The Ford Territory is a mid-size SUV, which is currently in its second generation and was conceived by the JMC-Ford alliance in China primarily for the Asian car markets, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Ford Territory is available in KSA with three variants – Ambiente, Trend and Titanium, with colour choices like Panther Black, Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, Autumn Brown Metallic, Tru Blue Metallic, Star White Metallic Tri-coat, Diffused Silver Metallic and Crystal Pearl White Metallic Tricoat.

Exterior:

In this third-generation version, the Ford Territory took a huge leap over its predecessor, gaining larger proportions and a fancier design language, making it look more premium than before. At the front, the Ford Territory has an octagonal grille with a gloss black finish for the sides and lower garnish and a chrome strip at the top. Beyond the upper edges of the grille, there are unique-looking LED DRLs, with the Territory featuring a split arrangement for the headlamps that are positioned a bit lower as a part of the C-shaped housings on the corners of the front bumper.

With smooth curves that look like extensions of the front bonnet, the Ford Territory gets wheel arch mouldings, door claddings and roof rails, all of which combine to give it the rugged look of an SUV. The chrome inserts on the door handles, 19-inch machined alloy wheels, door-mounted rearview mirrors and window surrounds further add to the premium appeal of the Territory.

The clean-looking boot lid of the Ford Territory has the name of the vehicle in the middle, while the LED combination lamps are placed on the sides. The rear bumper also has a rugged appearance with cladding all over it, with the Territory also featuring a roof-mounted spoiler with integrated LED brake light.

Interior:

Compared to its predecessor, the interior of the third-generation Ford Territory looks and feels much fresher, with new-age design elements. The dual-tone black and beige leather upholstery with faux wood and satin chrome layers and inserts add to the rich experience of the cabin.

The four-spoke multi-functional steering wheel of the Ford Territory, which is both tilt and telescopic adjustable, has a huge rounded rectangular full-TFT cockpit that accommodates 12-inch screens – one each for the instrument console and touchscreen infotainment system. The middle layer of the dashboard has sleek AC vents, while the lower centre console has sleek-looking buttons for climate control.

The cabin of the Ford Territory has vast space on offer, with it offering a lot of contemporary features like a wireless charger, push start-stop button, dual-zone automatic climate control, panoramic sunroof, wireless charger and cooled front seats. However, for the price, it could have had more premium features. The enhanced dimensions of the Territory have also liberated more space in the boot compartment, with the Territory offering a massive boot space of 448 litres.

Engine and performance:

All three variants of the Ford Territory are powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine. Paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, this engine produces a maximum power output of 190 PS and a maximum torque output of 320 Nm.

Comfort and suspension:

With Macpherson struts at the front and an independent multi-link setup at the rear, the Ford Territory offers a well-cushioned ride quality, especially at higher speeds. However, the light steering feedback is very different from those of the conventional Ford offerings, making the overall driving experience quite less enthusiastic.

Braking and safety:

Besides having essential amenities like front, side and curtain airbags, ABS with EBD, hill start assist, rear parking sensors and camera, ESC, traction control and cruise control, the Ford Territory is also available with a pack of ADAS features like blind spot information system, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and lane keep aid.

Conclusion:

For its price, the Ford Territory is a well-rounded package, with a smart road presence, spacious cabin and comfortable ride quality, though lacking a few crucial modern features and the driving appeal of traditional Fords.
