Quoting from the Top Gear PH page, Friday, August 8, the Ford Territory, which was present in the Philippines, was already a hybrid, marking the first environmentally friendly product of an American producer in the Philippines.

The Ford Territory is now an exclusive hybrid car in the local market and the Hybrid Territory is present in two variants. Starting from Titanium Trends which are priced at 1,399,000 pesos or around Rp400 million and the Titanium X variant which touched 1,599,000 pesos or Rp456 million.

The exclusive paint colors for Titanium X are Oasis Green and Crystal Pearl White. Star White is only available for the Trend variant, while Blue Panther, Cactus Gray, and Panther Black are available for both.

Hybrid territory is slightly longer than the prafacelift model with a length of 4,685 mm but its width is still 1,935 mm and a height of 1,706 mm. Ground clearance is 185 mm, while the wheelbase is 2,726 mm.

In design, horizontal elements on the front grip and lighting elements make this compact crossover version look wider than its predecessor. The overall display is more dashing and mature, in contrast to the sporty feel on the previous model. The bumper on both sides has been simplified, with themaske silver accent on the back removed.

Entering the cabin, there is a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel decorating the Titanium X cockpit, while Trend comes with a smaller seven-inch digital interface. The 12-inch infotainment touch screen in the center is equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity as well as voice recognition as standard.

Its audio output is powered by the Arkamy's SoundStage system that emits sound through six or eight speakers, depending on the selected variant. Most of the settings can be changed via the touch screen, but the shortcut button lineup for AC allows for rapid fan speed adjustment.

These two variant crossovers come with a 1.5 liter engine combined with two-acceleration hybrid transmission, electric motors, and 1.8 kWh lithium-ion NCM batteries. This 'special' hybrid powertrain, as Ford calls it, allows Territory to operate with electric power or a combination of electric and gasoline driving, depending on battery power and driving conditions.
