This new limited edition model follows on from the successful SR versions over the past three years and is based on the Territory TX plus the availability of both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. Adding some $5645 worth of extra value including a rear DVD system and a list of bonus features including an Alpine DVD system for rear seat passengers with a 10.2-inch screen, remote control and two sets of wireless headphones at no additional cost, prices start from $37,990 for the rear-drive variant and $42,990 for the AWD.

Other special features of the SR2 package includes a unique sports leather trim pack featuring partial leather seat trim, leather wrapped steering wheel, leather wrapped gearshift and handbrake cover, and colour-matched centre console lid and door trims, all in a Warm Charcoal finish.

Cruise control is also fitted as standard equipment, incorporating easy-to-use steering wheel-mounted buttons, to complete the SR2 package.

The exterior of the Territory SR2 is enhanced with seven-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels, a unique 'SR2' badge and a full body colour pack, including bumpers and door cladding.

Ford FG Falcon G series


The all new Ford FG Falcon has become the first Australian-built car to receive a five-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).

With a total score of 34.61 points out of 37, the FG Falcon has achieved the highest score ever recorded by a locally-produced car in Australia and places it in the top 7 per cent of all published ANCAP results, as well as in the top 24 per cent of published ANCAP five-star results.

Ford Australia president Bill Osborne said: “The petrol FG Falcon sedan range has been judged by ANCAP as being the safety leader amongst locally-manufactured vehicles, cementing Ford's long standing reputation for safety leadership in Australia,”

“We design our cars to deliver real-world safety benefits for our customers. This result is a resounding third party endorsement of the extensive safety development program undertaken for the all-new FG Falcon.

“Not only is the FG Falcon the safest vehicle ever produced in this country, it is also competitive with the safest sedans in the world.

“These safety test results add further validation to the extensive crash simulation process and physical crash test program conducted by Ford Australia for the FG Falcon, which was the most comprehensive in the company's history."

Achieving a five-star safety rating is no mean feat. To put things into perspective, Ford conducted 426 full vehicle-representative physical crash tests in more than 38 different vehicle crash modes and over 5000 simulated crash tests were completed during the course of the vehicle's development.
