What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Ford Capri
Style Standard Range 58kWh
Owners love
- Owners report realistic ranges of 300 miles or more and good efficiency, especially on the rear-wheel-drive car.
- It is comfortable and easy to drive, with light steering and a good driving position.
- The boot is large and the cabin roomy for a coupe-SUV, so it works as a family car.
Watch out for
- The FordPass app is slow to connect and less capable than rival apps.
- The infotainment menus are jumbled, and the touch-sensitive steering wheel buttons draw criticism.
- There are no physical climate controls.
Owner tips
- Try the FordPass app before you buy if you rely on remote charging and preconditioning.
- Use phone mirroring for navigation rather than the built-in menus.
Jaguar I-Pace
EV400 S
Owners love
- Owners love the way it drives: very quick, with excellent grip and handling for its weight.
- The air suspension and adaptive dampers give a smooth, flat ride, and the cabin is quiet and comfortable.
- Real-world range of 220-250 miles in mild weather and around 200 in winter is typical, with very low running costs on a home tariff.
Watch out for
- Some owners report 12V battery problems that trigger a cascade of warning messages, plus heater and power-module failures.
- Rapid charging is slower than newer rivals and tapers as the battery fills.
- Several owners report slow dealer diagnosis and long waits for repairs.
Owner tips
- Deal with any 12V battery warning promptly, as it can trigger other faults.
- Keep the car under warranty, or buy an extended warranty, because some repairs are very expensive.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Jaguar I-Pace worth the extra £29,365 over the Ford Capri?
The Jaguar I-Pace costs £29,365 more than the Ford Capri. For that premium it adds 84 litres more boot space, 154 kW more power and a 3.2s quicker 0-62mph time. 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 Jaguar I-Pace?
The Ford Capri is £29,365 cheaper to buy. The Ford Capri is cheaper to charge, roughly £168 a year versus £208 for the Jaguar I-Pace, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Ford Capri comes out roughly £29,565 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 Jaguar I-Pace like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 193 miles for the Ford Capri and 244 miles for the Jaguar I-Pace - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Jaguar I-Pace goes roughly 51 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Ford Capri or the Jaguar I-Pace?
The two are within 23 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 528 mm of total clearance for the Ford Capri and about 505 mm of total clearance for the Jaguar I-Pace. The Ford Capri also turns in a 1.1 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 Jaguar I-Pace?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Ford Capri and 84% for the Jaguar I-Pace. That gives the Ford Capri a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Ford Capri's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Jaguar I-Pace's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
