Ford has brought the next-generation Territory to the Philippines recently, expanding its roster of “next-gen” models, which includes nameplates like the Ranger and Everest.
That said, many car buyers were intrigued to see what variants Ford's compact crossover would come in. On that note, we’re going to take a look at the two available grades of the next-gen Territory here in the country, to help car buyers make a better decision about what variant best suits their budget, style, and motoring needs.
The Titanium variant of the next-gen Ford Territory sports a redesigned honeycomb grille flanked by LED headlights with automatic on-and-off feature, LED daytime running lights, and front fog lamps.
To its side are chrome door handles, aluminum roof rails, and a set of 18-inch alloy wheels.
Its rear boasts a pair of LED taillights, a spoiler with a high-mount stop lamp, and a manual liftgate.
Inside, the base Titanium variant comes with a 12-inch colored touchscreen infotainment system, a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, partial leather perforated seats, a dual-zone electronic automatic air conditioning system, and a wireless charging pad.
Connectivity features come in the form of voice recognition, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
It gets six speakers, which play decent audio.
Power comes from a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission with a rotary e-shifter. This setup makes around 157 horsepower and 248 Newton-meters of torque.
Standard safety features and driver-assist technology for the Titanium trim include seatbelts and airbags, ISOFIX tethers, a tire pressure monitoring system, cruise control, active park assist, a blind spot information system with rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, as well as a high-definition 360-degree camera.
The range-topping Titanium X variant of the Ford Territory builds on the standard features of the base-model Titanium variant.
Outside, it gets 19-inch wheels, a hands-free liftgate, puddle lamps, and a panoramic moonroof.
Inside, it earns ventilated seats, leather perforated seats, a larger instrument cluster (12 inches), an air anion generator with PM2.5 monitoring, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a useful package tray.
Additionally, the interior of the Titanium X grade has a lighter color compared to the Titanium variant. Plus, its speakers also get bumped to eight, which improves the occupants’ in-car audio experience.
Power is retained as both variants use the same powertrain setup.
Safety-wise, it bolsters its available features with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, auto high beam, forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane keeping aid, and a collision mitigation system.
Titanium – P1.335 million.
Titanium X – P1.599 million.
Long-time Ford fans might be surprised to see that the local arm of the Blue Oval brand is no longer offering the Trend variant. Unfortunately, the carmaker silently pulled out the trim from its roster not too long ago.
Nevertheless, the two remaining models still prove to be value-packed variants tailored for Filipino motorists and car buyers.
