Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Ford Capri or the Kia EV4?
The Kia EV4 is £2,240 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £144 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Kia EV4 comes out roughly £2,360 cheaper overall.

What are the Ford Capri and Kia EV4 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 193 miles for the Ford Capri and 226 miles for the Kia EV4 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Kia EV4 goes roughly 33 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 25-31 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Ford Capri or the Kia EV4?
The two are within 12 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 540 mm of total clearance for the Kia EV4 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 Kia EV4?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Ford Capri and 89% for the Kia EV4. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. The Ford Capri's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Kia EV4's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
