ford is just slapping model names that remotely have any recognition on their EVs hoping it gives their cars cred. They did the same thing with the mustang. It obviously backfires. There is nothing wrong with giving a new name for their EV line up.
It wouldn't surprise me if Ford did it on purpose in the same way Toyota has a Corolla and a Corolla Cross... that is, they can say they sold X amount of Mustangs and not necessarily have to make a distinction because they're both a "Mustang". It's also easier and cheaper for Ford to use trademarks they already own and aren't using than trying to come up with a new name that no one else has taken.
Bravo, Nicola - yeah, definitely an insult to memory of Capri ! Certainly nearer Mondeo hatch - though, I’d probably have used the Sierra name ! The (early) Mondeos were just too good, to also be sullied by this ID5 thing !! 😅
Did I hear her say it’s both longer and shorter than an Explorer?! They should have just called it the Explorer Coupe, just like most other manufacturers these days giving us both versions of SUVs
Nicola, you're literally the second best presenter in the game. Definitely the best women presenter. I reckon only Rory pips you in terms of overall balance of review info x entertainment x knowledge. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Looking at what Renault is doing with the 4, 5 and Twingo, exciting reinventions of loved old cars, this is really disappointing from Ford. I would really like to see a modern interpretation, but it seems silly referring to this car as a Capri.
The original Capri was a true Classic, i.e. it was a Ford Consul Classic Capri, built in '61 from which the '69 Capri took its design cues, just like this one. Who thinks the '69 one ascended to Diety status? Get a grip on yourselves.
So they've made a Ford ID.5. They saw everything people hated about the ID cars and left it in then slapped on a historic name that has only angered people. Ford better have something good in the pipeline after the ID clones are done with
Whoever signed off that name for this was a complete idiot. It simply created hatred for a car engineers and designers have produced that is probably ok but so many wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole because of the name. Why not call it the Galaxy, Orion, Granada. £56k 😂 who is going to buy that, really so many better looking options without the added baggage of a disaster of a name. Would you walk away and look back and think “Nice” 😂 no.
Overpriced. As a former ADI, I refuse to buy a car (EV or ICE) that replaces buttons and knobs for basic functions such as heating, volume etc with touch screens or haptic buttons. Ford could offer to give me one for free and I'd turn it down!
The interior is very 'chinese' auto maker influenced - mixed materials, light and dark, fabric highlights. Still I'd rather have an Enyaq. Not really a Capri.....
What. An. Ugly. Car. Ford's designers dropped some acid and then decided to design a car! And that price?? Mental!! If Ford manage to sell more than a handful of these it will be a miracle!
The original Capri was pretty rubbish to drive bit it had charismatic looks that appealed to the teenager I once was. This doesn't have charisma unfortunately
@N1ckZ and all the cheap VW bits people don't like, like the single window controls, fake buttons that don't work well? and cheap plastics everywhere they think they can get away with it. And a single seat heat setting and a heat pump isn't standard. For the price it should be significantly better.

It looks like a polestar 2 with a peanut allergy that's flared up.
that price is mental
All cars are too expensive nowadays.
Come on Ford if you're going to bring back the Capri name, at least place it onto a sporty looking thing.
Ah yes, a sporty looking thing, that not even the people who claim they want such a sporty looking thing, would buy.

It doesn't backfire though.
So it's a VW iD5, but £10k overpriced, and heat pump is extra....goodbye Ford.
Apart from that.... Apart from that..... Apart from that.......... Oh dear...
This car is the spiritual successor to the old VW Bora. >>>The Ford Bora.

Long in length. Short in height. You don't need a spec sheet to recognize that's what she meant

This car is a crime against the Capri name, if this was named Cortina, Mondeo, it’d be an insult to those cars names too.
Yes
Actually changed my mind..it’d take a shoehorn to get that amount of money from me for that car, £42K for the lower range..
VW- can we flog you our haptic buttons? FORD- I guess so....do you have any proper buttons tho?
I’d rather have a VW. Or a Dacia. Or a second-hand Merc. Or pretty much anything…
I have no idea why it took me so long to get the Capri Sun connection.

Great video as usual but what’s with the audio? Anyone else feel it? Can’t work out if the speed felt like x2 or the jumpy sound it was distracting?
The PRICE!!! For that abomination 🤮

It's the Honda Prologue of Europe. Not really a Ford. But then again maybe that's a good thing.
FordWagen Mondeo GV62!

All press is good press
I'm oftentimes jealous of the EV's you get in Europe and UK. I don’t really care if this comes to USA.

Too bad for you I guess. You'll never buy a new car. Oh well... more cars for the rest of us.
£56000!!! In Australia you can get a new Ora Cat long range for £17500 ( less if you bargain). A far better car for south of France.
I tip me cap to you, mate 👍

It's as though ford had to produce an EV whatever just meet their mandates. And here it is folks .
Not a Capri. Just a sporty explorer. add in the awful VW switches....I can't see any sane person wanting one.
BUBBLEBEE?🤔
What. An. Ugly. Car.

I'm not impressed with how ford has gone to VW for their parts. The looks aren't great either big disappointment in my opinion.
Beautiful and funny person, ugly and expensive car. Nicola is the best!
So, its a bit crap then, and overpriced. Sad to see how Ford has lost its way and is just re-badging the worst of VW
It doesn’t really feel like a VW
@@oliverstemp9132 How would you know? regardless, it IS a VW.
It is a VW yes, but with better and longer-range Ford-specific batteries.

So basically, it’s a very nice car. Good job Ford. Yes, this is a Capri. I prefer the looks to its German counterparts
