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
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
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]
