2018 Foton Tunland Facelift

Foton has launched the Tunland facelift in China with a through exterior makeover and a revised interior at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show. The Tunland now carries a more solid and stylish appearance.

As before, the Foton Tunland will be available in two versions- standard and extended, with dimensions of 5310×1880×1860 mm and 5603×1880×1860 mm, and the wheelbases of 3105 mm and 3398 mm.

Foton Tunland is a 4-door double-cabin pickup with 2-rows and 5-seat capacity. A single-cabin version is yet to be introduced. There are 3 trims available, the base model E3, the up-spec E5 and the flagship model S.

The new Tunland’s exterior features a new front-end design giving it a more modern look as the previous version was more reminiscent to the 7th generation Toyota Hilux. The facelift incorporates a new grille with three solid horizontal slats, compact headlights and a completely reformatted bumper with wide side sections used to accommodate fog lights and LED day-time running lights. Instead of body colored wheel arches, the facelift now features black colored wheel arches, while the rear-end features a redesigned bumper.

The interior receives a radical change in the architecture of the front panel, with improved equipment and improved quality of materials. There is a new instrument panel with dials of speedometer and tachometer recessed in classic wells, a modern multimedia system with a large color screen (integration with smartphones, navigation, rear view camera), a convenient climate control unit, a modified central tunnel and decorated door cards.

The 2018 Tunland facelift is powered by 2.4 liter petrol with 136 hp & 200 Nm and 2.8 liter turbocharged diesel engine with 116 hp & 280 Nm of peak torque. Both the engines are mated to a 5-speed manual transmission while the vehicle is available in both 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive versions. The flagship S version, gets a re-tuned 2.8 liter turbocharged diesel engine with 163 hp & 360 Nm of peak torque, paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
