The second-generation Ford Territory has been around the market for over a year now. We’ve reviewed it before and noted everything we liked, and didn’t, about it.
So, why do we have another one here?
But if we’re talking about the Territory’s looks in general, it’s a bit of a looker. While a touch on the conservative side, it’s not polarizing and generally pleasing to look at from any angle. No awkward proportions, just a clean, simple design that we reckon will age well down the line. Certainly makes the previous model look, well, old.In contrast to the exterior, the interior gets brightened up. Yes, it’s the same two-tone scheme as in the Titanium X.
However, this is the part where the shine of its styling and interior packaging wear off. While the engine is turbocharged, it’s blunted by a rather, well, relaxed throttle response. It takes its time to react to accelerator inputs, making you wonder if the power’s coming at all. The best result we got in heavy traffic was 6.5 km/L at an average speed of 17kph. Even at slightly better traffic conditions, the Territory barely eked out 8 km/L. At least those numbers were more acceptable on the highway, but it’s still not outstanding. We managed 13.7 km/L on the expressway.At least the Territory is comfortable as it chugs fuel like it packs a 3.0-liter V6 under the hood. The ride is well damped and resists the urge to be wallowy over road imperfections.
There are a few comments about ergonomics, though. First, the drive modes are buried within the touchscreen so you’ll have to do some fiddling with the screen for your desired setting. The same goes for temperature adjustment, and adjusting the safety systems.
