Meet the 2024 Ford Territory, the keenly priced mid-size SUV that’s about to flood the zone for the Blue Oval.
Good news, this week the 2024 Ford Territory was confirmed for the South African market. Set for arrival in showrooms in Q2 2024, it’s a five-seat SUV that majors in smart technology and efficiency.

Just take a look at it. The Ford Territory is all about commanding presence on the road, spaciousness inside, and integrated smart technology, says the Blue Oval. Moreover, this important volume seller slots neatly between the seven-seat Everest and Fiesta-like Puma we drove last year.
2024 FORD TERRITORY
Central to the 2024 Ford Territory experience is its brilliant cabin. For instance, the 12.3-inch high-definition digital cluster (Titanium only). Then, there’s the interior’s strong horizontal lines that emphasise its width and openness. It promises to be a great place to be … and practical, too.

There are 20 different storage spaces stashed around the inside of Territory while the spacious boot offers up to 448 litres of storage space. This can be expanded to 1 422 litres with the 60/40 split rear seats folding completely flat to load bulkier items.
REFINED AND FAST
On the luxurious Titanium model, a powered twin-panel Panoramic Moonroof bathes the cabin in natural light for occupants. Meanwhile, the entry-level Ambiente is equipped with dark Domino fabric trim for the supremely comfortable seats. And Trend models feature high-quality Domino vinyl trim.

Under the bonnet, the 2024 Ford Territory boasts a punchy 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost petrol engine. As a result, it delivers a superb blend of performance and efficiency. Say hello to 138 kW of power and 318 Nm of torque. Equipped with Auto Start/Stop across the range, power is sent to the road through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). There are four selectable Drive Modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, or Mountain.
