It’s not only about getting from point A to B, but getting there in style. Be fast and fashionable with the new Ford Territory that arrives on local shores in May.
Ford’s new Territory, a stylish five-seater SUV, is not only a pure pleasure to drive, but it gets you safely to your destination. With four flexible drive modes and a seven-speed automatic transmission, you have the power of greater performance on the road.
Here is a sneak peek at what you can expect from this affordable and comfortable new Territory:
1. Goldilocks size
The Ford Puma might be too small for family adventures and the Everest a little too big for city slickers, but the Territory fits perfectly between these two. It is ideal if you’re looking to upgrade to your first SUV, or if you need a larger vehicle to accommodate your family’s growing needs.
2. Plenty of space
Whether you’re carrying the kids’ hockey gear, bringing gardening supplies home from the nursery, or loading up for a family vacation, the Territory offers more than enough space. The spacious legroom in the 3-seater second row will make even your tallest passengers comfortable. The boot offers up to 448 litres of storage space with all seats in use. And if you need more room for the kids’ bikes, the space can be expanded to 1 422 litres with the 60/40 split rear seats folded completely flat for bulkier items.
3. Storage space
Over and above the cargo space, there are 20 smaller storage areas dotted around the inside of the Territory. The area underneath the dashboard is the perfect place to safely store a handbag or other must-have items when driving.
4. Touchscreen infotainment
A 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen is nestled into the soft-touch instrument panel across all models. It helps declutter the cabin by moving vehicle controls onto the touchscreen, eliminating the panic of looking for the right button to push.
5. One engine to power them all
Feel like the superwoman you are with the Territory’s 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost petrol engine. This engine gives you the powerful performance and fuel efficiency.
6. Three models
Choose between three available models: The affordable Ambiente starts the line-up, followed by the Trend, and then the top-of-the-range Titanium gives you a panoramic moonroof and LED interior lighting. The choice is yours!
7. Safety is standard
Along with all the power and luxury, you can also have peace of mind that your family will travel safely in the Territory. A total of six airbags are provided, and all models have electronic stability control with traction control, emergency brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution. Further comfort and ease are guaranteed with hill launch assist, hill descent control, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and rear parking sensors.
8. Connected lifestyle
Always stay charged on the go. Three USB ports are provided up front along with an extra USB port at the rear, and wireless charging is included on the Trend and Titanium models. A Bluetooth audio system is integrated into the centre touchscreen that provides wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Connectivity so you can connect your phone and jam to your favourite hits.
9. Progressive design
You will turn heads with the Territory’s signature light effect created by the frond-end framed by the integrated grille and distinctive LED daytime running lights. The strong corners with integrated main lamps also enhance the Territory’s look of readiness, purpose, and stability.
10. Affordable prices
Whether you choose the Territory Ambiente, Territory Trend or Territory Titanium, you have the option of an inclusive service plan. Prices start at R576 000. Who says money can’t buy happiness?
Don’t dread driving. Get into a new Ford Territory with all the bells and whistles you didn’t even know you wanted, but definitely need.
