Driving Performance and Convenience

Under the hood is a 1.5L EcoBoost engine paired with a rotary e-shifter and electric parking brake. While first-time users may need a moment to adjust to the e-shifter, it's intuitive after just a few drives.

Drivers can also toggle between four driving modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, and Mountain), which adjust the vehicle's performance based on road conditions or personal driving preference. For our test drives, we chose Eco mode, which optimizes the car for fuel efficiency.

The Auto Start-Stop system of the car also helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions during idle moments, which is particularly helpful for city driving where stop-and-go traffic is a common occurrence.

Interior and Comfort

Inside, the Territory Titanium X offers a premium experience with leather seats, a panoramic moonroof, and dual-zone air conditioning for customized comfort.

The panoramic moonroof goes all the way to the backseat

The spacious rear cabin gives passengers generous legroom, making it a practical option for families or group rides.
