"It's truly an honour to accept this prestigious award on behalf of the 5000 Ford employees, our many supplier partners and our dealers," said Ford Australia President Tom Gorman.
"It's been fantastic to achieve record sales since last year's launch, but winning awards as coveted as Wheels Magazine Car Of The Year is truly the icing on the cake.
"I see it as a just reward for the truly outstanding efforts of everybody at Ford Australia who took on the monumental task of creating an all-new vehicle designed for Australians, engineered by Australians and built here by Australians," Gorman said.
It marks the second win of the prestigious Wheels Magazine Car Of The Year award in three years by Ford Australia, with the BA Falcon taking out the 2002 title.
The mix of car-like handling and traditional 4WD packaging has seen Ford Territory dominate the SUV sales charts since its launch last June.
Territory has been the best selling SUV in Australia since July 2004, achieving sales of more than 15,000 vehicles in its first nine months.
