2011 Ford Territory : First Look

Jay Williams - 10/January/2011

Michigan, United States - Ford has finally taken the wraps off its new 2011 Ford Territory. The Australian-designed-and-developed SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) has undergone an extensive visual update inside and out. 

The new Territory adoupts Ford's kinetic design language and presents a bold new look that makes it instantly recognisable as a member of Ford's comprehensive model family.

Visually, significant changes to Territory's styling have resulted in a stunning new look. At the front, the vehicle uses an all-new tri-plane front-end design. The new trapezoid-shaped main grille is one of the new Territory's most noticeable updates. This larger, lower grille in a unique three-bar design connects with the slim-line treatment given to the upper grille opening.

New slim-line headlights with projector beam technology are another stand-out feature of the new Territory's frontal styling. The high-series Titanium variant takes this a step further with the introduction of LED (Light-Emitting Diode) position lamps integrated into its redesigned front bumper. At the bottom of Territory's new face is a U-formed lower chin skid plate.

Moving rearwards, the new Territory sports a sculpted new bonnet and subtle flutes for the front guards. Bold wheel lips, resurfaced door cladding and a lower rocker moulding combine to give the new Territory a more sporty stance.

At the rear, a number of changes have been made the New Territory sports sleek horizontal tail lights that wrap around the rear of the vehicle that create a seamless visual link to the rear of the vehicle. Connecting them is a new rear lift-gate appliqué. Finishing the new rear styling is a redesigned bumper and new lower-level valence panel.

Rounding out new Territory's exterior is a new catalogue of locally designed wheels, which will be available in 17-inch and 18-inch in model-specific designs.

Stepping inside, the car-like cabin is sporty and sophisticated, fitted with an all-new Instrument Panel (IP) featuring - for the first time - an eight-inch touch screen and new functional storage solutions.

A new four-spoke steering wheel puts drivers in control of the new Territory's impressive handling capabilities and gives finger-tip control to audio and cruise control functions.

Territory's new Interior Command Centre (ICC) provides front-seat occupants with familiar and simple-to-use controls for functions such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning. At the bottom of this new ICC is an all-new storage area. This stylish and functional feature uses a smooth-action tambour door which adds to the interior's equally smooth style. It is here the new IP connects with Territory's stylish and functional centre console. Versatile cup holders, deep console bin storage and USB / iPod connectivity exemplify Territory's famed user-friendliness.
