Foton Midi is equipped with three engines, which are a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.3L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 92 horsepower and a maximum torque of 122 Nm; the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 103 horsepower and a maximum torque of 130 Nm; the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 101 horsepower and a maximum torque of 134 Nm. In terms of body dimensions, the Foton Midi measures 4338mm in length, 1725mm in width, 1831mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2695mm.
The Foton Midi, as I recall, is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, primarily from Mitsubishi's 4G15 series, delivering around 80 horsepower. I drove it for quite some time and found its acceleration smooth, making it particularly suitable for city commuting, with decent fuel consumption averaging about 7-9 liters per 100 km. The engine noise is well controlled, so it's not too loud on long drives. Maintenance-wise, regular oil and filter changes are a must to prevent carbon buildup issues. If you frequently drive on mountain roads, the power might feel a bit lacking, but it's more than adequate for daily commuting. Overall, it's the mainstay engine in Foton's economy car lineup, offering high cost performance, few minor issues, and decent resale value in the used car market.
