Best new Fords coming soon

The new, somewhat controversial Ford Capri has been drawing lots of attention, but it’s not the only thing coming soon from Ford

Ford may have axed the Mondeo in 2022, the Fiesta in 2023, and confirmed that the Focus will also be reaching the end of line this year, but there are some new arrivals coming to the Blue Oval’s European line-up very soon. Here are all of the ones we know about to keep you in the loop.

Ford Capri

The Ford Capri is back, but not like you may remember it. Rather using the iconic nameplate for a two-door coupé or sports car, it’s been controversially revived for a zero-emissions coupé-SUV heavily based on the all-new Ford Explorer. That includes some of the key body panels, much of the interior layout and the platform, which is actually the Volkswagen Group’s MEB architecture used by the Skoda Enyaq, Volkswagen ID.4 and many others.

Right now, two versions of the Capri are available to order. Both are powered by a 77kWh battery, but the ‘Extended Range RWD’ uses a single 282bhp e-motor, which allows for up to 390 miles of range. The ‘Extended Range AWD’ gets a dual-motor set-up and 335bhp, allowing for 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds, but limits the range to 348 miles. Prices currently start from £48,075.

Ford Fiesta

Ford without the Fiesta is like having baked beans but not on toast. It’s just weird. Thankfully, there’s a possibility Britain’s beloved supermini could return, using the platform and technology from the new £17k Volkswagen ID.1 – the same way the Capri uses the underpinnings from the VW ID.4 and other models. This would mean the next Ford Fiesta would be electric, but we’re sure a hot ST version would go some way to make up for that.

Ford Mustang

Few last hurrahs will be able to match the one planned for the Ford Mustang. Likely to be the last petrol-guzzing version of the famous muscle car, the latest Mustang is offered exclusively with 5.0-litre V8 firepower, producing 439bhp in base form and 446bhp in the high-performance Dark Horse version. So the new model’s exhaust note sounds reassuringly old-school, then.

The new Mustang is available with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a 10-speed automatic – and those choosing three pedals get rev-matching on downshifts as standard, for perfect V8 exhaust blips. Other features include a mechanical limited-slip differential, adaptive suspension and a thoroughly modern interior with two large displays. The Dark Horse edition gets a different six-speed ’box from Tremec, unique suspension geometry, a Torsen limited-slip diff, extra chassis bracing and Brembo brakes.

Ford Mustang GTD

Before you make the same joke everyone does, no, this is not a diesel. This is Ford’s most extreme version of the new Mustang, packing a supercharged 5.2-litre V8 that’s expected to pump out over 800bhp, revs to 7,500rpm and sends all that firepower to the rear wheels only via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car even uses some technology banned from international motorsport, but all of that comes at a price: £315,000.

Ford Puma Gen-E

The Ford Puma laid claim to the title of the UK’s best-selling car some time ago and has refused to relinquish it, so the decision to make an all-electric version of the fantastic small SUV and broaden its appeal even further probably took all of about five minutes. Officially called the Ford Puma Gen-E – we’re not sure why, though – it’s a rival to the Jeep Avenger, Skoda Elroq and many others.

The only obvious visual difference for the EV is a blanked-off grille panel, with a Mustang Mach-E-inspired black moustache. Although not a bespoke EV, it still manages to squeeze 43 litres of storage under the bonnet, plus has a huge 523-litre boot with a 145-litre ‘GigaBox’ compartment. The Gen-E’s 43kWh battery is relatively small, but provides 233 miles of range, or up to 325 miles if you stick to city streets and presumably utilise the one-pedal driving capability. Prices start from £29,995.

Ford Ranger PHEV

The hugely capable Ford Ranger is only available with diesel power at the moment, but there’s a new plug-in hybrid version coming that will hopefully address the best-selling pick-up truck’s uneconomical reputation. The first-ever Ranger PHEV uses an 11.8kWh battery that Ford says is good for up to 27 miles of pure-electric driving, or can be used to power tools and appliances – ideal if you’re caught short of power on a work site. The maximum towing capacity of 3,500kg is impressive too, because it’s the same as the diesel models.
