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.

When talking about what features will make it stand out however, the Ford Territory will be equipped with an active parking assist system, which will enable the Territory to park itself. It even has a parallel parking function, as well as a perpendicular parking function.

Note that the only other crossovers in the Philippines that come with a similar feature is the BMW X5, which is luxurious but pricey, and the Geely Coolray which is a subcompact crossover so it probably won’t compete against the Territory at all.
