Ford Powers Into Hybrid Game with New Territory

MANILA, Philippines – Ford Philippines has officially joined the hybrid electric vehicle segment with the launch of the new Ford Territory Hybrid. The Philippines is the first market in Ford’s International Markets Group to offer this model, which blends fuel efficiency, modern styling, advanced tech, and driver-assist features.

Available in two variants – the Trend and Titanium X – the new Territory Hybrid keeps the SUV’s popular appeal while adding a responsive hybrid powertrain. The Trend focuses on core hybrid features for daily driving, while the Titanium X adds premium touches like a panoramic moonroof, coast-to-coast LED bar, larger alloy wheels, and extra safety tech.

Hybrid Power Without Plugging In
Unlike plug-in hybrids, the Territory Hybrid doesn’t need charging stations. It automatically recharges through regenerative braking and its gasoline engine. Both variants use a 1.5L I-4 Dedicated Hybrid Engine, paired with a 2-speed dedicated hybrid transmission and a 1.83kW lithium-ion battery. Together, they produce up to 218PS of electric power and 315Nm of torque.

The SUV can switch between EV, Series, Parallel, or Energy Recovery modes for better fuel economy and smooth torque delivery, especially in city traffic. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 8.5 seconds. Drivers can choose Eco, Normal, or Sport modes, plus adjustable steering settings for comfort or responsiveness.

Updated Looks Inside and Out
The Territory Hybrid sports a redesigned hood, fenders, grille, LED headlights, and full-width LED taillights. Wheel sizes are 18 inches for the Trend and 19 inches for the Titanium X. Inside, it features premium materials, a dual-tone leather finish, more luggage space, multi-color ambient lighting, and improved seating comfort.

Tech and Comfort
Both variants come with dual-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, multiple charging ports, and a 12-inch touchscreen. The Titanium X gets extras like a wireless charging pad, PM2.5 filter, hands-free tailgate, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. A new sound system from Arkamys delivers 3D surround sound.

Safety Features
Standard safety tech includes six airbags, stability and traction control, hill assist, a 360-degree camera, and parking sensors. The Titanium X adds adaptive cruise control, lane keeping aid, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking.

FordPass Connectivity
Through the FordPass app, owners can remotely start, lock, or unlock the car, and get vehicle health alerts.
