Ford Territory Hybrid goes to Baguio

- By NEIL PAGULAYAN

The Territory Hybrid is Ford Philippines' first electrified model in the country.

With the gasoline-powered Territory doing pretty well, it just makes sense that this would be their first hybrid.

When it was launched a little over a month ago, we knew it wouldn't be long before we'd get to take it on a drive. As expected, the long drive came with Baguio as our destination. As always, it's the ideal destination for the shakedown of a new vehicle. After all, a drive to Baguio, with the long highway run and steep climbs, will showcase the benefits of its hybrid system.

Before we get to that, a little introduction of the new model is in order. The most prominent change would be the new front bumper, grille, and coast-to-coast LED light bar, which bridges the left and right daytime running lights. There's also the illuminated Ford badge up front. It has a new hood and fender, and new rear bumper design. Notable is the laminated front window glass, lessening road and exterior noise in the vehicle.
