Frequently asked questions
Is the Deepal S05 worth the extra £3,010 over the Ford Capri?
The Deepal S05 costs £3,010 more than the Ford Capri. For that premium it adds 95 kW faster peak rapid charging, 180 kW more power and a 2.5s quicker 0-62mph time. The Ford Capri is not just cheaper - it also offers 80 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Deepal S05 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Deepal S05 or the Ford Capri?
The Ford Capri is £3,010 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Ford Capri comes out roughly £3,010 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Deepal S05 and Ford Capri like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 231 miles for the Deepal S05 and 193 miles for the Ford Capri - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Deepal S05 goes roughly 39 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 15 minutes in the Deepal S05 and 25 in the Ford Capri, so the Deepal S05 loses less time at each stop. That makes the Deepal S05 the stronger long-distance car.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Deepal S05 or the Ford Capri?
The two are within 28 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 528 mm of total clearance for the Ford Capri and about 500 mm of total clearance for the Deepal S05.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Deepal S05 or the Ford Capri?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Deepal S05 and 90% for the Ford Capri. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use LFP-type cells, which are happy charged to 100% every day.
