- The Ford Territory SUV is performing strongly in the Argentine market, ranking fourth in May sales.
- It achieved sales growth both month-on-month and year-on-year, leading the SUV segment.
- The model, a collaboration between Ford and JMC, benefits from its Chinese origin and a recent electrified variant.
The Ford Territory SUV continues to solidify its position as a significant player in the Argentine automotive market. In May, it recorded 1,589 unit sales, securing the fourth spot among the best-selling vehicles for the month and capturing a 4.1% market share. Notably, the SUV demonstrated growth compared to both April and May of the previous year, with sales increasing by 0.8% month-on-month and a substantial 54.9% year-on-year. Cumulatively for 2026, the Territory has achieved 8,983 registrations, holding a 3.9% market share and showing a 59.5% sales increase compared to the same period last year.
This performance makes the Territory the best-selling Chinese-origin model in Argentina. The vehicle, a product of the alliance between Ford and China's Jiangling Motors Corporation (JMC), has seen its success boosted by a significant update last year. This update included design enhancements, technological improvements, and the introduction of a new electrified variant. Despite a 1.6% price increase across all versions in June, the SUV maintains a competitive edge in a rapidly growing and increasingly diverse segment of the Argentine market.
The Territory's appeal is further enhanced by its hybrid option, which broadens its target audience and taps into the growing demand for electrified vehicles in Argentina. The model successfully balances dimensions, technology, and equipment with pricing that keeps it among the most popular choices in the SUV segment. This combination of factors, including its Chinese manufacturing origin and the strategic partnership with JMC, contributes to its strong commercial performance.
