Ford Territory – EUS-1001 Tester manufacturer – china 12PSB Test Bench
Powertrains
The Territory is sold with two engine choices, the 4.0L inline-six engine as the standard engine, and a turbo charged six-cylinder version in the Turbo model. The base engine is available in RWD and AWD. The RWD model has a four-speed automatic gearbox, and the AWD has the ZF six-speed auto. The turbo model only comes in AWD. In 2010 Ford will update the current 4.0L inline-six to meet strict Euro 4 emission standards. In 2011 Ford will introduce a new model with the 2.7L diesel V6 that is shared with Land Rover, Peugeot and Citroen. It will initially use the ZF six-speed auto but eventually adopt the Powershift transmission to reduce fuel consumption. The engine will emit up to 25 percent less CO2 compared to the current 4.0L inline-six.
SX (20042005)
The original model was the SX and was produced between 20042005. The engine was the 4.0 litre DOHC I6 Barra engine from the Falcon, developing 182 kW (244 hp).
Appearance-wise, the Territory resembles the Ford Taurus X sold in North America. Both cars have similar styling cues — it was this that sold the Territory to Ford executives at the head office in Dearborn, Michigan. Simon Butterworth, who was behind the Ford Falcon facelift of 2003, styled the Territory but had worked with his American counterpart, J Mays, in working in the global Ford “DNA”. Marcus Hotblack worked on the Territory’s interior, with a Swiss army knife as a metaphor. Consequently, the car has touches such as flexible cupholders and a handbag holder to the side of the seat for female drivers, recognizing that many SUV buyers are women.
20042007 Ford Territory TX.
Specification levels
Both rear- and all-wheel drive configurations were offered in three trim levels. All-wheel drive models have an optional Hill Descent Control system, using the anti-lock braking system to control the car’s motion downhill, inherited from Land Rover.
Options of five seats (in two rows) or seven seats (in three rows) are available. The rows of seats are arranged in a “theatre style”, with the back row highest. They fold down smoothly into the floor. A DVD player is available as an option on all models.
TX:
TS: added side curtain airbags (optional on TX), which were a first for an Australian made car.
Ghia:
SY (20052008)
20042007 Ford Territory Ghia AWD (with optional bull bar)
An updated SY model arrived in October 2005, bringing with it a ZF six-speed automatic transmission on all AWD models and an increase in power to 190 kW (255 hp). The model also comes with a Rear Parking Camera (optional on the TS and standard on the Ghia), another first for an Australian made vehicle.
Ford Australia introduced a turbo variant of the base engine, in mid 2006. The addition of the turbo boosted the engine performance to 245 kW (329 hp) and 480 Nm (350 ftlbf) of torque
SY II (2009)
The SY II facelift was revealed at the 2009 Melbourne International Motor Show. It consists of moderate front-end changes as well as other minor exterior changes. The interior gets upholstery changes across the range, with the old colour schemes being replaced with more modern ones.
SY II Ford Territory
Specification levels
TX: receives body-coloured bumpers and alloy wheels standard over the SY.
TS: also gains body-coloured bumpers, newly designed alloy wheels as well as third-row seats standard.
Ghia: models get mirror mounted side indicators, new alloy wheels, privacy glass for the rear windows and third-row seats standard.
Updates
The SYII received a revised front suspension to address a well documented weakness in the front lower balljoints. The previous design has the ball joints under constant tension (i.e. trying to pull them apart) which has resulted in some complete failures of the joint (fortunately no casualties) and premature wear requiring lower control arm replacements after as little as 50,000km. The new system has the lower balljoints under compression, eliminating the premature wear issue. The rubber mounting bushes for the differential are also known to fail earlier than would be expected – this has not been addressed in the new model.
Safety
Through the addition of a front passenger seatbelt warning chime due to be implemented on cars produced from 11 January 2010, the entire Territory range will be rated the full five-star Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) crash test score. Models produced prior to this date were previously rated at four stars.
Territory as an emergency vehicle
MICA Single Responder in Melbourne.
The Territory is used in varying roles by several emergency services in Australia. Victoria Police use the Territory as a patrol car as well as specialist departments such as the Major Collision Investigation Unit. The Territory Turbo has been used by the Traffic Management Unit for traffic patrols. Ambulance Victoria uses the Territory for Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance Single Responder units, and for similar roles in other ambulance services. It is also used by some fire brigades as a crew/equipment transport vehicle.
The Australian Federal Police and NSW Police both use the Territory Turbo as a VIP protection and escort vehicle.
FPV F6X
FPV F6X.
An enhanced version of the Ford Territory was introduced by Ford Performance Vehicles in January 2008 as the FPV F6X. It was fitted with the same 270 kW (362hp) turbo-charged engine as the FPV F6 and accelerates from 0 to 100kph in 5.9secs. The F6X was only available with Four-wheel drive and is equipped with the ZF 6 speed automatic gearbox as fitted to the Ford FG Falcon. The lack of sufficient differentiation from other Territory Turbo models and the significantly higher price meant it met with only limited success and it was discontinued in June 2009 when the SY II was introduced.
