Coming to the Philippines around next month, the Ford Territory is set to redefine Ford’s position in the compact crossover segment. To do just that, the American marque gave the Territory several key features that’ll make it stand out among the competition like the Nissan X-Trail, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, and Geely Azkarra.

Under the hood, the Ford Territory will be propelled by a 1.5-liter inline EcoBoost engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is quite different from the Mitsubishi Orion engine that’s equipped to the China-spec model.
Ford is yet to reveal the official output numbers, but based on the Chinese-spec Territory, the one we’re getting might be able to make up to 137 horsepower and 225 Nm of torque. According to Ford, the 1.5-liter engine and the CVT have been built for fuel economy and reliability, and smooth driving experience in mind.
