- Coupe looks, SUV practicality
- Good to drive; £2,200 pack for free
- Just £228 a month
It may share little with its original namesake in looks and packaging, but the latest Ford Capri does have one thing in common – and that’s aspiration. It sits above its sister car, the Explorer as a more sporting, prestigious model. And yet, right now, you can lease one for the same dough.
On the Auto Express Find a Car service, Ford’s own dealer group, TrustFord, is offering the Capri for a bonkers £228 a month – that’s the cheapest we’ve ever seen. TrustFord is also offering the Explorer for exactly the same price a month with an identical £2,736 initial payment, so take your choice.
We’d be tempted to opt for the Capri, though. This deal gets you the entry-level Style with the smaller battery pack, so features such as 19-inch aero alloy wheels, a 14.6-inch touchscreen, a soundbar, LED headlights and intelligent adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, all come as standard.
But, get this – TrustFord is also throwing in the Driver Assistance Pack for free, getting you keyless entry with door-handle illumination, a head-up display, a 360-degree parking camera and an electric tailgate, among other features. This would normally cost you £2,200 alone but here’s it’s zilch.
The 52kWh battery pack will give you a claimed 242 miles of range, so around 220 miles in everyday driving is likely. Meanwhile, a 168bhp electric motor powering the rear wheels gives more than enough poke.
Handling-wise, the Capri doesn’t drive like a two-door sports car, but it is rather good for a large, five-door coupe-SUV, with solid body control and a well controlled ride.
The interior is a near carbon-copy of the Explorer’s, so it’s modern, well laid-out and nicely finished. And despite that sloping roofline, space in the back is very good, while the boot capacity is an impressive 572 litres.
