What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Ford Capri
Select Standard Range 52kWh (2024-25)
Owners love
- Owners praise the range and efficiency, with around 300 miles a realistic figure for the Extended Range in good weather.
- It is easy and relaxing to drive, with good adaptive cruise control for motorway trips.
- The big boot, hidden storage behind the sliding screen and the foot-swipe tailgate are well liked.
Watch out for
- The styling and the reuse of the Capri name divide opinion, though this is a looks debate rather than an ownership problem.
- There is no rear wiper, and the fastback rear window limits rear visibility in rain.
- Some owners miss a right-hand footrest and find the seats firm.
Owner tips
- Use an off-peak home charging tariff to get the biggest savings.
- Use cabin preconditioning every winter morning to clear the screens and warm the car.
Renault Scenic
Techno
Owners love
- Owners praise the comfort, quiet cabin and supple ride, even on 20-inch wheels.
- Real-world range is strong: about 300 miles in mild weather and around 3.2-3.6 miles per kWh, with good results on long European trips.
- The Google-based infotainment, physical controls and well-equipped base techno trim are rated highly.
Watch out for
- The My Renault app is unreliable: wrong information, crashes and failed remote commands.
- Winter and fast-motorway range fall well below WLTP (about 2.9 miles per kWh at 75 mph).
- Rapid charging sometimes peaks well below the 150 kW maximum.
Owner tips
- Check the car's exact spec for 22 kW charging, V2L and One Pedal rather than assuming by year.
- Check the tyre pressures against the door sticker; several cars were delivered well over spec.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Ford Capri worth the extra £5,080 over the Renault Scenic?
The Ford Capri costs £5,080 more than the Renault Scenic. On the headline specs that premium buys little measurable advantage - the two are closely matched on range, charging and space. The Renault Scenic is not just cheaper - it also offers 155 miles more WLTP range and 35 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Ford Capri comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Ford Capri or the Renault Scenic?
The Renault Scenic is £5,080 cheaper to buy. The Ford Capri is cheaper to charge, roughly £152 a year versus £184 for the Renault Scenic, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Renault Scenic comes out roughly £4,920 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Ford Capri and Renault Scenic like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 198 miles for the Ford Capri and 274 miles for the Renault Scenic - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Renault Scenic goes roughly 76 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Ford Capri or the Renault Scenic?
The two are within 8 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 536 mm of total clearance for the Renault Scenic and about 528 mm of total clearance for the Ford Capri.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Ford Capri or the Renault Scenic?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Ford Capri and 84% for the Renault Scenic. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
