The PH-spec Ford Territory will have impressive tech
Ford Philippines has just announced some of the noteworthy specifications of the soon to be launched Territory compact SUV. The new model will fill in the gap left by the Escape when its sales were discontinued in the country a few years ago.
The company says that the Territory is set to redefine the SUV segment in the market as a spacious, feature-packed, and competitively-priced SUV with Ford DNA at its core.
First is the dimensions. The all-new Ford Territory is 4,600 mm long, 1,900 mm wide, and 1,700 mm tall. It will be powered by a 1.5L EcoBoost engine paired to a continuously variable transmission which should allow a refined and efficient driving experience. It should also allow customers to experience lower service maintenance costs with a once-a-year scheduled service interval instead of the usual twice a year.
The Territory once launched will be available in two variants: the Trend and Titanium. It also looks like it will be very competitive in terms of tech features. It will come equipped with a 360-degree camera, Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Park Assist or self parking with parallel and segment-first perpendicular parking function, leather power adjust seats with cooling function, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with multi-view function, and wireless charging. The all-new Ford Territory also comes equipped with a panoramic moonroof, as well as 18-inch alloy wheels.
“With the Ford DNA ingrained in its design, quality, and capability, the all-new Ford Territory is designed and engineered following Ford’s highest global quality standards to deliver an all-in-one SUV package that will deliver great value to Filipino customers looking for a stylish, spacious and technologically-advanced SUV,” says PK Umashankar, managing director, Ford Philippines.
The Philippines is the first market in Ford’s International Market Group (IMG), composed of nearly 100 markets around the world, to offer the all-new Ford Territory. Its upcoming launch will allow Ford to reinforce its presence in the small and mini-SUV segments in the country.
There is no news yet on the exact launch date for the Ford Territory as well as pricing. We do know that it will be launched by August 2020 and since its engine displacement is at 1.5-liters, it can take full advantage of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement which will surely allow it to be priced competitively.
