Ford has revived its famous Capri name for a new mid-size electric SUV with a coupe-like roofline.
The Polestar 2 rival joins Ford's VW ID4-based Explorer as part of an expanding line-up.
Like the Explorer, the Capri uses VW's MEB platform and shares a platform with the Skoda Enyaq Coupe and VW ID5.
Ford has given the Capri a distinctive exterior design that sets it apart from the more boxy Explorer.
On the inside the two cars are more familiar, with a shared cockpit layout. The central 14.6-inch touchscreen dominates, with Ford's latest Sync software powering the setup.
Prices start at £42,075, although that only gets you a 'Standard Range' with a 55kWh battery and a 170PS motor.
For £48,075, the Extended Range RWD model has a 77kWh battery and promises a range of 389 miles.It uses a 286PS motor.
There is also an Extended Range AWD version, with 340PS. It uses a 79kWh battery and has a 346-mile range.
Ford offers two trim levels: Select and Premium.
Select gets adaptive cruise control, keyless entry, parking sensors, reversing camera heated front seats and dual-zone climate control.
Premium adds 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, matrix LED headlights and a powered tailgate.
Space on board is generous and the boot has a volume of 572 litres. There's also large 17-litre storage bin under the centre armrest.
The Ford Capri is available to order now, in Extended Range guise, with lead times of around 16 weeks. The cheaper Standard Range model will go on sale towards the end of the year.
