Ford Capri review - Interior & comfort

While the Ford Capri may borrow lots of its switchgear from Volkswagen, Ford has at least done a good job of disguising that fact for the most part. It uses the same interior design as the Ford Explorer (essentially the Capri is the coupe-SUV version of that car). That’s no bad thing, though – everything feels well built, functional and modern. Despite what you might expect, though, there are no overt retro-inspired homages to the original Capri here.

Quality is good, and perhaps as a result of Volkswagen’s collaboration, it all feels solid. There are lots of soft-touch plastics used around the cabin, and synthetic leather on the seats feels durable, yet sumptuous.

Is the Ford Capri infotainment and navigation system easy to use?

The infotainment screen on the Capri’s dashboard is a massive 14.6 inches in size and is pretty easy to use. The software is responsive and after a little time it’s easy to get used to everything’s place on the system, making it intuitive. 

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, so there’s always the option to connect your phone and use those familiar systems should you prefer. 

While we’d rather have physical controls, the climate functions are at least permanently accessible, as well as other key functions.

Is the Ford Capri well equipped?

The Ford Capri isn’t the best equipped at this price range, but it’s by no means spartan. You get a choice between two trims called Select and Premium for Extended Range AWD models, while the Extended Range RWD can only be had in the base Select trim. It’s good that features like wireless smartphone charging are included, but we found this to be painfully slow to charge and often stopped working properly.
