2019 Ford Territory CN

The market for SUVs in China is growing at a rapid rate. During the first half of this year alone, over 4.96 million SUVs have been sold in China. To take advantage of this development, Ford has designed a new SUV specifically for the Chinese market. Dubbed the “ 2019 Ford Territory CN ”, the model will join other SUVs the automaker sells in the country such as the Explorer, Edge, Everest, Kuga, and EcoSport. The mid-sized SUV is developed jointly with Jiangling Motors Corp, a locally based automaker. The 2019 Ford Territory CN will slot between the Kuga and EcoSport models. The Territory is based on a midsized Jiangling SUV, the Yusheng S330. The 2019 Ford Territory CN SUV will be powered by three engines, a petrol mill and two hybrid engines.

Inside, the Territory has an all-blacked-out cabin with leather upholstery as standard. The interior also features Ford’s infotainment system that is managed via two huge touchscreens (a 10-inch digital unit and a high-definition LCD screen). The instrument panel is an HD, LCD screen with three themes.Co-Pilot360 and FordPass Connect are standard. The FordPass Connect offers 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and enables the driver to access various functions such as remote lock/unlock, remote start, remote parking as well as vehicle locator.

On the other hand, the Co-Pilot360 is a suite of driver-assist technologies that enhance the SUV’s safety; they include Pre-Collision Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Information System, Forward Collision Warning, Active Park Assist, and Lane Departure Warning. Overall, the cabin is very clean and I hope Ford will consider offering similar styling in the U.S.A.
