2011 Ford Territory hints design of 2012 Ford Everest




Ford Australia have recently released a teaser sketch for the 2011 Ford Territory SUV, which is sold mainly in Australia, but is exported to New Zealand as well as South Africa. The Territory is a unibody large SUV that competes against the Toyota Highlander / Kluger.

At the same time however, we also came across spyshots of the 2011 Ford Territory with very light camo. Image from Sohu.com.




Both the Territory and Explorer (below) share a lot of design similarities, FoMoCo's SUV interpretation of its Kinetic design language.




Moreover, we have already seen official images of the T6 generation 2011 Ford Ranger (above). And given that the Everest is an SUV version of the Ranger, expect very little change for the front fascia. We can now have a pretty good idea of what to expect for the next generation Ford Everest. The current generation Everest did not quite cut it in the market, failing to make a strong impression in the all important Thai and South African market. Toyota's aging Fortuner still pulls a considerable lead in this segment, followed by Mitsubishi's Pajero Sport.

Other contenders in the PPV-SUV segment that are very popular within ASEAN trade bloc markets (especially Thailand and Indonesia) as well as South Africa and Argentina.
