Ford Explorer EV
VS
The Ford Capri is a cheeky, analogue icon that rewards you with pure-driver thrills, whereas the Ford Explorer EV is a spacious, gadget-rich electric SUV built for practicality and long-distance calm.

The Ford Capri is pure 1970s charisma — a lightweight, analogue coupe that thrills with raw charm and classic looks but asks you to forgive creature comforts, modern safety tech and everyday reliability. By contrast the Ford Mustang Mach‑E slaps Mustang attitude onto an electric, family-friendly SUV with instant torque, roomy practicality and up‑to‑date tech, so if you want future‑proof performance the Mach‑E is the smarter, cleaner way to wear a pony badge.
