Foton Tunland V9 Exterior – Long term test week 1

admin — Sun, 06 Sep 2026 20:00:12 +0000

The Foton Tunland V9 makes a strong first impression. It has the kind of exterior design that is hard to ignore and exudes premium SUV styling with a strong off road character.

With a smooth hexagonal grill that seamlessly incorporates dual LED headlights. Fog lights and DRLs, it presents well. Lower body coloured bumper adds to the appeal.

From the side, the V9 looks equally impressive. A large body, raised stance and chunky wheel arches, with black fender flares give it plenty of road presence. The gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels suit the design well, adding to its rugged appearance without making it look overly aggressive.

The proportions of the Tunland V9 are another highlight. At over 5.6 metres long and more than two metres wide, it is a large Ute, and you can definitely see that in its design.

The high ground clearance makes it look ready for rougher terrain, while features such as the side steps, sports bar and roof rails add to its practical, adventure-ready appearance.

Around the back, the V9 keeps the design clean and functional, with integrated LED taillights, sculptured bumper and a large tray that reminds you this is still a working Ute.

Overall, the exterior combines rugged styling with modern details surprisingly well. It may not have the badge recognition of some of its rivals, but the Tunland V9 certainly has the looks to stand alongside them.

What is good?

Absolutely stunning value for money
Stylish mid-sized design
Interior space, comfort, and ambience.

What is not so good?

It’s underpowered for heavy duty work. Would love 20% more power.
No front massage seats ( I know that’s fussy ????)
Rated for 3500kg towing but better suited to 2500kg.

Foton Tunland Dual Cab Ute details Long term test 2026

admin — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 20:00:17 +0000

The Foton Tunland V7 and V9 are the latest additions to Australia’s growing dual-cab Ute market, offering a combination of capability, technology and value.

While both models share the same rugged platform and powertrain, they are designed to appeal to different buyers.

The V7 is the work-focused option, available in both 4×2 and 4×4 configurations with leaf-spring rear suspension for durability and load-carrying ability.

The V9 is aimed at buyers wanting extra comfort and refinement, featuring standard 4WD, multi-link rear suspension and a more premium interior with additional technology and convenience features.

Powering both Utes is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The engine produces 120kW of power and 450Nm of torque, with drive sent through a smooth ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.

The mild-hybrid system improves efficiency and assists with low-speed performance while maintaining a claimed combined fuel consumption of around 8.0L/100km. Both models also offer a braked towing capacity of up to 3,500kg.

Pricing starts from around AUD $39,990 for the Tunland V7 4×2, with the V7 4×4 priced from $42,990. The V9 range begins at $45,990, while the flagship V9-S is available from $49,990 before on-road costs, making the Tunland range a competitively priced alternative in the Ute segment.

Over the next few weeks, we will be chatting about all the models and features.
