Luxury car features in an accessible SUV

Ford Territory Titanium+

-

Easily one of the smartest cars on sale today is the Ford Territory. This new model makes drivers feel like the car is truly alive, thanks to unique features that truly are convenient, intuitive to use, and can be customized.

Always waiting for you

One of the technologi­es in the Territory is its Smart Keyless Entry with Push Button Start. By simply keeping the key in the pocket or back, the car constantly scans for the signal from the key. It unlocks the vehicle and unfolds the mirrors when the driver is near.

An extension of your phone

Got everything on your phone? The Territory understand­s. That’s why it makes it easy to connect to the entertainm­ent system with its integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibil­ity. The vehicle will easily play tunes from your favorite music streaming app through its speakers.

Provided bluetooth is on and your phone is already registered with the car, simply choose a destinatio­n with your favorite traffic app even when outside the car. The moment you step in and plug in your phone, the vehicle will resume navigation functions. When in the middle of a call, you can continue it by simply stepping into the car.

Use Siri or Google Assistant? The Territory has built-in microphone­s to allow you to make requests, check up on traffic or answer calls while you’re at the wheel.

Don’t worry about battery levels. The Territory features multiple USB ports and power outlets to recharge gadgets while on the go. There’s also a wireless charging tray.

Drive like a pro

The Territory can help you out in tight spots on the road. Not sure if you can squeeze in that gap? Thanks to its 360 Degree View Monitor and Co Pilot 360, the vehicle uses cameras all around the vehicle to give the driver a better view of what’s around. This view is displayed on the 10-inch touchscree­n infotainme­nt panel.

It’s smart and adaptive too, showing you just one side when the turn signal is on, or just the rear when in reverse. It can even provide a 360-degree augmented reality view of its surroundin­gs. A graphic of the vehicle itself lets you estimate just how close you are to the curb. You can also choose what view you’d prefer.

A guardian angel

The Territory also watches the road with you. Features like Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Informatio­n System and Lane Departure Warning are fitted in the Titanium+ variant. It watches your lane and those beside you for other vehicles. Adaptive Cruise Control lets you set the speed and the vehicle will keep a set distance from the car ahead, even if it slows down. Forward Collision Warning also watches the road ahead and can apply the brake in emergency situations to avoid an accident.

These are just a few of the many amazing smart features the Ford Territory comes with. Features and specs equipped may depend on the variant (Trend, Titanium+).
