AT 10AM ON A Saturday I slid into the semisporting front passenger seat of a new Ford Capri EV, the already controversial coupe-SUV the company launched moments ago and wants to sell in healthy numbers beside its sibling, the Explorer EV.

The car was extremely noticeable in the yellow hue the company has clearly chosen as its launch colour, and to my eyes it looked great. Big and tall - which is the cause of the controversy - but great. Roomy inside, too, just like the Explorer, with a minimum of showy architecture but a practical, quality feel. Very Fordish.
