Ford’s new Territory will go on sale in the coming weeks in South Africa.
The new model will be building on the success of the outgoing model with enhanced design, smart technology and an even stronger value proposition for local customers, Ford claims.
“Territory has always been about empowering young, dynamic families to get the most out of every day,” says Sunil Sewmohan, Director of Product Marketing, Ford South Africa. “With the new Territory, comfort and smart technology come to the fore. It’s everything our customers have asked for, and more.”
Power comes from Ford’s 1.8-litre turbocharged EcoBoost petrol engine, delivering 138kW and 318Nm, paired with a smooth and responsive seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Multiple drive modes, adaptive cruise control - on Trend and Titanium derivatives - and Auto Start-Stop technology ensure the Territory is equally at home on daily commutes and longer journeys.
For the first time, Ford app connectivity will be available, allowing owners to remotely interact with their vehicle via their smartphone. Exclusive exterior paint options called Cactus Grey and Oasis Green, on all variants, further enhance its premium appeal.
The prices are: Territory Ambiente 1.8L EcoBoost 7AT (R534 900), Territory Trend 1.8L EcoBoost 7AT (R584 900) and the Territory Titanium 1.8L EcoBoost 7AT (R643 900).
