Next-Generation Ford Territory: Price, availability in the Philippines
Creature comforts are just all over it!
The Ford Territory is back!
This time around, the fast-selling 5-seater SUV comes with the latest generation comprised of striking design, premium interiors, efficient performance, and smart technologies.
The Territory portfolio comes with a premium variant called the Territory Titanium X, offering a 5-year warranty or up to 150,000km (whichever comes first), the same as the Territory Titanium.
It’s a Ford vehicle through and through
The Next-Gen Ford Territory embodies Ford’s new design philosophy: commanding, responsive, and smart. The interiors and exterior exhibit the Ford DNA. Up front, you can easily see the integrated honeycomb grille, signature daytime running lamps, and full LED headlights.
Its contemporary design language is evident, exuding a youthful energy from its front to side, and even rear. It also boasts of 18-inch and 19-inch Alloy Wheels for Titanium and Titanium X, respectively. Adding a more premium feel, the Titanium X variant comes with a Panoramic Moonroof.
Inside, the Next-Gen Ford Territory houses a convenient yet sophisticated space. It evokes openness with its spacious interiors, along with a well-designed cabin with harmonious color arrays.
The combination of white and other color options created a unique aesthetic contrast, in harmony with its blue and dark wood tones.
Comfort at its best
If there’s anything that customers like about Ford’s vehicles, it’s the comfort felt by its drivers and passengers. The Titanium X comes with perforated and ventilated leather seats, with 10-way Power Adjust for the driver’s seat and 4-Way Manual Adjust for the passenger seat — in both variants.
The Titanium and Titanium X are also equipped with Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control. Its system will continuously check the air quality in the vehicle.
On another note, the Next-Gen Ford Territory comes with spacious storage compartments and a big trunk that can hold up to 448 liters.
Smart technologies are also incorporated to make the experience convenient and comfortable. A large 12-inch central touch screen is mounted in the center cabin, incorporating a 7-inch (Titanium) or 12-inch (Titanium X) digital instrument cluster supporting the driver with easier access to controls of all vehicle functions.
A rotary e-shifter also helps change gears with ease, while providing access to audio and other function controls in just a click.
Packed with creature comforts
Technology is at the heart of the Next-Gen Ford Territory. Inside, you can find wireless charging, USB Type-C and Type-A charging, Wireless Apple Carplay, and Android Auto capability. You can also find a center console with two cup holders, an adjustable tray, and a windscreen-mounted USB port for your dashcam.
It also comes with advanced Driver-Assist Technologies to enhance the driving experience.
These include, but are not limited to Active Park Assist to help in parallel and perpendicular parking; a 360-degree camera mounted on its front, rear, and sides; a Blind Spot Information System that helps in changing lanes or merging into a highway; Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go for Titanium X that helps maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead; and Autonomous Emergency Braking that detects a potential collision with another vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist in front of the vehicle.
Power in every drive
The Next-Gen Ford Territory houses an EcoBoost 1.5L engine across its variants, delivering up to 248 Nm of torque and impressive power of up to 160 PS.
This is mated with a 7-speed automatic transmission with wet-type Dual-Clutch engagement system, tried and tested
by Ford and easily helps drivers with fast gear changes for better handling and improved fuel efficiency.
Moreover, the Territory has a longer wheelbase at 2,726mm and a higher ground clearance at 190mm, giving the 5-seater SUV not just a tougher stance but good overall visibility and capability to take on a variety of road conditions.
Both variants are equipped with four selectable drive modes including Eco, Normal, Sport, and Mountain to provide drivers with confidence and enhance their driving experience across a variety of terrains.
Price and availability
The Next-Generation Ford Territory comes in six colors which include Blue Metallic, Crystal Pearl White (exclusive to Titanium X), Lustrous Grey, Panther Black, Ruby Red (exclusive to Titanium), and Star White (exclusive to Titanium).
The Next-Gen Territory Titanium is available at P1,335,000 while the Titanium X is available at P1,599,000.

Xiaomi EV sets world’s 1st official autonomous driving lap at Nürburgring
Pilotless Xiaomi YU7 completes 20.8-kilometer “Green Hell” track
Xiaomi EV has just made a historic automotive milestone, with a pilotless Xiaomi YU7 GT completing a lap at the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit on its own.
Equipped with the brand’s premium Track Package, the EV conquered one of the most brutal racetracks on the planet without a human driving it, clocking a certified lap time of 10:29.483 across the grueling 20.8 km loop.
The achievement validates the comprehensive capabilities of Xiaomi’s autonomous driving system under dynamic conditions. At the same time, it demonstrates the potential unlocked through the deep integration of AI and advanced vehicle control technologies.
This historic run is the culmination of years of machine learning development. Xiaomi first debuted its Hyper Autonomous Driving (HAD) system back in 2024, but the real breakthrough came earlier this year.
In March 2026, Xiaomi rolled out a next-generation platform driven by its new Xiaomi XLA architecture and the advanced MiMo-Embodied foundation model.
With enhanced understanding and reasoning capabilities, the new system further improves its ability to interpret complex environments, dynamic traffic participants, and vehicle states.
The driving system is built on an end-to-end architecture and vehicle dynamics model, enabling real-time perception of vehicle states and road conditions.
It makes control decisions through dynamic prediction, and continuously coordinates steering, braking, and power delivery to maintain vehicle stability.
Such system accelerates the evolution of autonomous driving from behavior imitation to deeper environmental understanding and autonomous decision-making.
Taming the “Green Hell” with AI
Conquering the Nordschleife is no small feat for a human racing driver, let alone software.
The track is widely regarded as the ultimate proving ground for vehicle development due to its punishing layout: 73 distinct corners, roughly 300 meters of radical elevation changes, wildly inconsistent grip levels, and zero room for error.
During the certified high-speed time trial, Xiaomi’s autonomous system successfully navigated every single one of these complex hazards in real time.
