Iconic Ford nameplate will return on MEB-based crossover<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The new Ford Capri is well on its way to showrooms, with pre-production prototypes now on the road revealing what the new EV could look like when it arrives next year. It\u2019ll follow reboots of other iconic nameplates, such as Explorer and Puma, by adopting a new crossover style, thanks to Ford\u2019s European partnership with Volkswagen, and the German company\u2019s MEB platform under the skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Visible right from the off are typical proportions associated with the MEB platform. This means the Capri has a wide track, a long wheelbase and short overhangs, with large wheels and wheel arches. Clearly visible beneath the camouflage is its sloping roofline and upright tail, with the overall proportions not dissimilar to the upcoming Cupra Tavascan, which also sits on the MEB architecture.\u00a0<\/p>\n
