2025 Foton Tunland 4x4 Ute FIRST LOOK – the ultimate bargain?

The 2025 Foton Tunland V7-C 4x4 Review (Aus) is under priced and oversized. It’s VERY appealing on paper… but what’s it like in the real world? Is this Chinese ute the ultimate bargain or too cheap to be true? At just $42,990 before on-roads, the reborn Foton Tunland undercuts even the cheapest Ford Ranger 4x4 dual cab while offering maximum real estate for your money. It’s big! With a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel mild hybrid engine producing 120kW/450Nm, an eight-speed ZF auto, BorgWarner 4x4 system with rear diff lock, and a solid 1050kg payload capacity, the specs look impressive on paper. But can this Chinese workhorse deliver where the forgettable original Tunland failed a decade ago? Yes… and no. There’s several quirks and mis-steps here that remind you this isn't a Japanese or European ute. There's also no ANCAP rating until 2026, and questions remain about long-term reliability and dealer network support. So is the Foton Tunland V7-C a dual cab bargain or a risky budget punt? With pricing sharper than GWM Cannon, JAC T9, and KGM Musso, you're getting massive space and capability for the money – but it comes with compromises. Watch our full video to see if this Chinese challenger is worth the gamble or if you should stick with established players.
