Review by topic

Safety and driver assistance

2 airbags
  • Merging onto Skyway Stage 3 is straightforward, aided by its 161 hp and 390 Nm of torque, making lane changes smooth even in heavy traffic.
  • The absence of advanced driver-assistance systems like adaptive cruise control or lane-keeping assist means staying alert is crucial for safety.

Gearbox

MANUAL

Space and practicality

  • With ample cargo capacity, it serves the needs of businesses while keeping running costs low, which is crucial for resale value and overall ownership satisfaction.

Comfort and refinement

  • Cabin noise remains noticeable at highway speeds, but ride comfort is decent for both driver and passengers, making it suitable for various transport needs.

What works

  • The Foton Thunder generates 161 hp, allowing for confident overtaking at 100 kph on expressways like NLEX.

What to weigh
