AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/09 Report--

Another new car with its own brand is accused of being a "shanzhai". According to the latest news from the media, the Grand General, Foton's new pickup model, will be officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show at the end of this month, and then is expected to go on sale in November. The most striking thing about General Fukuda is that his appearance is very similar to that of an American brand pickup.

With the gradual relaxation or cancellation of relevant restrictions on pickup models in China, pickup sales continue to rise, and major car companies have also launched new pickup models to meet the market demand. On this basis, Futian Motor released a new pickup general and a new P4 platform pickup to further expand its pickup product line.

From the real car picture, General Fukuda uses a tough and muscular design style, which is a typical American wide-body pickup style, but the front face may remind you of an American brand pick-up truck. From the perspective of details, the new car uses a relatively straight grille design, with upper and lower "C" headlights on both sides, and the front looks burly and domineering.

What is very confusing in appearance is that the huge word "FOTON" is incorporated into the car online, which looks full of hardliners and a sense of power, but it is easy to make people look like an American brand pickup truck for the first time.

The new car also uses a hard-core front bumper and a large cross-country-style eyebrow on the side, and is equipped with off-road tires, black rims and red calipers, bringing a strong hard pie and cross-country style.

In terms of power, General Fukuda will provide three power options of 2.0T gasoline, 2.0T diesel and 2.5T diesel, of which the 2.0T gasoline version will have a maximum power of 238 horsepower (175 kW), while the 2.0T diesel version will have a maximum torque of 390 Nm; the transmission system matches the ZF 8-speed manual transmission.

One netizen said: "if you don't look carefully, you really think it's Ford." Some netizens also think that the domestic Fmuri 150 Raptor is coming. Of course, from the point of view of many consumers, General Fukuda's overall look is indeed very confusing.

According to the data, BAIC Foton was first established in 1996 and officially changed its name to "BAIC Foton Automobile Co., Ltd." on April 18, 2002. at present, it has developed into an important commercial vehicle enterprise in China, covering five major business units, such as trucks, passenger cars and commercial cars.
