The Foton Gratour is priced at PHP 490,000 for both the 7- and 8-seater models, and is only available in the V5 variant.

The Toano can seat 18 occupants, and is offered in various chassis configurations to suit a customer's preferences. In addition, the Toano comes with various different wheelbases and roof tops.

Safety has been prioritized in the Toano, featuring ABS with EBD, rear cameras and sensors. The Toano also comes with high-strength steel plates, anti-collision beams, three-point pretensioner seat belts for all passengers, and an energy-absorbing steering column.

Powering the Toano is a 2.8-liter ISF Cummins CRDi Euro IV engine delivering 160 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque. The sole gearbox is a six-speed manual enabling it to achieve a mileage of 11.5 km/l according to Foton.
