The Ford Capri and Ford Explorer is now even better value-for-money at the entry point to the range following a substantial increase in electric range for both.
Applying exclusively to the Standard Range versions of the Ford Capri and Ford Explorer – also the most affordable options in the respective line-ups – the upgrade has been made possible by a new solution to battery efficiency.
It means the Standard Range Capri sees its durability increase from 243-miles to 288-miles, while the larger Explorer SUV’s range rises from 233-miles to 276-miles.
Better still, by swapping from nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) to litihium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry, not only do the entry Capri and Explorer go further, they’re also 10 per cent more powerful too.
Despite the notable step forward in terms of the range, the Capri/Explorer in Extended Range trim offers the most generous mileage, peaking at 379-miles for the former and 374-miles for the latter.
Prices for the revised models haven’t been confirmed as yet, but the Explorer and Capri Standard Range wear a price tag of £35,285 and £37,485 respectively in its current specification.
