Ford has made a welcome return to the world of midsize SUVs with its new Territory.
Launched back in April , it might not be a true blue Ford in the traditional sense, being the product of a joint venture with Chinese partner JMC, but after spending a month with our new long-term Territory Titanium weve come to appreciate its combination of value, practicality and cabin technology.
Its well priced given its generous dimensions - with the 4,630mm SUV being slightly larger than a Toyota Rav4. Expect to pay R590,000 for the base Ambiente, R646,600 for the mid-spec Trend and R721,000 for the range-topping Titanium.
While its design isnt exactly in your face, it looks exactly the way youd expect a Ford to look - handsome and purposeful - particularly in the case of our Titanium model, which rolls on 19-inch double-spoke alloy wheels.
The cabin is a pleasant surprise, with its 12.3-inch 31.2cm dual screens. Were particularly smitten with the infotainment system, which paired with our iPhones with the greatest of ease, while the eight-speaker audio system delivers a truly exceptional sound experience. Its actually a welcome surprise at this price level.
