Ford Motor Company has unveiled the latest iteration of its popular SUV, the Territory, which continues to feature the efficient 1.8L EcoBoost engine known for its blend of power and efficiency. The announcement also teased the arrival of a hybrid variant destined for the region soon.

This model is set to redefine standards with its mix of user-friendly technology and efficient powertrains, making every journey more enjoyable. The 2026 Ford Territory embodies the 'Built Ford Proud' ethos, promising a new benchmark in accessible, modern SUV ownership.

The Territory's evolution brings more of what consumers desire, combining a striking design with thoughtful features. Its refreshed look, intuitive infotainment system, and enhanced safety technologies have been crafted to offer convenience, comfort, and capability.

The SUV is designed for a variety of settings, from city commutes to weekend escapes, ensuring it remains a top choice in diverse markets, including Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Manila, Cape Town, and Dubai.

"Territory has always been about empowering young, dynamic families to get the most out of every day," Iain Jones, vehicle programme director at Ford International Markets Group, stated. "With the new Territory, comfort and smart technology come to the fore. It's everything our customers have asked for, and more."

Since its introduction, the Ford Territory has seen robust sales and become a dependable option across key growth markets like the Middle East, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brazil, and Argentina. The SUV's success lies in its ability to meet the needs of young families seeking a vehicle that supports their dynamic lifestyles.

The 2026 Territory distinguishes itself with a dynamic new front end, featuring a redesigned bumper and grille, complemented by all-LED head and tail lamps. Two new colors, Cactus Grey and Oasis Green, enhance the lineup with a touch of sophistication.

"We wanted to give Territory a more expressive front end," Jones explained. "The new LED lighting gives the car real personality and presence on the road." Inside, the focus on comfort is evident with updated seats that offer wider, more supportive headrests and additional padding, perfect for long journeys. The inclusion of fast-charging USB and Type C outlets in both the front and rear ensures devices stay charged, enhancing convenience for all passengers.

The spacious interior, including a generous trunk and class-leading shoulder room, reflects Ford's commitment to customer comfort. "Customer comfort is incredibly important to Ford, and that's why we've examined everything from seating to air quality and refinement," Jones added.

"We've enhanced every detail to help our customers feel more relaxed and confident, wherever their journey leads." Under the hood, the SUV maintains its powerful yet efficient 1.8-litre EcoBoost engine. "Ford is proud of its EcoBoost technology, and the 1.8-liter EcoBoost in Territory helps us deliver on our promise of economical motoring without sacrificing performance," Jones remarked.

The 2026 model elevates in-car connectivity with a suite of advanced features that enhance the driving experience. The inclusion of Arkamys™ 3D Audio offers an immersive audio experience, while the upgraded infotainment system now boasts a dual 12.3-inch touchscreen display for improved usability.

"The team worked hard to ensure the infotainment screen was more intuitive for customers," said Jones. "We're incredibly proud of the improved aesthetic and functionality, especially the streamlined layout of the climate control system."

For the first time, Territory is available with FordPass™, allowing owners unprecedented interaction with their vehicle. This app enables remote control over locking, climate pre-adjustment, fuel level checks, and vehicle health alerts.

Safety remains paramount, with the 2026 Territory featuring advanced driver-assist systems, including Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, and the newly added Lane Centering Control. "We want our customers to feel safe and confident every time they get behind the wheel," Jones concluded. "That's why we've outfitted the 2026 Territory with the latest driver-assist technologies to help protect them and their loved ones."

The new 2026 Ford Territory sets a high standard in the SUV segment with its combination of style, comfort, technology, and safety. Its design and features reflect Ford's commitment to meeting the evolving needs of families.
