Ford Territory (China)

The Ford Territory is a compact crossover SUV built by the JMC-Ford joint venture and was introduced during the 2018 Chengdu Auto Show in September 2018. Despite using the same name as the previous Australian market Ford Territory crossover, there are no relations between the two models.[3][4] It is based on the JMC-developed Yusheng S330 which was introduced for the Chinese market in 2016.[5] The Territory went on sale in early 2019, with Ford China classifying it as an entry-level compact SUV in between the current EcoSport and Kuga SUV product line. The Territory is exported throughout South America and left-hand drive Southeast Asian markets.

Development
Rear view

The Ford Territory is assembled at JMC Ford's plant in Nanchang, China.[12][13] JMC Ford will also introduce the Ford Territory EV-Version to the public in mid-2019. Despite not being offered in the Australian market, Ford Australia had input in the design and development of the new Territory. Ride, handling, and NVH were tuned at Ford's Geelong Proving Grounds in Australia and in Nanjing China.[14]

The Ford Territory was given a mild refresh in early 2020 prior to its introduction in export markets. Changes to the Territory include a gloss black grille with a new pattern and restyled LED taillights. [15]

The Territory is powered by a 1.5 liter EcoBoost 145 based on the JX4G15 gasoline engine developed by JMC and AVL. Ford of Europe also helped in developing the powerplant.[14] This engine features Miller cycle, and produces 138 hp (140 PS; 103 kW) and 225 N⋅m (22.9 kg⋅m; 166 lb⋅ft) of torque.

In Argentina, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, and Chile, the Territory's 1.5 turbo is rated at 141 hp (143 PS; 105 kW) and 225 N⋅m (22.9 kg⋅m; 166 lb⋅ft) of torque,[16][9][17][18] while in Brazil, it is rated at 148 hp (150 PS; 110 kW) and 225 N⋅m (22.9 kg⋅m; 166 lb⋅ft) of torque.[19] A 48V mild-hybrid version is available in China.
