Positioned above the current Titanium trim, the Dark Edition doesn’t change anything mechanically. It still features the 1.8l turbocharged EcoBoost engine, producing 138kW and 318N.m, which is sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The four drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport and Mountain) carry over unchanged.
The visual differences are where this edition aims to stand out. Black finishes replace most of the standard chrome and silver trim, including the grille, mirror caps, roof rails and skid plates. The 19-inch wheels are painted black, and there’s a dark ‘Territory’ badge at the rear. Paint options include white, grey, black and red.
Inside, the cabin gets a charcoal headliner, black dashboard and door inserts, and black leather upholstery with contrasting orange stitching. Two 12.3-inch displays handle the instrument cluster and infotainment, while wireless phone charging, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto are standard. USB ports are scattered throughout the cabin.

A key addition is a 360-degree camera, which joins an already long list of driver assistance systems. These include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, blind spot monitoring, lane-keep assist and automatic emergency braking. Six airbags are standard, and Ford continues to offer its usual mix of warranty and service plans, with optional extensions.
The Dark Edition doesn’t transform the Territory, but it gives buyers a slightly more distinctive option in a crowded compact SUV market without pushing the price too far up. It will likely appeal to those wanting something more eye-catching without stepping outside the familiar Territory package.
