The next-generation Ford Territory showed that it’s still one of the most popular vehicles in the Philippines. It registered 5,000 units sold last October since the compact crossover debuted at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) last April 2023.
But, what makes the next-gen Ford Territory a popular choice among car buyers in the Philipines? Well, members of the Next-Gen Ford Territory Owners Club, through an online poll, shared the top five features that make the said five-seater compact crossover a standout.
Elegant and Spacious Interior
Among the features of the next-gen Territory, the premium and spacious interiors stood out the most among club members.
“The layout is neat and well-thought of with an emphasis on elegance and spaciousness.
Both driver and passengers are treated to generous leg and headroom–ensuring a comfortable journey for all,” says Alfred Gabilla, a technology operations lead who owns a next-gen Territory Titanium X.
“It is premium, modern, and very spacious. Ford didn’t cut corners,” adds Esmammer Guerrero, a seafarer, describing the interiors of his 2023 Territory Titanium.
360-Degree Camera
Next-gen Ford Territory owners also highly appreciate its 360-degree camera with split view. It helps them navigate through blind spots and tight spaces which give them confidence while driving.
“Maneuvering in busy streets is a breeze with this feature,” shares Gabilla. “As a new driver and first-time car owner, the 360-degree camera is a great feature because it really helps me navigate narrow roads safely,” says Guerrero.
12-Inch Touchscreen and Smart Connectivity
Another helpful feature for owners is the Territory’s 12-inch Colored Touchscreen with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity.
“It offers a convenient one-stop-shop for all our needs. We can split the screen according to our preferences, and the navigation is user-friendly. Fast access and toggling between screens for maps, music, and messages are seamless, making our driving experience more enjoyable,” says Gabilla.
Blind Spot Information System
Both old and new drivers who have the next-gen Territory appreciate its Blind Spot Information System. With ever-changing road conditions, owners say it gives them a safer and more secure feeling on the road.
“On a road full of buses, jeepneys, tricycles and motorcycles, the Blind Spot Information System adds an extra layer of safety and security. Audible alerts and visual notifications keep us aware of our surroundings,” says Gabilla.
As a new driver, Guerrero says the feature also helps his road awareness as he encounters different conditions. “I’m confident that our Territory will assist me every time to be safe on the road,” he shares.
