Well thought-out crossover on the EA169 Ford Falcon platform, and a hit for the Blue Oval in Australia. Sold also in New Zealand, South Africa and Thailand, as vehicle is RHD only. Styling by Ford Australia’s Simon Butterworth follows global Ford DNA but Territory appears more robust than the US Freestyle.

With buyers shifting to SUVs and crossovers, Ford Australia anticipated the changes and developed one from its venerable EA169 Falcon platform. The Territory, on its début, was a revolution for Australian manufacturers, creating a new segment. It recognized the traditional antipodean need for a vehicle that could do towing duty and have the comfort of a sedan, with the minivan room that families demanded, and the off-road pretensions of 2000s’ buyers. It did, however, have to soldier on through to 2011 with few changes, and was cleverly facelifted that year, with a diesel option. Eventually, the role of the Falcon Wagon was usurped by the Territory. Killed off when Ford closed its Australian plant. The name was revived in China on a facelifted and reworked Yusheng S330 in 2018. Some markets replaced that with a JMC JV crossover, the Equator Sport, using the Territory name.
