Welcome back to DriveDreams Review! Get ready for a nostalgic journey with a modern twist as Ford unveils its second electric compact SUV in Europe on July 10, potentially reviving the iconic Capri badge.

This upcoming SUV follows the European Ford Explorer, introduced last year. Both models will be produced at Ford's Cologne plant and will utilize the same VW MEB platform found in Volkswagen’s ID series. While the Explorer sports a boxy design similar to the VW ID.4, this new electric vehicle features a sleek fastback body, aiming to compete with the VW ID.5.

Though Ford has not officially confirmed the launch date or the Capri name, speculation is rife. The vehicle was teased in March 2022 as a “sport crossover” alongside the electric Puma and Explorer. Reintroducing the Capri name would stir nostalgia among Europeans who remember the original Cortina-based Capri coupe, sold between 1969 and 1986. The classic Capri was marketed as “the car you always promised yourself” and featured a simple, rear-wheel-drive setup with engines ranging from 1.3 to 3.1 liters, producing 50 to 150 horsepower.
