The new generation of Ford Capri

The new 2024 Ford Capri EV gives the impression that Ford can’t say goodbye to the Volvo brand it owned until 2010. The fact is that the design of the new Ford Capri 2024 in profile is almost the same as the Polestar 2 car: 

• body proportions: the ratio of the base to the overhangs, the total length of the body to its height, the ratio of the length of the hood to the trunk;
• the roof line and the shape of the trunk (very short, tall and upturned);
• the shape of the window sill line, which is rounded in the area of ​​the rear door rack;
• straight black pillars of the windshield and black inconspicuous mirrors;
• huge round wheel arches with black, probably plastic overlays;
• black overlays along the perimeter of the car (base and bumpers);

The front of the new Ford Capri is reminiscent of the first Capri generation. The classic round headlights of the old Capri have been replaced with modern LEDs. In the new Capri EV, the front plastic lining and headlights are combined into one element, which is also reminiscent of the first generation of Capri. Ford also concaved the hood of the capri in the center, which brought the design of the Сapri EV even closer to the original Сapri.

Conclusion: The new Ford Capri 2024 is a fairly successful car in design with design elements that are reminiscent of the original Capri. However, Ford made the mistake of making it a crossover. The new Ford Capri was supposed to be a 2-door coupe.
