AutoExec Summary

The Ford Capri is set to return in 2025 after a 30-year hiatus, but as an electric mid-size family SUV, not as the sports coupe or convertible of past decades. Built on Volkswagen underpinnings, the new Capri joins the trend of classic Ford names being applied to SUVs, like the Puma and Mustang Mach-E. It offers up to 627km of driving range and acceleration from 0-100km/h in 5.3 seconds. Despite its European launch, Australian availability is uncertain. Design elements nod to the 1970s Capri, and it features advanced tech and luxury, including a 14.6-inch infotainment screen with hidden storage. Two variants are available, with the AWD model offering faster charging and more power.
