Ford introduces its first Hybrid vehicle in Mindanao
The Ford Territory Hybrid, a groundbreaking hybrid SUV, has officially made its debut in the Philippines, marking a significant milestone for Ford Philippines as the first international market to receive this innovative model [1][3][5].
Powerful and Efficient Hybrid System
The Territory Hybrid boasts a self-charging hybrid system that seamlessly blends a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor and a dedicated hybrid transmission, delivering a combined output of 150 hp from the engine and 218 hp from the motor [2]. This powerful system enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 8.5 seconds [2].
Practical Driving Range and Multiple Drive Modes
The hybrid system supports multiple drive modes, including EV, Series, Parallel, and Energy Recovery, with Eco, Normal, and Sport modes. Despite lacking plug-in charging needs, the Territory Hybrid offers a driving range of over 1,000 km on a single 60-liter tank, maximizing fuel efficiency without the need for external charging infrastructure [2][5].
Stylish Exterior Design
The Territory Hybrid presents a bold and refreshed exterior design, featuring a sleek hood, a beefy grille, C-shaped LED headlights, and a coast-to-coast LED light bar with a glowing Ford logo, especially pronounced in the Titanium X variant [2][5].
Premium Interior and Advanced Technology
The Titanium X variant offers premium interior finishes, larger alloy wheels, a panoramic moon roof, advanced driver-assist features, and enhanced connectivity options [5][3].
Nationwide Availability and Competitive Pricing
Demo and display units of the Territory Hybrid are now available across Mindanao, with invoicing and deliveries starting this month. Pre-orders are coming in from various cities in Mindanao [1]. The Territory Hybrid is competitively priced for the compact SUV segment in the Philippines, with the base Trend priced at ₱1,399,000 and the top-range Titanium X at ₱1,599,000 [1].
A Sustainable Future for the Philippines
Divina Gracia Jam Y. Quinoy, Ford Philippines' assistant vice president and general manager for Mindanao, expressed her excitement about the Territory Hybrid, stating that it is engineered to fit the lifestyle and needs of the modern Mindanaoan [4]. She also expressed her hopes for local governments and fuel retailers to invest in charging stations to support EV adoption.
