The modern 2027 Ford Capri is a 100% electric sport crossover—an SUV-coupe strictly targeted at the European market. Built on Volkswagen’s MEB platform, Ford has introduced a wave of major mid-lifecycle engineering updates, battery overhauls, and tech upgrades to keep the 2027 Ford Capri highly competitive. Here is our detailed breakdown.
Let’s address the elephant in the room: the styling. Purists might cry foul over the high-riding crossover dimensions of the 2027 Ford Capri, but our design review team notes that Ford’s head of design, Amko Leenarts, genuinely tried to weave vintage DNA into this modern silhouette.
When you look closely at the 2027 Ford Capri, you will spot three distinct retro callouts:
- The “Dog-Bone” Grille: Look closely at the front fascia. The quad LED headlights are integrated into a horizontal black band across the blanked-off grille, which mirrors the classic Mk3 face.
- The “Capri Swoosh”: The C-shaped side window graphic directly mimics the iconic fastback glasshouse lines of its ancestor.
- The Tail Panel: At the rear, a full-width black panel breaks cleanly into four separate LED light clusters, giving it a distinct retro signature at night.
Dimensionally, it spans 4.63 meters in length and stands 1.63 meters tall. It’s a chunky footprint, but the sloping roofline slices through the air cleanly.
Technical Specifications
Underneath the bodywork, the 2027 Ford Capri benefits heavily from Ford’s technical partnership with the Volkswagen Group. However, Ford hasn’t just copied VW’s homework; they have implemented bespoke suspension tuning, lowering the ride height by 10 mm compared to the platform-sharing Ford Explorer EV for a firmer, more athletic setup.
The big news for the latest model year is the addition of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry on the entry-level trim.
Dal-Motor Tech Note: The transition to an LFP battery on the standard range variant of the 2027 Ford Capri is a massive win. Not only does it increase the baseline driving range by roughly 17%, but LFP chemistry is physically robust. You can regularly juice this pack up to 100% without accelerating battery degradation, making it incredibly practical for daily commuting.
Interior Details
Stepping inside the cabin, the vintage vibes disappear in favor of a clean, minimalist digital layout. The centerpiece of the dashboard inside the 2027 Ford Capri is the 14.6-inch vertical “SYNC Move” touchscreen infotainment system.
Our team loves the physical engineering here: the entire screen can slide smoothly up or down on a tilting mechanism. When you push the screen backward, it opens up a lockable cubby named “My Private Locker,” keeping your valuables completely out of sight. The software runs an optimized Android-based operating system that allows you to group apps into customized folders for quicker navigation.
Practicality is where this coupe-SUV surprisingly shines. Under the front armrest sits the “MegaConsole”—a cavernous 17-liter storage bin that can swallow a full-sized laptop or multiple large water bottles with ease. Total boot volume stands at a generous 572 liters, which beats out its conventional Explorer sibling.
However, we do have one ergonomic complaint: the driver’s door panel only features two physical window switches. To control the rear glass, you have to tap a capacitive “Rear” button first. It’s a cost-saving measure inherited from VW’s parts bin that requires a small learning curve.
Advance Safety
The driver assistance suite on the 2027 Ford Capri is top-tier. A standout feature we tested is the upgraded Reversing Assist system. The car constantly logs the last 50 meters of forward travel.
If you find yourself nose-to-nose with a truck on a tight European lane, you can activate the system, and the vehicle will autonomously steer backward along that exact path while you simply modulate the brakes.
Furthermore, the vehicle includes Traffic Light Recognition to actively slow the vehicle down at intersections, along with a sophisticated Driver State Assist system that tracks your eye movements to detect fatigue, ensuring maximum active safety on long highway stints.
Price & Release Date
The 2027 Ford Capri lineup shifted into full gear in early 2026, when Ford expanded the order banks for the heavily upgraded model year variations at its Cologne Assembly plant in Germany. Volume deliveries for the lineup are rolling out across the UK and European showrooms throughout the latter half of 2026 and into early 2027. While first-wave Extended Range models hit asphalt earlier, the primary draw for the latest model year is the highly anticipated Standard Range version, which introduces a resilient Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry that significantly cuts down the cost of entry for everyday buyers.
Financially, Ford is positioning the crossover to undercut premium fastback rivals like the Polestar 2 while clashing directly with the Volkswagen ID.5. Pricing kicks off at a highly competitive £36,985 (€41,950) for the entry-level Style variant, while the sweet-spot Select Extended Range RWD model—which offers the maximum 627 km WLTP highway range—commands £43,285 (€49,250).
For driving enthusiasts looking for premium tech or maximum performance, stepping up to the dual-motor Premium AWD or the exclusive “Capri Collection” special edition pushes the price ceiling past £49,185 (€55,950) before options, forcing it to compete strictly on merit against the heavyweights of the premium EV sector.
