2026 Ford Territory facelift launching in PH this week

Refreshed Ford Territory set to make Philippine debut on August 8

After receiving regulatory approval and being cleared by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) for the Philippine market, Ford is set to reveal the refreshed Territory this week.

Based on the teaser Ford Philippines released yesterday, the facelifted Territory will get a similar look to the updated Territory launched in the PRC. That means it will get a sleeker front fascia with more prominent LED headlights and daytime running lights, which does away with the split design. Other changes we can expect for the 2026 Territory will include a redesigned grille, a new set of alloy wheels, refreshed LED taillights, and an updated rear bumper.

The interior will also likely retain the current look with some minor changes here and there, like an updated 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display, a new rotary-style gear selector, a revamped center console, and a refreshed digital instrument panel. Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto will also likely be offered in the 2026 Ford Territory.

Based on the LTO's recent listing, the updated crossover will be called the Ford Territory Hybrid. We're not entirely sure yet if the electrified crossover will have the plug-in hybrid system that's currently on sale in China or if this is a new powertrain we have yet to see. We reckon, however, that the 1.5L turbocharged engine will be carried over on lesser models, which makes 160 PS with 248 Nm of torque and is saddled to a 7-speed wet-type dual-clutch transmission.

With the launch set for August 8, 2025, we're only just a couple of days away from the big reveal, which will happen at the BGC Amphitheater.
