Ford Philippines has introduced the Territory Hybrid Platinum, a new range-topping variant designed to elevate the brand’s best-selling small utility hybrid with premium design, comfort-focused tech, and the company’s most advanced driver-assist suite. The introductory price is P1,655,000, bundled with a 5-year warranty and a free 2-year scheduled service plan (SSP).
The launch follows the Territory Hybrid’s first anniversary in the Philippines. In its debut year, the model sustained strong demand, tallying 4,405 units sold as of June 2026.
“We are incredibly proud of the Territory Hybrid and the overwhelming reception it has achieved over the past year. Leveraging on its popularity and appeal to Filipino customers, we are introducing the Territory Hybrid Platinum,” says Byron Daquil, director, Retail Product Marketing and Business Growth, Ford Philippines. “With the Territory Hybrid Platinum, we are bringing a new level of driving sophistication for customers seeking the space, comfort and safety of a family SUV combined with the refinement of a luxury vehicle.”
Inside, the Territory Hybrid Platinum aims for a sanctuary-like feel. It features Platinum design-quilted leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, illuminated PLATINUM scuff plates, and a two-panel panoramic sunroof. Cargo capacity stretches from 448 liters to 1,442 liters with the second row folded, and a hands-free power tailgate adds everyday convenience. Hidden LED lighting within the door sills activates automatically on opening, diffusing illumination through an optical acrylic layer for a polished welcome effect. A smart air filtration system with a PM2.5 filter and ionizer continuously cleans cabin air.
A headline addition is the first-in-class Digital Scent system. Integrated into the center console, the alcohol-free unit releases fragrance gradually and can be adjusted via the 12-inch touchscreen. Six scent profiles are available; each vehicle ships with three—Whispers of Dawn, Velvet Ember, and Verdant Rush—while three more—Amber Veil, Azure Oud, and Soul Velocity—can be purchased at Ford dealerships.
Entertainment is handled by an Arkamys 10-speaker setup with a dedicated center speaker and a powerful subwoofer, backed by a 320W amplifier and a 9-band equalizer. A 3D audio algorithm recreates immersive 5.1 surround sound, while listeners can target sound to the full cabin, driver, or rear seats. Five professional presets, speed-compensated volume, and directional audio safety alerts round out the package.
On the outside, the Territory Hybrid Platinum adopts a two-tone front bumper and a blacked-out roof, with PLATINUM hood lettering and gloss black side mirrors. A coast-to-coast LED daytime running light emphasizes the vehicle’s width, while Automatic High Beam aids night driving. Additional cues include PLATINUM badging on the tailgate and bonnet, gloss black roof rails with a sharkfin antenna, a gloss black rear bumper finish, and new 19-inch alloy wheels for a more assertive stance.
Under the skin is a 1.5L I-4 Dedicated Hybrid Engine paired with a 2-Speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission and a 1.83kW Lithium-Ion NCM high-voltage battery. The hybrid system supports EV, Series, Parallel, and Energy Recovery modes to optimize efficiency and smooth out torque delivery, especially in stop-and-go city traffic. Output figures include max engine power of 150PS and 230Nm, plus max electric power of 218PS and 315Nm of torque. Regenerative braking and engine energy capture recharge the battery on the move, contributing to a claimed 19.6 km/L and up to 1,000 km on a full tank—without the need to plug in.
Technology upgrades center on dual 12-inch displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment, standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Ford app connectivity. The driver-assist suite expands with Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) and Integrated Cruise Assist (ICA) working in concert with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). When ACC is active and speed drops below 60 km/h, TJA helps manage speed and lane centering, even if only one lane marking is visible; if neither is detected, Follow Mode guides the car based on the vehicle ahead. As traffic clears past 60 km/h, ACC resumes primary control while ICA assists with acceleration, braking, and subtle steering inputs to keep the SUV centered. If lane markings fade, the system prompts the driver before disengaging.
The Territory Hybrid Platinum launched at an introductory P1,655,000, inclusive of a 5-year warranty and free 2-year SSP. Color options are Moonbay Blue, Lustrous Grey, and Crystal Pearl White. Reservations open at Ford dealerships starting August 7, 2026.
