Foton Traveller

The 2025 Foton Traveller XL’s seats are upholstered in fabric that are durable and comfortable. Hard plastics dominate the dashboard. The overall finish feels much improved compared to earlier Traveller models. The plastics are practical and polished. They don’t look cheap. The cabin can accommodate up to 19 passengers with an ergonomic front-to-rear seating layout that maximises space. Driver-focused comforts include lumbar support, adjustable headrest, and a height-adjustable seat for enhanced ergonomics. The dashboard gets a 2-DIN touchscreen infotainment system that comprises radio, MP5/video playback, and Bluetooth. The 2025 Foton Traveller XL gets a manual air-conditioning system that includes front and ceiling-mounted rear air vents. The tall bubble-roof design maximizes headroom, aids airflow and spatial comfort. Convenience features include a tilting steering column, 12-volt accessory outlets, interior reading lamps, power windows, and powered side-view mirrors. All passengers get an individual headrest. The seas get ergonomic padding and support.

The 2025 Foton Traveller XL measures 5,555 mm in length, 1,920 mm in width, and 2,285 in height. The vehicle has a wheelbase of 3,110 mm. The front-end design is conservative and functional. There’s a rectangular grille flanked by square halogen headlamps. A clean front bumper houses the fog lamps. The design is utilitarian and prioritizes space over style. The 2025 Foton Traveller XL runs on 16-inch alloy wheels that are proportionate to its size. Earlier Traveller versions had 15-inch wheels. The raised stance along with modest wheel arches contribute to a commanding road presence and useful ground clearance. The elevated roof provides plentiful standing room to ensure easier movement inside and comfortable ingress and egress that’s particularly important for its role as a multi-passenger vehicle. The sliding side doors facilitate effortless movement that’s ideal for frequent passenger boarding. Some models get side steppers, roof rails, and even a foldable rear table. 

The 2025 Foton Traveller XL offers decent seat comfort. The sets are wide and cushioned that reduce fatigue during long-distance travel. The high-density foam provides moderate support. Lumbar adjustment is somewhat limited for the passengers. The fabric upholstery is durable but lacks the premium feel found in most Japanese and European rivals. The 2025 Foton Traveller XL offers generous legroom and headroom, particularly in the rear rows that enhances passenger comfort. The vehicle is mounted on a front independent setup with leaf springs at the back. The system is more tuned for load-carrying. The 2025 Foton Traveller XL handles rough roads reasonably well. Unladen rides may feel bouncy and sharp bumps are felt inside the cabin.

The 2025 Foton Traveller XL is hauled by a four-cylinder, 2.8-litre diesel engine that produces 135 PS/130 Nm. The motor is mated to six-speed manual transmission (MT). On city roads, the powertrain offers smooth low-end torque, making start-stop traffic manageable. But the vehicle’s large size limits quick manoeuvrability on congested roads. Acceleration is steady rather than brisk. It suits 2025 Foton Traveller XL’s commercial nature. On highways, the powertrain maintains a comfortable cruising speed with decent overtaking ability when fully loaded. But the engine feels strained when pushed beyond 100 kmph. The noise insulation levels are acceptable for its segment. Highway cruise noise is audible inside the cabin.

The 2025 Foton Traveller XL comes with a reverse parking camera and proximity sensors that aid in easier manoeuvring in tight spaces. The vehicle is equipped with antilock braking. Dual front airbags offer better occupant protection. Additional safety elements include seatbelt reminders, side-impact protection, and a high-mounted stop lamp. Overall, the 2025 Foton Traveller XL integrates essential driver-assist features for improved visibility and collision prevention.

The 2025 Foton Traveller XL has a starting price of ₱1.6 million. The vehicle is spacious, comfort, and practical, making it a reliable choice for long trips.
