Overview

The 2026 Foton Tunland is a full-size diesel mild-hybrid pick-up for buyers who want five seats, all-wheel drive and automatic transmission in a work-ready Truck/4X4 format. It starts from RM123,800 and comes in V7 and V9 forms, each with 161 hp. Its Ford/Ram-influenced styling gives it a notably American-inspired look.

Tunland in 2026 — what's new

The current Tunland range arrives in Malaysia for 2026 as a new generation, with the V7 and V9 replacing the earlier preview pricing with confirmed showroom figures. Both use a 2.0-litre turbo diesel mild-hybrid powertrain, automatic transmission and AWD, producing 161 hp. There are no later 2026 changes announced beyond the V7 and V9 launch range. The two trucks differ in price by RM20,000, but share the listed mechanical specification.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the V7 at RM123,800. It has the same listed 161 hp diesel hybrid/REV powertrain, AWD, automatic gearbox and five-seat cabin as the V9, so there is no stated mechanical reason to spend more. The V9 costs RM143,800. On paper, that RM20,000 gap is for trim rather than powertrain or drivetrain; check its detailed equipment list before paying it. Choose the V9 only if its additional trim and features matter to you.

Verdict

The Tunland brings an unusual combination to this part of the market: a full-size pick-up body, 2.0-litre turbo diesel mild-hybrid assistance and AWD. Its entry price is higher than the Nissan Navara, JMC Vigus Pro, Mitsubishi Triton, JAC T9, Peugeot Landtrek and Ford Ranger. The V7 is the cleaner proposition because it retains the same listed drivetrain and output as the V9. Equipment details will decide how well either version justifies its asking price.
