Inside, the cabin features an aviation-inspired cockpit with dual 12.3″ digital displays for infotainment and instrumentation. Higher trims boast heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, ambient lighting, and over 15 storage compartments. Lower trims come with fabric seats and manual adjustments. The double-cab seats five passengers comfortably, while the single-cab accommodates two.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is comprehensive with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill assist, hill descent control, and TPMS. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and 360° cameras with blind-spot monitoring are available on higher trims. The vehicle also features a high-strength steel body, six airbags, and crash-energy management for enhanced occupant protection.
Performance and Driving Modes
Powered by a Cummins-sourced 2.0 L diesel engine, the Tunland G7 delivers strong low-end torque ideal for off-road and steep terrain driving. The four selectable drive modes adapt to various conditions:
- 2H for normal roads
- Auto for dynamic traction
- 4H for slippery surfaces
- 4L for serious off-roading
Additionally, ECO and Sport modes optimize noise, vibration, harshness (NVH), and performance characteristics.
Market Position and Outlook
The Tunland G7 competes with pickups like the Isuzu Hi-Lander but stands out with a longer wheelbase, larger cabin, and richer features. It offers dependable performance and good fuel efficiency (~9 L/100 km), though the ride is firm, typical of pickups. It is well-suited for Nepal’s demanding road and off-road conditions.
Booking and Availability
Bookings for the Foton Tunland G7 are open at MAW Vriddhi dealerships across Nepal. Test drives for both 4×2 and 4×4 models are available following the launch. Buyers should confirm warranty and after-sales service details with the dealer.
Final Words:
The Foton Tunland G7 is a compelling pickup option in Nepal’s Rs 52–75 Lakh segment, combining robust diesel power, versatile drivetrains, advanced safety, and SUV-level comfort. It is an excellent choice for buyers seeking a rugged yet refined vehicle for both urban and challenging terrains.
