I've been driving the new Capri for two weeks now. It looks fantastic, runs smoothly and has plenty of punch. The interior's been modernised throughout and the software is rock‑solid. Range is good, too. I'm really pleasantly surprised.

It delivers a comfortable ride, intuitive tech and smart use of space, making it a good choice if you want SUV looks without the bulk of a larger vehicle.

Great car for city and short-distance driving. Solid interior and chic design. Even the 95 hp version is adequately powered.
