Ford Territory SUV: Most likely, Ford will come back with a lineup of CBU products to start its India operations, with the Endeavor likely leading the way, while local assembly may follow later.
Ford Territory SUV: Discussions about Ford’s return to the Indian market are gaining momentum. Ford may introduce several new SUVs for our market, although no confirmation has been made regarding the company’s re-entry into India. However, the Ford Territory appears to be a larger SUV positioned below the full-size Endeavor in our market.
The new Ford Territory is a 5-seater SUV and is smaller than the Endeavor, resembling a crossover. The new model features slimmer LEDs and 19-inch wheels, while its larger grille and sharper looks contribute to an attractive design, albeit with less road presence compared to the new Endeavor.
Engine and Interior: It is equipped with a 1.8L GTDI EcoBoost engine and a standard 7-speed automatic transmission, tuned for daily drivability. The interior features dual screens with a clutter-free layout, including all the usual technology along with a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The Territory could pose a significant challenge in the premium SUV segment, potentially competing with the upcoming new Endeavor. Although there is no confirmation regarding the launch of the new Endeavor or the Territory in India, we believe that both these SUVs would be well-suited for our market.
Suitability for the Indian market: Most likely, Ford will reintroduce a lineup of CBU products to start its India operations, with the Endeavor possibly leading the way, followed by local assembly later on. An SUV like the Territory would also be suitable for our market, particularly as a large city SUV.
