Frequently asked questions
Is the Ford Mustang Mach-E worth the extra £13,855 over the Ford Capri?
The Ford Mustang Mach-E costs £13,855 more than the Ford Capri. For that premium it adds 45 kW faster peak rapid charging, 57 kW more power and a 1.3s quicker 0-62mph time. The Ford Capri is not just cheaper - it also offers 170 litres more boot space and lower energy use, 156 versus 179 Wh/km. 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 Ford Mustang Mach-E?
The Ford Capri is £13,855 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Ford Capri comes out roughly £13,975 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 Ford Mustang Mach-E like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 193 miles for the Ford Capri and 210 miles for the Ford Mustang Mach-E - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Ford Mustang Mach-E goes roughly 17 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 25-32 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Ford Capri or the Ford Mustang Mach-E?
The Ford Capri is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 58 mm narrower than the Ford Mustang Mach-E. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 528 mm of total clearance for the Ford Capri and about 470 mm of total clearance for the Ford Mustang Mach-E. The Ford Capri also turns in a 0.7 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Ford Capri or the Ford Mustang Mach-E?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Ford Capri and 90% for the Ford Mustang Mach-E. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use LFP-type cells, which are happy charged to 100% every day. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
