The main reason I can think of is its design is newer.

The current Territory's design language still carries traces of Ford's 2010s design language like the one used by the EcoSport.

agree. its still a Ford here which means it will be supported by Ford's network which is the 3rd biggest locally (as of Nov 2020)

*Ford's casa are not the best in the world, its one of the reasons why we decided not to get a Territory, but 50 is 50. So there should be a dealership somewhere when you need it.

If you ask me, if JMC released the Territory locally, we wont be having this thread. That Ford badge could also be the only reason why the Territory outsold the Coolray last year.

another reason I can think if is that it doesn't make sense for JMC to continue building the old model for the Philippine market only.

Another reason too is its bigger size and comfort oriented suspension (Technically what we need for Philippine roads).

In China they're known to overlap more than one generation of similar models.

possible. yung officemate ko bought a Coolray over the Territory kasi sobrang lambot and gaan daw nung Territory (he was given a weekend to test the car)

pero I've met a lot of people who bought the Territory just because they know someone "big time" (boss etc) who drives an Everest, Expedition/F-150 and Ranger/Raptor -> nginingitian na lang namin sila.

How much bigger is the Equator Sport over the current Ford Territory? | TopGear PH

The new Equator Sport measures 4,630mm long, 1,935mm wide, and 1,706mm tall, this would make it 50mm longer, 1mm narrower, and 32mm taller than the Territory. The Equator Sport rides on a 2,726mm wheelbase, which is just 10mm increase over the Territory’s.
