Ford Territory S, with a starting price of 100,000, make a friend with you

My original idea was to make a video about this car that stood out to me. Unfortunately, the data on my mobile phone is lost, so I can only write this article with tears in my eyes to talk about this Ford Territory S that makes me feel sad.

Before this, I would like to advise you with tears, buy the largest cloud space on your mobile phone as much as possible, so that you can retain all the data on your mobile phone to the maximum extent.

Let’s get down to the topic. Let me first state that I am not a real fan of Ford. My impression of Ford is that the Focus hatchback I have tested has both control and power. I can manually click 38 likes, and that’s it. .

But the impression of Ford SUVs on me is always very diluted. Even if I meet you on the street, it is not as easy as saying the name of the food when having lunch in a tea restaurant; but when I see the Ford SUV After entering the S class, just like those non-Ford fans who accidentally enter the 4S store, the appearance of this car will invade your three-dimensional space and be attracted for no reason.

Although this is only Territory's annual facelift model, there is no denying its brilliance. Changes in some details have greatly improved the texture and appearance affinity, which will make you realize that this car has The feeling of light up.

Among Ford's SUV model lineup, Territory sales are more popular than Edge+Escape+Escape. For Ford SUVs, which sold 6,170 units in a single month in March, it is a long-term success. It’s like dew after a drought, even Ford sales said so. After the Territory was launched, we finally saw some hope.

So after multiple confirmations, the ups and downs of Territory S deeply attracted me, and I was full of curiosity about the test drive of this car.

According to official information, Ford Territory S will create "3S" unique to its class, namely "Smart", "Space", and " Safe? Great safety”. The price range of the models is: 10.98 to 164,800 yuan, with 5 models launched.

In terms of appearance, the overall design of this facelift model remains highly consistent with the old model. The adjustments in details give people a sense of openness, such as the addition of a small part of chrome plating in the grille, which makes the car more spacious. The changes in the lights have also become as refreshing as a crescent moon, especially on the fenders on the side of the body. The lines of the outer arch make the body narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. This sense of thickness adds a lot of weight to the body. I personally like it very much. Such a joyful look.

The body size of the Territory S is: 4580mm*1936mm*1674mm, and the wheelbase is ?2716mm. Not only does it exceed the size of small SUVs in the same price range, it is even larger than the Honda CR-V and Volkswagen. Compact SUVs such as the Tuyue are a little larger; coupled with the outline of the body's waistline, the entire vehicle looks much larger than its actual size.

As for the interior, because it is a minor facelift, the overall design style has not changed much, but the functions of the vehicle system and intelligent control system have been slightly improved. The one I tried this time was the top-of-the-line version. The car is equipped with Tencent’s TAI intelligent voice control system, which can realize voice control of the car system, with a recognition rate of up to 97%.

You can also log in to the car's WeChat to realize basic functions such as sending and receiving WeChat voice and location, which significantly improves the convenience and safety of driving.

Because it is a luxury top-end configuration, safety devices such as main and passenger airbags, front and rear head curtain airbags, merging assist, lane departure warning, and active braking are all equipped. Comfort configurations include electronic handbrake + automatic parking, 360 panoramic camera, large panoramic sunroof, keyless entry + one-button start, multi-function leather steering wheel, 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel + 10.1 inch central control LCD screen and matrix LED headlight set. The most surprising thing is that the main and passenger seats are equipped with ventilation and heating, which is immediately cost-effective.

The space is also consistent with the old model, and there is not much improvement in rear space. However, compared with joint venture brand cars in the same price range, the space of the Ford Territory S easily outperforms.

Now that we have talked about the advantages, let’s talk about the shortcomings after trying the car. In terms of power, the Ford Territory S provides a 1.5T four-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 103 kilowatts. Maximum power and peak torque of 225 Nm. The top model is also equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system (only the top model has a 48V mild hybrid system). The entry model is equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The rest of the configurations are With the CVT transmission, the official fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.7 liters for the regular model, and 6.3 liters for the top model equipped with the light-hybrid system.

When I looked at the gearbox, I didn’t have much hope for its power. After all, this is a model mainly for home use. With its masculine and tough guy appearance, the power performance is not as good as The appearance is so strong; but this kind of power is simply a gift for female drivers. With linear power output, there will be no sudden and abrupt feeling when accelerating. I almost don’t feel any sense of frustration in this car. This kind of design It will definitely make female drivers feel easy to drive; the disadvantage is that male compatriots who want a more intense driving mode may make you slightly disappointed.

Final summary: Price, appearance, space, and configuration are all combined, and the power output is not violent enough. It can be said that the flaws are not concealed. By positioning this car in the family scene, it will allow more consumers to Consumers can get in touch with it and experience the product power it brings, and at the same time increase the sales of Ford SUVs. Maybe you may think that you can’t find the excellent pedigree of Ford’s power and control in it; but in the eyes of potential consumers, the Territory S This joint venture SUV has moderate space, affordable price, and generous configuration. This is the real reason for the existence of Territory S.

After all, survival is the most important goal of a brand.
