Foton Philippines is the fourth local manufacturer to reveal their vehicle prices effective January 2018. And taking the lead from Hyundai, they have decided to freeze their prices more or less despite Republic Act 10963 or the TRAIN Law taking effect last New Year’s Day.

What is clear though is Foton’s decision to streamline their passenger vehicle offerings, cutting down the number of models and variants to just about a dozen.

Recently launched models such as the Toplander A/T retain their prices at least for January with both the 4x2 EL and 4x2 EX staying put at P 1,280,000 and P 1,400,000 respectively. The same goes for the Gratour MiniVan which remains at P 510,000.

Meanwhile, their TransVan has seen a modest P 20,000 increase for January with both the 13- and 15-seater models now at P 995,000. In comparison, the wide-body Traveller stays put at P 1,348,000.

The Thunder pick-up trucks sees anywhere between a P 60,000 to P 130,000 increase in its price for 2018 with the value-oriented E going up from P 780,000 to P 840,000, the 4x2 from 898,000 to P 988,000, and the 4x4 from 1,118,000 to P 1,248,000.

Foton’s heavyweight offering, the Toano luxury MPV sees a P 100,000 jump for both the Standard (P 1,788,000) and Executive (P 2,158,000) models.

January sees the discontinuation of the Toplander M/T models be it in 4x2 or 4x4 guise.
