Ford Territory (China)
The Ford Territory (Chinese: 福特领界; pinyin: Fútè Lǐngjiè) is a compact SUV produced by Ford through the JMC-Ford joint venture in China since 2018. It inherits the nameplate from the previous Australian market Territory. The first generation Chinese-built Territory was introduced in China in 2018 as a rebadged and modified Yusheng S330 which is produced by Ford partner JMC. In 2022, JMC-Ford launched the Equator Sport, which is exported as the new generation Territory.

First generation (CX743; 2018)
The first iteration of the Chinese-built Territory was introduced during the 2018 Chengdu Auto Show in September 2018. It is based on the JMC-developed Yusheng S330 which was introduced for the Chinese market in 2016. The Territory went on sale in early 2019, with Ford China classifying it as an entry-level compact SUV in between the EcoSport and Escape. The model was produced at JMC Ford's plant in Nanchang, China. Despite not being offered in the Australian market, Ford Australia had input in the design and development of the new Territory. Ride, handling, and NVH were tuned at Ford's Geelong Proving Grounds in Australia and in Nanjing, China. The Ford Territory was given a mild refresh in early 2020 prior to its introduction in export markets. Changes to the Territory include a gloss black grille with a new pattern and restyled LED taillights. From China, the model has been exported throughout South America and several left-hand drive Southeast Asian markets. The Territory was introduced in Brazil and Argentina on 7 August 2020, with units arriving at Ford dealerships in Brazil in September 2020.

Second generation (CX743MCA; 2022)
In May 2022, Ford introduced the second-generation, Chinese-made Territory. Also produced in China by JMC Ford, it is the export market name of the Chinese market Equator Sport, a two-row version of the Equator. While it is based on the previous generation Territory underpinnings, Ford heavily updated its exterior styling to align it with Ford's global design language. For the 1.5-litre EcoBoost engine option, the power output received a 17 PS (17 hp; 13 kW) increase to 160 PS (158 hp; 118 kW).
