Whether it is conquering rough terrain, hauling heavy loads or simply making the daily drive more exciting, Foton’s Tunland range brings serious capability to the double-cab market. The Tunland V7 and V9 are built with work, adventure and everyday driving in mind but each brings its own character to the road.
Tunland V9: Power meets premium
The Tunland V9 Double Cab is the bakkie for drivers who want rugged capability without giving up comfort and sophistication.
Its bold exterior makes a statement, with an aggressive grille, quad LED headlights, distinctive LED taillights, wide stance and impressive ground clearance. The reinforced load tray is designed for demanding work, while the overall design gives the V9 a confident presence, whether it is parked in town or tackling a rough trail.
Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre AUCAN turbo-diesel engine with 48V mild-hybrid assistance, combining strong performance with improved efficiency. The V9 can tow up to 3 500kg braked, while its selectable 4WD system gives drivers the confidence to venture beyond the tar. Its suspension setup, double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and multi-link coil springs at the rear, is designed to deliver both capability and a more comfortable ride. Foton quotes an average fuel consumption of around 9L/100km. Inside, the V9 adds a premium touch to the bakkie experience. A huge 14.6-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, electric-adjustable seats, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control and enhanced cabin insulation make long journeys more enjoyable. When the going gets tough, the V9 comes prepared with features including ABS, EBD, ESC, multiple airbags, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, pedestrian collision warning and reverse cross-traffic warning. The result is a bakkie that looks tough, works hard and still knows how to keep its occupants comfortable.
Tunland V7: Born to work
The Tunland V7 Double Cab takes a more rugged approach, with a clear focus on durability, practicality and getting the job done.
Available in 4×2 or 4×4, the V7 is designed for drivers who need a bakkie capable of handling both daily duties and demanding conditions.
Its muscular styling includes the signature quad LED headlights, bold grille, LED tail lights, reinforced load tray and generous ground clearance. It has the visual toughness expected of a workhorse and the capability to back it up.
Like the V9, the V7 is powered by a 2.0-litre AUCAN turbo-diesel engine with 48V mild-hybrid technology. It offers up to 3 500kg of braked towing capacity and an average fuel consumption figure of around 9L/100km. For those who regularly carry loads or tackle tougher working environments, the V7’s suspension combines double-wishbone independent front suspension with rear leaf springs, providing the durability expected from a hardworking bakkie. Hard work does not mean sacrificing comfort. The cabin features a 14.6-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, electric-adjustable driver’s seat, wireless charging, dual-zone air conditioning and enhanced noise insulation. Safety is also well covered, with ABS, EBD, ESC, multiple airbags, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, pedestrian collision warning and reverse cross-traffic warning. The V7 is therefore more than just a work tool. It is a bakkie built to carry the load, handle the road and keep going when the going gets tough.
