The car for today's family

Standout features include black mirrors, a black front grille, with most of the silver trim now black.

Ford provided the perfect platform to have a fun-filled day with my family, out and about in Johannesburg in the all-new Territory Dark edition.

I have been to many new car launches and this was the first time a manufacturer gave us the opportunity to bring our loved ones along.

After a wholesome breakfast at our rendezvous point, The Culinary Table in Lanseria, we headed off to our destination: Gold Reef City theme park, a 43km drive to get to know the Dark Edition.

The vehicle comes in four colour options, but I chose to go for the Ruby Red version because it's The Citizen's colour. They also come in Star White, Panther Black and Lustrous Grey.

Some of the standout features include black mirrors, a black front grille and most of the silver trim is replaced with black trim, including the wheels.
