Ford Territory Dark Edition: Stitched to embrace tradition
Top of the range: The Ford Territory Dark Edition replaces the Titanium variant. Ford launched the Territory Dark Edition in South Africa this week with some styling changes to what was already a worthy contender in a very crowded SUV segment. The Territory comes in three trims: Ambiente, Trend and now the Dark Edition, which replaces the Titanium variant that I The Titanium variant felt in sync with competitors as it has a bold exterior mixed with a fancy interior that felt very accomplished. The one thing I did notice with the Titanium variant is that both inside and out, it doesn't have the usual characteristics of a Ford SUV. Whether it was the broad, squared headlights, or other unique styling features that allow you to distinguish a Ford from other SUVs out there, something was just missing. Not that it was bad, but it feels good to step into a vehicle that understands its identity. With the Territory Dark Edition, Ford has made the exterior more stylish and athletic. In the front, the grille has been upgraded to satin black, combined with high-gloss black treatment for the skid plate, fog lamp accents and mirror caps. This bold and assertive exterior styling certainly does allow the vehicle to express itself a bit more. The black 19-inch alloy wheels also add to the visual presence of the vehicle and the 'Territory' branding has been changed to black at the rear of the vehicle. However, it is the interior of the Dark Edition that really uplifts the vehicle and gives it its own identity. Ford has ditched the wooden finish underneath the dashboard that was present in the Titanium variant. Instead, the vehicle has a high-gloss, black-painted strip for the instrument panel that feeds perfectly into the cyber-orange stitching that is lined along the dashboard and on the super comfortable leather seats. The orange stitching is also used in Ford's Wildtrak variants of the Ranger and Everest. This small touch is one of the highlights of the Territory Dark Edition because it gives you the feeling that you are sitting in a Ford. It's amazing how lines of stitching can make a vehicle feel complete. The spacious interior is the other highlight. Backseat passengers are treated to an immense amount of headroom and legroom — and that is standard, no matter which variant you choose. The orange stitching is a welcome addition to the Territory Dark Edition Under the bonnet, the Territory Dark Edition still comes with the 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost petrol engine that delivers 138kW of power and 318Nm of torque. That means that the ride quality on the Dark Edition and Titanium models are exactly the same — a smooth drive with a solid suspension and more than enough power to get you by. In terms of safety, the Dark Edition has all the features that were present in the Titanium variant such as a blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert; adaptive cruise control with stop and go; pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking; lane keep assist; lane departure warning and lane change assist. The Dark Edition gains a 360-degree camera that provides all-round visibility — a boon when getting into tight parking spaces and manoeuvring around obstacles. A 360 degree camera has also been added Ford maintains that the Territory is all about family. The bold, exceptional styling that you get with the Dark Edition is an added bonus. Pricing starts at R593 500 for the Ambiente, the Trend comes in at R650 500 and the Dark Edition is priced at R733 000. The Dark Edition has kept it fresh, like the Titanium model that it replaces, but it embodies the brand. However, it is still a very competitive segment and Ford has produced an all-round quality vehicle at a reasonable price for what you are getting.

Dyson OnTrac Headphones Deliver Immaculate Audio and Custom Style

Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. Whether you're at work or at home, in the boardroom or at the bar, if you look good but don't have the substance, you'll only get so far. Similarly, you might be the most charismatic and well-read person in the room, but a lack of style will still inhibit your ability to make an impact. It's only by finding a balance within this duality that you can truly excel. The same logic applies to products, and for proof of this, you need look no further than Dyson and its new OnTrac headphone design. To create the perfect pair of premium headphones, a brand needs to nail two key elements. The first is substance (high-end sound quality, maximum comfort, and cutting-edge technology), while the second is style (a design that looks the business anywhere and everywhere). From your relaxing Saturday morning stroll for coffee to drowning out office noise as you prepare a crucial mid-week presentation, nothing delivers on both of these fronts quite like Dyson's OnTrac offering. These headphones integrate seamlessly into your life and your ever-evolving aesthetic as you transition from workwear to streetwear and back again, all while delivering incredible sound, noise cancellation, and aesthetic customisation — explore the impeccable variety of colourways here. With that, let's explore what makes these headphones such a clear winner in a field that is becoming increasingly crowded with stale designs and uninspired performance. OnTrac Headphones | Image: Dyson Productivity Prioritised Picture this: you're feeling a little snowed under at work, so you head into the office early to tick some crucial items off your to-do list. As the rest of the team starts to trickle in, talking about the night before and making small talk while waiting for the coffee machine to rouse from its slumber, you barely notice. Instead, you're in the zone and able to remain so thanks to the best-in-class active noise cancelling (ANC) of Dyson's OnTrac headphones. Capable of cancelling up to 40dB of unwanted noise, Dyson's custom ANC algorithm uses eight microphones and samples external sound 384,000 times a second, ensuring none of your colleagues interrupts your productivity. Not only do these headphones help you get the job done, they empower you to look the part while doing so. Thanks to the customisable nature of the OnTrac design, you can swap out ear cushions and outer caps as needed, ensuring your headphones perfectly complement your office environment and attire. For example, you might choose cushions with a more understated finish—Prussian Blue, Dark Iron, or Khaki—and pair them with a Coarse Titanium (i.e. an elegant matte silver-esque) outer cap during the week, and then select something a little bolder once the weekend rolls around. Speaking of which… Raye with OnTrac Headphones | Image: Dyson Express Yourself With the work week ending, it's time to shrug off the expectations of what's considered office-appropriate and embrace something more wholly you. Heading out to your local cafe, you throw on your most comfortable trainers and reach for your pair of Dyson OnTrac headphones. But before you leave, it's time to swap out their darker cushions and outer cap for something a little more reflective of your mood. Feeling bold, you select the CNC Copper outer cap and the chrome yellow ear cushions before feeling the superior comfort and refined ergonomics of the headphones as you place them on your ears. Walking out the door, you activate the headphones and start your weekend playlist, enveloping you in an extraordinary soundscape. This comes courtesy of the OnTrac's two 40mm, 16-ohm neodynium speaker drivers with a frequency response of 6Hz to 21kHz. As the speakers roar to life, revealing new depth, detail, power, and punch within your favourite tracks, it's clear Dyson's OnTrac headphones help you better express and celebrate yourself, not only through the styles on offer courtesy of their customisable design, but via more affecting and immersive musical experiences too. OnTrac Headphones | Image: Dyson Substance and Style By combining heightened examples of both substance and style, Dyson has crafted a pair of phenomenal-sounding, ANC-packing headphones that will look sleek and refined on the commute and in the office, while allowing you to go bold when the mood strikes. It's entirely up to you. Matching your mood and mindset as you shift from day to night, weekday to weekend, office to outdoors, and everything in between, Dyson's OnTrac headphones are the ultimate audio companion regardless of the where and when.

Exploring the Ford Territory Dark Edition: a family SUV that redefines style
The Ford Territory Dark Edition gets a satin black grille, the front skidplate receives high-gloss black treatment and additionally there are fog lamp accents and mirror caps. Image: supplied Special edition vehicles have always been a hit in the South African market, with Ford having launched a number of them successfully over the years, particularly with their double-cab bakkie Rangers and have now added the Territory Dark Edition to the mix. The family-oriented SUV, launched last year, has been a welcome addition to the Ford stable while also providing a boost to their monthly sales. The Territory focuses its attention on being a family-friendly SUV with a comfortable and spacious interior. The Dark Edition aims to capitalise on that by adding interior and exterior additions to make it stand out from the crowd. It's now on top of the Territory pyramid, replacing the Titanium model. Exterior On first glance at the launch drive, it certainly looks like Ford has done a good job, making it far more eye-catching than the outgoing Titanium. The front gets a satin black grille, the front skidplate receives high-gloss black treatment, and additionally, there are fog lamp accents and mirror caps. It stands on 19-inch Ebony Black alloy wheels, obviously, the roof gets the same high-gloss black finish as do the integrated roof rails, lower guard trim strip, window trim and the black 'Territory' badge at the rear. It's available in Star White, Lustrous Grey, Panther Black and Ruby Red. The Ford Territory Dark Edition is aimed at buyers with a family. Image: Supplied Interior Inside, there's been a metamorphosis over the standard interior, and the impression we got was that it looked and felt a lot more premium. The headliner and pillars are charcoal black, as are the leather perforated seats with Cyber Orange stitching, which is also present on the door trims, steering wheel and instrument panel inserts. A black painted strip frames the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and the 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that's wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible. There's loads of room for rear passengers while 448 litres of luggage space (1 422 litres with the rear seats folded) will swallow a lot of holiday baggage. Power The Territory has a strong Chinese connection, with it being manufactured in Nanchang by Jiangling Motors Co., more commonly known as JMC, as part of a joint venture with Ford. However, the engine is Ford's tried and tested 1.8-litre four-cylinder EcoBoost turbocharged petrol producing 138kW and 318NM. It's mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with Eco, Normal, Sport, and Mountain modes driving the front wheels. The Ford Territory Dark Edition's interior gets Cyber Orange stitching on the door trims, steering wheel, instrument panel inserts and seats. Image: Supplied Driving Ford had come up with a unique way of launching the Territory Dark Edition for the local launch. Punting it as a family vehicle, they had invited the media and their 'tribe' to experience the car and spend time at Gold Reef City. In the hurly burly of everyday life and responsibilities, you forget how much fun and exhilarating the various rides provide for your inner child. Midweek, my 'tribe' was one, but there were obviously other larger families. In the last two years or so since going to university, my son has come around to appreciate cars more. As a youngster, it made no difference whether I arrived in a small entry-level runabout or a R3-million sports car. So when we climbed into the Territory, he noted that the interior looked and felt a lot nicer than some of the cars I've had on test. Important too was the fact that it has wireless charging, three USB ports up front and a USB charging port at the rear because listening to music and constantly being on WhatsApp and social media drains batteries. The seats are rather on the stiff side and could become uncomfortable after a while, but they are fully electrically adjustable. The steering wheel is rake and reach adjustable, so finding the perfect driving position is easy. As with previous Territories I've driven, the brake pedal is harsh when first applied, and it takes a while to adjust your foot pressure, especially when driving slowly in traffic. Unlike Ford products like the Rangers, Everests and Pumas, the Territory lacks some of the nuances associated with them. The throttle calibration is a way off from what we've become accustomed to from the brand, but it's still substantially better than some of the other Chinese SUVs we've driven. There's a bit of hesitation on takeoff, but once it's in second gear, it's smooth sailing. However, given the Territory's target market and its application, this is not a deal-breaker. Using the adaptive cruise control, I found it to be overly sensitive, with warning sounds and lights appearing for no apparent reason. On the highway, it effortlessly switches cogs when needed and settles down to the speed limit comfortably. I floored the accelerator once or twice, and the Territory is no slouch and will easily attract the attention of traffic police. Talking of the cops, they were nowhere to be seen on the drive back, much of it along Malibongwe Drive's gauntlet of potholes, broken traffic lights, homeless men directing peak hour traffic, taxis disregarding every road rule, pedestrians and generally a microcosm of everything that's wrong with our driving. It has a myriad of safety features that warn you of impending danger, and with every rule of the road being disregarded for close to 20 kilometres between the warning lights and chimes, it looked like an 80s disco inside. No doubt, though, as an owner over time, you'll figure out how to override most of them. On our return, consumption figures stood at 7.9l/100km, which is not bad at all considering most of our driving was done in heavy traffic. The 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen has crisp graphics and is easy to use. Image: Supplied Safety It comes with a slew of safety features, including Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning and Lane Change Assist. It comes with six airbags, comprising dual front and curtain airbags, Electronic Stability Control with Traction Control, Emergency Brake Assist and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Hill Launch Assist, Hill Descent Control and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The Territory Dark Edition adds a palette of good-looking style changes to the range. Positioning it strongly as a comfortable SUV for families and everyday driving is right on the money, and with the reassurance of an established dealer network, it will provide many years of happy, uncomplicated driving. It comes with a six-year/90 000km Ford Optional Service Plan, four-year/120 000km Ford warranty, four-year/unlimited distance Roadside Assistance and five-year/unlimited distance corrosion warranty. Customers have the option of purchasing Ford Protect Service or Maintenance Plan upgrades up to eight years or 165 000km. The warranty can be extended up to seven years or 200 000km, while the Roadside Assistance can be extended for an additional one or two years.
