2025 Foton Tunland priced ultra aggressively

The 2025 Foton Tunland has been priced from $39,990 plus on-road costs, with four variants set to land in Aussie showrooms over the coming months.

Said variants are the entry-level V7-C 4x2 and 4x4 ($42,990), the V9-L 4x4 ($45,990) and flagship V9-S 4x4 ($49,990), registrations of interest for which have all now opened.

Every Tunland is powered by a mild hybrid 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine outputting 120kW/450Nm and features an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission; two key components in achieving the range-wide 3500kg braked towing capacity.

The local line-up is split into two halves: the V7s are about durability and commercial usability with 1000+kg payloads, while the dearer V9s are aimed more at private buyers with their “higher level of refinement” and coil-sprung multi-link rear ends that trim the payload to 995kg.

Standard equipment on the workhorses extends to a 12-3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.6-inch infotainment screen, LED exterior lighting, single-zone climate control, a four-speaker sound system, a spray In-tub liner, voice recognition, adaptive cruise control and 360-degree camera.

As for the mechanicals, the 4x4 version bundles in a full-time 4x4 system (2H, Auto, 4H, 2L), low-range gearing, a rear diff lock, off-road drive modes and all-terrain tyres.

The V9-L then ups the equipment ante with sidesteps, power-folding and heated mirrors, 18-inch alloy wheels, sports bar, a lockable tray, dual-zone climate control, six speakers, a 220V/300W power outlet, auto-dimming rearview mirror, wireless charge pad, heated and power-adjustable front seats and of course that multi-link rear suspension set-up.

At the top of the tree, the V9-S adds a driver monitoring system, front differential lock, memory driver’s seat and wing mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, roof rails, rear privacy glass, facial recognition, ventilated front and heated rear outboard seats.

The two series can be differentiated by their unique front fascias; the V7 flaunts vertical headlight stacks and a broader grille while the V9 adopts more traditional horizontal clusters and a decagonal grill.

There are no differences in their key off-road specs however: 240mm of ground clearance, approach, breakover and departure angles of 28, 21 and 26 degrees respectively, and a maximum wading depth of 700mm.

All Tunlands measure 5617mm long and sit on a 3355mm wheelbase but vary in width and height, with the V7s being 2000mm wide and 1910mm tall compared to the V9’s 2090mm (wheelarch extensions) x 1955mm (roof rails).

Headline safety features across the range include hill descent control, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, front collision warning, lane departure warning, pedestrian collision warning, lane keep assist, lane centring, traffic sign recognition, emergency signal system, blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert and trailer stability assist.

Not wanting to lose out to its archrival, the GWM Cannon Alpha, the 2025 Foton Tunland will arrive here backed by a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty.
