Ford Territory nameplate revived for new SUV

[Trendseeker]

The specs for the Yusheng S330 (in Wikipedia, which also refers to it as the Territory) put it slightly larger than the current model Escape. And the local price is only $10k! There’s a bit of a resemblance in the rear view to a Range Rover Evoque.

Yeah apparently there'll be a plug-in hybrid version too with a Miller Cycle engine, so from the looks of things, it's not a badge engineering jobbie, there's been a lot of re-engineering and restyling. I wonder if the decision to use the Territory name came from Dearborn or Broadmeadows- as a tribute.

In other words, yes.

You’ve lost my clicks now.

How about you either let it go or take it to PM so that we don't have to put up with your posts that add little value to the subject at hand, which is the new Ford Territory (in case you've forgotten)?

PS A mod has already advised on the action to be taken about any potential conflicts of interest.

...so, when is the Falcon name going to show up again. New China market people mover badged as a Falcon?

It has precedent...

I’d like history to repeat itself and the Falcon dies to be sent to Argentina and they make them for the next 40 years

Actually, these are new pics including the rear for the first time.

Yeah I read the article you linked as well.

Says it's just a rebadged existing Chinese market car.

The Ford Territory is based on the Yusheng 330. Ford changed the lights, grille, and bumper. And that’s it. The Yusheng 330 is manufactured by Jiangling Auto, Ford’s partner in the Jiangling-Ford joint venture.

Ford says the Territory is aimed at China’s second and third tier cities. This is exactly the same market where the Yusheng S330 is selling in, competing with dozens of similar cars offered by various other Chinese automakers.

Woohoo, go Ford

Maybe a glimpse into what the future Ranger Raptor might be powered by.

4G15 engine platform is old ... like CE Lancer old.
Like Proton using CC Lancer parts all over it.

This is as bad as Holden keeping the Commodore name and putting it on a FWD hatchback.

Because there will be those whingers who would complain that the Edge is not a Falcon based RWD/AWD SUV with a Barra engine and therefore it's not a Territory.

Just look at how well the Insignia ... sorry, Commodore, is being received.

Wow that ford redesign looks like it should be the original.With a more modern engine and TC auto, it would sell well here.

[FalconXV]

Here it looks like a genuinely premium SUV. The only thing that lets it down is 1990s era gear shifter (and mechanicals, platform obviously) but the interior design is pretty good. A credit to our local team if they did it.(Did they?)

I will not buying any overseas made ford cars and hate using fake name chinese made "Territory" This is disgrace . Ford "Territory" name was born right here in Geelong and design and manufacture in Australia by Australian worker and Falcon name come from USA or Canada but Aussie design and manufacture that built Ford falcon over the last 50 years and notice new chinese SUV rear cargo space far too small for Australian family or likey and don"t think ever that baby pram will fit
Anyway i am keeping my Aussie made Territory on the road for several more years. Can use folding rear seat into nice comfortable bed on outback but chinese fake territory you cant

God Damn you Ford.

Now, every time I think I have found a rare NOS part or Desirable Upgrade for my Terri, it turns out to be for this abomination.

A Plague on Both your Houses!
