2006 Australian International Motor Show: Popularity of Ground Breaking Territory Enhanced By New Turbo Model

Staff, Thursday October 26, 2006.

Page 1 of 1

The Ford Territory was launched in June 2004, and since that time has become the SUV of choice for more than 50,000 Australians.

Its launch also created a number of significant firsts for an Australian manufactured vehicle, specifically the first to offer Dynamic Stability Control and the first to offer side curtain airbags.

The revised SY Territory (November 2005) created its own share of firsts as well, becoming the first locally produced vehicle to offer a reverse camera.

The release in July this year of the new turbo Territory variants created additional milestones for the groundbreaking Ford vehicle.

“The new turbo models are the most luxurious performance oriented locally manufactured SUV available,” said President of Ford Australia, Tom Gorman.

“The turbo Territory range has helped reinforce the dominance of this innovative model line in the Australian market.”

The new models introduced sleek sophisticated luxury styling coupled with enhanced performance. Both have 245 kilowatts of power and 480 Newton-metres of torque.

“The turbo engine generates power effortlessly, arriving in an even, polished manner across a long flat torque curve. It provides the driver with a refined luxury sports experience with the performance they desire,” said Mr Gorman.

Subtle visual styling cues, such as the dual exhaust outlets, unique 18” alloy wheels and of course the bonnet scoop, signify the turbo Territory as being something quite extraordinary.

The price of the turbo models is also a consideration which stands them apart from other imported performance luxury oriented SUVs.

“The 245kW six speed AWD Territory Turbo has an entry recommended retail price of $53,990*, and the more highly specified Territory Ghia Turbo has a recommended retail price of $65,490*,” said Mr Gorman.

“Territory Turbo and Territory Ghia Turbo offer luxury and enhanced performance at close to half the price of similarly styled and appointed European products.”

In addition to the high level of interior specification, the new turbo models offer a driving experience true to the foundations created by the original Territory.

An innovative dynamics package was developed for the turbo Territory range. The new package complements Territory’s Acutrac Plus handling system, which consists of the Virtual Pivot Control Link front suspension, award-winning Control Blade IRS and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).

“Territory Turbo and Territory Ghia Turbo offer customers enhanced levels of performance and driving enjoyment, while maintaining the car-like ride and handling characteristics that are a hallmark of the Territory range,” said Mr Gorman.

“Territory Turbo is a driving experience like none other, and is a modern interpretation and an evolution of the original ground breaking Territory.

“It is an exciting vehicle which displays a passion and enthusiasm for refined luxury performance motoring.”
