With a wide array of features and advanced technologies, the Ford Territory is one of the most popular SUVs plying through local roads today. The Next-Generation Territory, launched in April last year, is creating a steady following among young drivers and small families, thanks to its standout design, premium interiors, efficient performance, and improved driving experience.
As a dynamically-designed and efficiently-engineered Ford SUV that follows the highest global quality standards, the Territory has been put to an extensive evaluation journey before bringing it across markets globally. Vehicle prototypes with various specifications were tested on different terrains to guarantee that it can withstand local road conditions and varying temperatures.
“The Ford Territory was built for young and connected individuals and starting families. Filipino customers will find that its combination of modern design and advanced features deliver on the day-to-day driving conditions they will encounter on our roads,” said Mike Breen, managing director, Ford Philippines.
Safety on the road
The Ford Territory gives drivers added confidence with an array of safety features that fit local driving conditions such as:
- BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert (BLIS) includes enhanced blind spot-monitoring–offering another pair of technological eyes when performing a lane change or merging on the highway. If a fast-moving car enters the Territory’s blind spot zone for example, BLIS will alert the driver via a small light in the side mirror together with audible sound as a caution before switching lanes. This features will prove to be useful when traversing local highways.
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with a Stop-and-Go Feature (Titanium X) lets drivers set a cruising speed for the Territory to follow while maintaining a set distance from the vehicle ahead. Should the car in front decide to suddenly stop or turn to fast-food drive-thru (which happens a lot on busy days), the Territory will come to a full stop if needed.
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) uses both the wide-view windshield-mounted camera and radar located near the front bumper to scan the road ahead for potential collisions–fit for unpredictable local driving conditions with crisscrossing motorcycles, walking pedestrians, and quick lane switching vehicles are a daily occurrence.
If an imminent collision is detected, the system emits an audible and visual warning. If the driver doesn’t respond in time, the AEB system activates automatically.
- Auto High Beam activates the high beam function of the Territory’s headlights when it detects the vehicle being in dimly lit roads.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is especially useful to let the driver know if one of the tires is low on pressure, ensuring safety and confidence in driving.
Cool amid year-round summer
The Territory remains cool inside despite sweltering temperatures outside. Both the Titanium and Titanium X variants are equipped with Dual Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control that adjusts to keep passengers comfortable despite the heavy traffic on the road.
The Territory is also equipped with a particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) air cabin filter, an extra layer of protection for both driver and passengers against dust and allergens–always ensuring high air quality in the cabin.
Practical power and efficient performance
Under the hood of the Territory is an EcoBoost 1.5L engine that is capable of up to 248Nm of torque and power of up to 160PS. Mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission with Ford’s wet-type Dual Clutch engagement system, drivers will find it easy to quickly accelerate on open expressways with improved fuel efficiency. The Territory also has an auto-start stop function, which helps keep more in its tank during stop-and-go traffic.
Comfort and convenience anytime
The Territory is also equipped with comfort and convenience features that make it easy to drive especially on busy roads in the city. These include Wireless Charging and Wireless Apple Carplay® and Android Auto™ capability, as well as Perforated and Ventilated Leather seats for the Titanium X.
Capability anywhere
The Territory also has a high ground clearance of 190mm, giving drivers peace of mind during mild floods as well easily going through pothole filled roads. It also has four selectable drive modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, and Mountain–giving Pinoy drivers the ability to tailor their driving experience across a range of situations–whether driving in stop and go traffic, across the open highway, or on hilly terrain.
