FOTON Tunland Ute Opens Pre-Orders Across Australia
Foton Tunland Range 2025 3
FOTON Australia has thrown its hat into the Ute ring and, frankly, it is not whispering. Pre-orders are now open for the all-new Tunland, a diesel mild-hybrid ute that aims to be as comfortable on the highway as it is useful on a worksite. It promises commercial-grade strength, SUV-like comfort and an attractive starting price that will make a few rivals sit up.
Where You Can Reserve One
You can reserve a Tunland online via the model page or through your nearest FOTON LCV retailer. Retail representation is already in place across key metropolitan and regional centres, including locations in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, the ACT and Western Australia. Towns with retail presence include Mackay North, Nambour, Slacks Creek, Artarmon, Parramatta, Penrith, Wollongong, Canberra, Bundoora, Deer Park, Mulgrave, Adelaide, Victoria Park, Townsville, Lilydale, Seymour, Cairns, Capalaba/Wynnum and Brisbane. More retail locations are expected to be confirmed ahead of first vehicle arrivals later this quarter.
Price, Warranty And Positioning
Pricing starts from $39,990. The Tunland is pitched as a shrewd alternative in the Ute market – a vehicle that blends the payload and toughness expected of a proper workhorse with the refinement and creature comforts drivers increasingly demand. It will launch with a seven year unlimited kilometre warranty for added reassurance.
Powertrain And Capability
The Tunland V7 and V9 are engineered from the ground up and tested in Australian conditions. Both grades are available in 4×2 and 4×4 and are powered by a 2.0 litre turbo-diesel engine paired with 48V mild-hybrid assistance and a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. That mix is designed to deliver a strong balance of performance, efficiency and driveability while supporting serious towing and payload duties.
V7 Versus V9
There are two model grades to suit different buyers. The V7 focuses on toughness and durability, aimed squarely at fleet and trade users with a focus on load-carrying capability. The V9 steps up the refinement with multi-link rear suspension and higher specification for customers who want a smoother ride and more creature comforts for lifestyle use.
Final Notes
With pre-orders open and national retail coverage expanding, the Tunland looks set to be a serious contender for drivers who need a capable, practical and reasonably priced ute that will not embarrass them on a weekend road trip. If you want one, reserve through the model page or visit your nearest FOTON LCV retailer to find out more.
