The first-generation Chinese-made Territory was introduced during the 2018 Chengdu Auto Show in September 2018. It is based on the JMC-developed Yusheng S330 which was introduced for the Chinese market in 2016. [3] The Territory went on sale in early 2019, with Ford China classifying it as an entry-level compact SUV in between the EcoSport and Escape.

The model is assembled at JMC Ford's plant in Nanchang, China. [6] [7] Despite not being offered in the Australian market, Ford Australia had input in the design and development of the new Territory. Ride, handling, and NVH were tuned at Ford's Geelong Proving Grounds in Australia and in Nanjing, China. [8]

The Ford Territory was given a mild refresh in early 2020 prior to its introduction in export markets. Changes to the Territory include a gloss black grille with a new pattern and restyled LED taillights. [9]

From China, the model has been exported throughout South America and several left-hand drive Southeast Asian markets. The Territory was introduced in Brazil and Argentina on 7 August 2020, [10] with units arriving at Ford dealerships in Brazil in September 2020. [11] Pre-sale of the Territory in Chile began in the second half of August 2020 with deliveries in mid-September 2020. [12] In August 2020, it made its debut in the Philippine market, [13] [14] and in Laos in December 2020. [15] The model was also released in Vietnam on 11 April 2021. [16]

Powertrain

The Territory is powered by a 1.5-litre EcoBoost 145 based on the JX4G15 gasoline engine developed by JMC and AVL. Ford of Europe also helped in developing the powerplant. [8] This engine features Miller cycle, and produces 138 hp (140 PS; 103 kW) and 225 N⋅m (22.9 kg⋅m; 166 lb⋅ft) of torque.

In Argentina, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Chile, and Vietnam, the Territory's 1.5 turbo is rated at 141 hp (143 PS; 105 kW) and 225 N⋅m (22.9 kg⋅m; 166 lb⋅ft) of torque, [17] [14] [18] [19] while in Brazil, it is rated at 148 hp (150 PS; 110 kW) and 225 N⋅m (22.9 kg⋅m; 166 lb⋅ft) of torque. [20] A 48V mild-hybrid version is available in China.

Territory EV

In August 2019, Ford released an electric version of the Territory in China. It uses a 120 kW (160 hp; 160 PS) electric motor, a liquid-cooled battery of 49.14 kWh and 360 km (220 mi) of NEDC range. [21]

Safety recalls

On 19 February 2021, Ford Philippines issued a recall on the Territory due to a faulty electric battery sensor or EBS bracket together with the wiring harness attached to the bracket. [22]

Predecessor Ford Escape (fourth generation) (Middle East)

In May 2022, Ford introduced the second-generation Territory. Also produced in China by JMC Ford, it is the export market name of the Chinese market Equator Sport, a two-row version of the Equator. [27] While it is based on the previous generation Territory underpinnings, Ford heavily updated its exterior styling to align it with Ford's global design language. [28]

For the 1.5-litre EcoBoost engine option, the power output received a 17 PS (17 hp; 13 kW) increase to 160 PS (158 hp; 118 kW). Ford also replaced the CVT gearbox from the previous generation in favour of a 7-speed wet dual-clutch automatic gearbox. [29]
