The all-new TUNLAND brings a compelling new alternative to the Australian ute market – combining commercial-grade strength and space, adventure-ready capability, smart hybrid efficiency and SUV-inspired comfort in a refined, value-packed offering tailored to the needs of modern Australian drivers.
Engineered from the ground up and tested across tens of thousands of kilometres in Australian conditions, the TUNLAND V7 & V9 is available in 4x2 and 4x4 configurations, both powered by a robust 2.0-litre Aucan turbo-diesel engine, paired with 48V mild-hybrid technology and a smooth ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination enables a robust 3,500kg* tonne braked towing capacity, making it the ideal companion for work and play.
The two model grades, V7 & V9, cater to diverse buyer needs:
• V7 prioritises core toughness and durability, perfect fleet and trade use, with over 1,000kg payload.
• V9 brings enhanced refinement with multi-link rear suspension, higher grade features and a smoother ride for lifestyle-oriented customers.
The TUNLAND will launch with a seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty**, offering added peace of mind from the moment you drive out of the showroom.
With pre-orders now open, FOTON’s growing National Retailer Network is ready to welcome customers, with representation already secured across key metropolitan and regional locations in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, ACT and Western Australia. More FOTON LCV Retail locations are anticipated to be confirmed in the lead-up to first vehicle arrivals later this quarter.
Glen Cooper, General Manager, FOTON Australia, said: “This is an exciting and major milestone for the brand and for Australian drivers. The all-new TUNLAND offers something truly unique – the space and toughness of a larger workhorse, paired with the comfort and driveability of a modern SUV, all without a premium price tag. It’s been locally tested and tuned for our conditions, and now with pre-orders open plus healthy Retail representation across the country, we’re another step closer to getting this capable new ute into Aussie driveways.”
