Foton MPX

Is the Foton MPX really powered by a CRDi engine? I chanced upon one in their booths in SM. The badges at the back tell that the unit should be CRDi but a peek in the engine compartment reveals an old 4JB1.

Nope. It's got the same engine as the Isuzu Fuego of the 90's. My friend has one. Doesn't feel anything near a CRDi.

Sana ibenta nang Foton Phils ang version na to.

That's the problem. They have a CRDi badging but its engine makes a 4D56 look futuristic.

Maganda naman sya IMHO.

Test drove one today and ayos lang sya!

Foton View ang sinasabi mo at based naman yun sa previous generation Hi-Ace Commuter.

Iba ang Foton MPX at mukha syang Grand Starex:

saw a Foton MPX with a red plate.

in fairness, it's quite a looker and the engine sounds similar to CRDIs not like the old isuzu engines.

Yun nga eh. Since same lang pala ng engine ng Fuego ito, eh proven and tested for it's reliability na. But yung suspension and other electricals, shocks ,etcetera ... niya kaya ?
