After slapping the Puma badge on a crossover, Ford is doing it again with another fabled European nameplate. Say hello to the new Capri, which represents a striking change from the fastback coupe sold between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s. While the original model was marketed as the Euro Mustang, its modern-day equivalent is just another electric SUV.

This FPV ute was recently sold on Facebook Marketplace. Coupled with the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 is a 6-speed manual gearbox. The pickup has been driven a touch over 115,000 km (~71,000 miles since new). Ten years ago, seeing punchy utes from Ford on Australian roads was quite a common sight,...

Ford reinvents its long-bonneted Seventies icon as a... big SUV-crossover thing spun off the Volkswagen ID.5. Skip 16 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. Fair odds that anyone over 40, upon seeing Ford’s new interpretation of the Capri, will spend five minutes simply saying ‘that’s not a Capri though, is it?’. And despite the Ford marketing department’s tenuous proclamations that this new Capri is ‘what the Capri would have been’ and that ‘the legend is back’, there’s precious little carryover from a long-bonneted two-door coupe that always seemed to smell strongly of four-star petrol and a five-seat, tall-riding, five-door semi-SUV.

It's the brand new Ford Capri! And yes, it's now an electric SUV

Like its more traditionally shaped platform-mate, the 2025 BMW X5 M Competition, the Sports Activity Coupe version doesn’t change much for the newest model year. The 2025 BMW X6 M Competition now resides in a somewhat hotly-contested segment – coupe-shaped high-performance SUV – shared with heavy hitters like the RS Q8, Cayenne Turbo GT, and Mercedes-AMG GLE 63. Although pricing and luxuriousness vary wildly in the segment, overall, the 2025 X6 M Competition more than holds its own in the segment and could almost be considered a value, undercutting pricing from its closest rivals in Porsche and other exotic lands.
