The Foton Grand General G9 (Chinese: 福田 大将军G9), or Foton Dajiangjun G9 in Chinese, is a mid-size pickup truck made by Foton in 2021 and shown at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show originally as the Foton Grand General.
Overview
[edit]
The Foton Grand General G9 is based on the same platform as the Foton Tunland Yutu pickup series while featuring a different front end. The powertrain of the Grand General G9 has three options, all turbocharged: a 2.0-liter gasoline, 2.0-liter diesel, or a 2.5-liter diesel engine, and an 8-speed automatic gearbox is standard on the gasoline models.[4][5] Power outputs are 175 kW (238 hp) for the 4G20TI5 gasoline option, while Foton's own 4F20TC diesel develops a maximum power of 120 kW (163 hp), while the larger VM 2.5T Diesel offers 110 kW (150 hp).[6] The lineup started at 129,800 yuan at the time of introduction.[7]
Design Controversies
[edit]The design of the Grand General G9 is controversial as the front fascia heavily resembles that of the Ford F-150 Raptor.[8][9][10][11][12]
