicators, a closed-off grille (EV style), and a subtle “CAPRI” badge. The rear gets full-width LED taillights and a diffuser. It’s 4,639 mm long, 1,880 mm wide, 1,623 mm high, with a 2,771 mm wheelbase. Ground clearance is around 160 mm — good for city and light gravel, but not hardcore off-road. New 2026 colors include metallic shades like Urban Green and Glacier Blue.
Interior – Modern & Spacious
The cabin is driver-focused with a 14.5-inch vertical touchscreen running Ford’s latest SYNC system (wireless CarPlay/Android Auto). A 10.25-inch digital cluster shows key info clearly. Materials are soft-touch with optional leather/Alcantara, and ambient lighting adds mood. Front seats are supportive with heating/ventilation, rear seats are comfortable for adults, and boot space is 410 liters (expandable to 1,460 liters). Higher trims get a panoramic sunroof and premium audio.
Powertrain – Electric-Only with Strong Range
All variants are electric:
- Standard RWD: 77 kWh battery, 286 hp, ~550 km WLTP range
- GT AWD: 79 kWh battery, 340 hp, ~520 km range, 0–100 km/h ~5.7 seconds
Fast charging (185 kW DC) takes 10–80% in ~28 minutes. Real-world range in mixed use is 400–480 km — very usable for Indian highways and city driving.
Ride & Handling – Sporty Yet Comfortable
The Capri is tuned for fun: low center of gravity, precise steering, and adaptive suspension on GT trim. It’s quick off the line (electric torque is instant) and stable at high speeds. Ride is comfortable for daily use, absorbing bumps well.
Safety & Tech
Ford Co-Pilot360 suite: adaptive cruise, lane centering, auto braking, blind-spot monitoring. Higher trims add 360 camera and parking assist.
Pricing & Availability
Europe: €45,000–€60,000. India: Not officially available; gray imports ~₹55–75 lakh. Launch in Europe mid-2026, India possibly 2027+ if demand grows.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Striking retro-modern design, excellent range, quick acceleration, premium interior, strong safety kit.
Cons: Limited rear headroom, high price if imported to India, no petrol option.
Final Thoughts
The 2026 Ford Capri is a smart revival — retro looks, modern EV tech, and practical crossover space. It’s for buyers who want something stylish and efficient without going full SUV. In India, it would be a niche import, but if Ford brings it officially, it could shake up the premium EV segment.
