\n New Ford Capri looks nothing like the 1970s original <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cult classic sports car’s name set to return for ‘sports crossover’ based on the Ford Explorer<\/p>\n

\n

Ford\u2019s second electric crossover based on the Volkswagen Group\u2019s MEB platform \u2013\u00a0which is tipped to revive the fabled Capri name \u2013\u00a0will be revealed shortly,\u00a0the company has confirmed.<\/p>\n

The new EV, which has already been spied testing in prototype form, will be a sibling to the larger Explorer\u00a0and\u00a0rival the likes of the Peugeot e-3008<\/a>,\u00a0Volkswagen ID 5<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Volvo C40<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ford has now begun production of the MEB-based\u00a0Explorer at its new\u00a0Electric Vehicle Centre in Cologne<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 its first dedicated EV manufacturing facility in Europe \u2013 and has confirmed that a second EV will go into production there later this year.<\/p>\n

It has described this second machine as a \u201csports crossover\u201d and says that it will be \u201crevealed shortly\u201d. While Ford has yet to officially confirm the name for the new model, the Capri tag has been widely reported.<\/p>\n

Ford’s Electric Vehicle Centre is an extensively refurbished factory that used to house manufacturing of the now-discontinued Ford Fiesta. The firm has invested \u00a31.6 billion in the site.<\/p>\n

Ford has equipped the site with \u201ccutting-edge AI\u201d and more than 600 robots, and it claims the use of \u201cdigital twin\u201d monitoring technology will monitor production in real-time to yield what manufacturing chief Rene Wolf\u00a0called\u00a0\u201cunprecedented levels of quality\u201d.<\/p>\n

The spy shots previously captured of the Capri suggest that it will look more like a raised saloon than some other coup\u00e9-SUVs, and there are hints that it will have a raft of bespoke design cues to differentiate it from the more rugged Explorer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s clear, for example, that the new EV features a unique LED headlight design that apes that of later Capris.<\/p>\n

Underneath, it’s expected to be technically identical to the Explorer, with a choice of three EV powertrains ranging in output from 168bhp to 335bhp, and either a 52kWh or a 77kWh battery pack for a maximum range of around 374\u00a0miles. Charging will be at speeds of up to 170kW.<\/p>\n

The Capri\u00a0was originally due to launch around six months after its Explorer sibling. But the Explorer, first shown in March 2023, has only just gone into production following delays\u00a0due to the need to comply with new battery legislation coming into effect next year.<\/p>\n

Autocar first reported in 2019 that the Capri name was in the frame for a revival<\/a>. Speaking to Autocar late last year\u00a0Amko Leenarts, the\u00a0firm’s Europe chief designer,\u00a0<\/span>heard just how important historic nameplates will be for Ford as it progresses with its electric revolution.<\/p>\n

Leenarts spoke excitedly and passionately about the next stage in the company\u2019s evolution as he showed Autocar\u00a0around Ford’s expansive Merkenich Design Studio, just down the road from the company’s Cologne factory.<\/p>\n

He joined Ford 11 years ago (when its range was several times larger than it will be by 2025) and is charged with leading the brand into its bold new electric future, starting with the Explorer.<\/p>\n

\"Amko<\/p>\n

Importantly, he said, Ford\u2019s redeploying of historic names does not herald the advent of nostalgic styling cues: \u201cRetro designs aren\u2019t moving us forward. It\u2019s always about totally new interpretation: that\u2019s what makes it interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

What happened when we had a go at resurrecting the legend?\u00a0Back by popular demand: reinventing the Ford Capri<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Explorer, for example, is an entirely different proposition from its much larger US-market namesake but, highlighted\u00a0Leenarts, has been designed with the same focus on active customers and functionality. \u201cIt\u2019s not a surprise that that is the first car in our Adventurous Spirit range,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He did not offer any hints as to which other Ford names are up for revival, nor did\u00a0he indicate what qualifies an old badge for a comeback, but he revels in \u201cthe tension between something that\u2019s got the equity of an older name and the new interpretation\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a topic that will have been debated hotly in Ford\u2019s customer focus groups over the past few years, since the firm reused the names Puma for a crossover and Mustang for an electric family SUV.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ultimately, thinks Leenarts, \u201cthe public loves that we\u2019re bringing nameplates to new territories\u201d, because they tap into a \u201cunique perspective that nobody else has\u201d.<\/p>\n

While the names may be familiar, though, the designs really won\u2019t be. As the first of a new breed of Fords conceived under the Adventurous Spirit banner, the Explorer sets the tone for every bespoke EV that will follow it over the coming years. Direct references to previous Ford models are few and far between, both inside and out.<\/p>\n

Leenarts explained\u00a0that the onset of electrification provided an opportunity to cater to evolving customer requirements with what\u2019s arguably the biggest shift in Ford design since the New Edge ethos of the late 1990s: \u201cWe started researching first: how do customers look at us? I felt personally that we were looking too positively on our own brand; we needed a health check on where we really were. And that\u2019s why we did work with the customers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was really hurting me was them saying we were boring. And that was the part I got really engaged in. I said: \u2018Okay, we have to come up with unique proposals: car designs that are clearly differentiated, that offer a unique perspective that nobody else has.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

That the Explorer looks nothing like the Puma or Kuga, for example, is testament to Ford\u2019s commitment to conveying its new American-flavoured image and serves as proof for the enhanced freedom afforded to car designers by flat-floored, engineless EV architectures.<\/p>\n

\u201cElectric car [design] language for us automatically came with simplification: cleaning it up, making sure that we get not only the bold proportions and stance, the language much more simplistic, but with that it almost feels more expensive, more premium, more approachable as well. So we\u2019re not doing aggressive cars here. We\u2019re actually doing cars that you can love easily,\u201d summarises Leenarts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to make a product that\u2019s exciting. I want to make a product that you really love. And in order to do that, it needs to have a beautiful sculpture; it has to have a couple of details that really stand out but are, again, easy to love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether there are any pitfalls of EV design that he tries to avoid, he says: \u201cI think there are some products out there that try a little bit too hard, and in the end it gets to something that\u2019s almost an appliance design. So a pitfall is appliance design. Don\u2019t make it look like an appliance; it\u2019s got to be sexy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
