Ford Philippines has added a new range-topping variant to its Territory lineup, with the Territory Hybrid Platinum bringing more premium styling, upgraded cabin features, and enhanced driver-assistance technology to the hybrid SUV.
The new variant arrives a year after the Territory Hybrid’s Philippine launch, with sales reaching 4,405 units as of June 2026.
What sets the Platinum apart is its more upscale cabin. It features Platinum design-quilted leather seats, ventilated front seats, illuminated PLATINUM scuff plates, and a two-panel panoramic sunroof.
It also introduces a Digital Scent system, a built-in, alcohol-free fragrance system integrated into the center console. Drivers can adjust scent intensity through the 12-inch touchscreen and choose from six profiles. Three—Whispers of Dawn, Velvet Ember, and Verdant Rush—come pre-installed, while Amber Veil, Azure Oud, and Soul Velocity are available separately from Ford dealerships.
The cabin also gets an Arkamys 10-speaker sound system with a center speaker, subwoofer, 9-band equalizer, and 320W amplifier. Its 3D audio algorithm creates an immersive 5.1 surround experience, with selectable sound coverage, five presets, speed-compensated volume, and directional safety alerts.
Practicality remains a key feature, with 448 liters of cargo space expanding to 1,442 liters with the second-row seats folded. The SUV also gets a hands-free power tailgate, illuminated door sill plates, and a smart air filtration system with PM2.5 filter and ionizer.
Outside, the Platinum gets a two-tone front bumper, black roof, gloss-black side mirrors and roof rails, PLATINUM badging, gloss-black rear bumper, sharkfin antenna, and new 19-inch alloy wheels. A coast-to-coast LED daytime running light and automatic high beam complete the lighting package.
Power comes from a 1.5L I-4 Dedicated Hybrid Engine paired with a 2-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission and 1.83kWh NCM lithium-ion high-voltage battery. The system produces up to 148hp and 230Nm from the engine, while the electric motor delivers up to 215hp and 315Nm. It supports EV, Series, Parallel, and Energy Recovery modes, with regenerative braking and engine-generated energy automatically replenishing the battery.
Ford claims fuel efficiency of 19.6km/L and a driving range of up to 1,000km on a full tank, with no external charging required.
Technology includes dual 12-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Ford app connectivity, and enhanced ADAS with traffic jam assist and integrated cruise assist working with adaptive cruise control.
The Territory Hybrid Platinum is priced at an introductory P1,655,000, with a five-year warranty and free two-year scheduled service plan. It is available in Moonbay Blue, Lustrous Grey, and Crystal Pearl White.
