FOTON is back – and it’s bringing serious muscle. – April 2025 Update
The all-new FOTON Tunland Ute makes its official Australian debut at the Melbourne Motor Show this weekend, 6 & 7 April – and it’s here to make a statement.
Arriving in Q3 2025, the Tunland V series is ready to shake up the local Ute scene. This is where FOTON flexes its global commercial vehicle and truck expertise. Transforming every job and every adventure into a powerhouse of rugged reliability and versatile performance.
The designers built the all-new Tunland range tough from the ground up for those who demand more from their Ute.. More strength, more capability, more presence. Whether it’s heavy towing, off-road exploring, or weekday work, Tunland delivers.
The all-new Tunland range will feature two variants:
- Tunland V7 is a no-nonsense workhorse available in both 2WD and 4WD. It’s practical, durable, and ready to get stuck in.
- Tunland V9 dials it up with coil-spring rear suspension for SUV-like comfort – the perfect blend of brawn and refinement.
Both models are powered by a 2.0L turbo-diesel engine paired with a 48V hybrid system. Offering a braked towing capacity of up to 3,500kg. FOTON’s global know-how in building tough commercial vehicles backs these Utes, which are engineered to go the distance.
Further enhancing its exceptional capabilities, the all-new Tunland features the advanced BorgWarner Electronic selectable 4WD System. This intuitive technology helps ensure superior traction, simplified with a one-button switch to effortlessly engage tailored 4WD modes. Torque amplification technology guarantees enhanced power distribution and optimal performance across varied terrains. All while preserving fuel economy.
“The new Tunland is where FOTON shows its strength,” said Glen Cooper, General Manager of FOTON Australia. “FOTON have taken everything they know about building hard-working trucks and packed it into a Ute. That’s built for how Australians live, work and explore. Backed by Inchcape’s customer-centricity and national distribution strength. Tunland is set to make serious impact – bold, capable, and built to deliver.”
This is the new era of FOTON. Tunland isn’t just arriving, it’s being unleashed.
