Foton Gratour

The interiors of the Foton Gratour are made up of premium leather quality. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped and the seats are also pretty comfortable. The dashboard is also pretty impressive and is made up of premium plastic quality. The door handles are made up of soft-touch surfaces with leather and rubberized plastic on the door handles. The dashboard also comprises faux stitching and layered panels. The infotainment system present acts as another key factor in enhancing the overall ride quality.

The outside of the 2020 Foton Gratour is typical of an MPV, with sufficient height to enable appropriate headroom for people inside.  The Gratour's height is then compensated by its aggressive and broad stance, with the wheels extending as far as they can towards the corners, it is a minivan but doesn't look like one. The towering chrome grille, flanked by sloped and sweeping headlights, and a large Foton emblem in the centre, frame the front look.

The extended foglamps sunken into the front bumper are also unique in design, contributing to the charm of the 2020 Foton Gratour. The side profile is free of any cladding or harsh edges, but a delicate, sweeping character line that begins at the bottom of the rear door breaks up the monotony. The doors are also pretty easy to get in and out owing to their height and wide openings. This car also includes the horizontal tail lamps below the line of the window and a chrome bar.

The Foton Gratour is known for its exemplary ride quality and supreme handling. Even after being laden with up to seven people this car can be handled with ease because of the marvellous suspension system. The car's MacPherson struts in the front and a five-link non-independent rear suspension absorb road irregularities and potholes while keeping the passengers comfortable. This powerful car can be used for off-roading conveniently.

The Foton Gratour is powered by a massive 1.5-litre dual VVT 1500 cc engine that clocks in around 114 hp power. It's a capable car owing to its 150 Nm of torque, which is comparable to a bigger displacement engine's pulling power. It doesn't like to rev much, and it starts to whine at 4,000 RPM, but you'd rarely need to because 75 percent of the engine's output is accessible low in the powerband anyhow.

The Foton Gratour is only available with a 5-speed manual transmission. Given the negative connotation attached to such automobiles, going for a manual gearbox is the best choice, since it is more robust and less expensive to replace if it breaks down after a few years of ownership. The fuel economy is quite impressive as compared to the carrying capacity of this automobile.

The Foton Gratour features a four-wheel antilock disc braking system assisted by electronic force distribution. This makes sure that enough stopping power has been provided to the brakes. This ride also adorns a variety of safety features like dual front airbags, ISOFIX sensors, backup sensors. It also features a reverse camera.

I firmly believe the fact that the Foton Grantour offers a wide variety of features at its price. The powerful and efficient engine coupled with the beautiful interiors and the electronic force distribution braking system makes this deal irresistible. It is recommended for the ones who seek basic people moving capability in a vehicle with ease.
