Ford said Ford Philippines “is the first market in the company’s International Market Group (IMG) composed of nearly 100 markets around the world to offer the all-new Ford Territory, which would reinforce Ford’s presence in the small and mini-SUV segments in the country.”
Ford said it expects the new vehicle to “appeal to young professionals and small families with its segment-leading features and capabilities offered at a competitive price point.”

Various reports said the Ford Territory, which was originally released in Australia, is more like a crossover, sharing similar specifications with the Ford Explorer, although it is smaller.

Observers and industry insiders said the new vehicle would likely to have all the technology bells and whistles as far as entertainment is concerned, featuring a massive touchscreen dashboard.
As for power engine, the new vehicle is expected to have a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine.
