Compared variants: Extended Range RWD vs Pro+
Updated April 2026
Data shown is approximate and based on publicly available specifications and real-world estimates. For models with multiple battery versions, this page compares the variants listed above. Actual performance varies with driving conditions, temperature, state of charge, and charger hardware. Always check the manufacturer specification page and your vehicle's manual for official figures.

Quick verdict
The Smart #5 has the higher published DC charging figure at 200 kW, but the published charge-time data matters more for road-trip stops. The Ford Capri is listed at about 26 minutes versus 28 minutes for the Smart #5. The Ford Capri is more efficient at approximately 168 Wh/km. The Ford Capri offers more WLTP rated range at 572 km.
Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Ford Capri | Smart #5 |
|---|---|---|
| Compared variant | Extended Range RWD | Pro+ |
| Battery (approx.) | ~79 kWh | ~96 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~572 km | ~550 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~168 Wh/km | ~202 Wh/km |
| DC fast charging (published) | up to 185 kW | up to 200 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~26 min | ~28 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 22 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Smart #5 has the higher published DC charging figure at 200 kW, which is roughly 8% higher than the Ford Capri at 185 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the Ford Capri is listed at about 26 minutes, which is 2 minutes quicker than the Smart #5 at 28 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Ford Capri has a WLTP rated range of approximately 572 km, which is roughly 22 km more than the Smart #5 at approximately 550 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Ford Capri consumes 168 Wh/km, compared to 202 Wh/km for the Smart #5. That means the Ford Capri uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Ford Capri has approximately 79 kWh of useable battery , while the Smart #5 has approximately 96 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
The Smart #5 has the higher published DC figure at up to 200 kW, but the Ford Capri has the shorter published charge time at approximately 26 minutes versus approximately 28 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Smart #5 supports up to 22 kW, compared to up to 11 kW for the Ford Capri. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Ford Capri is the more efficient choice at 168 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Ford Capri has a WLTP rated range of approximately 572 km, which is roughly 22 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
