The 2026 Foton Tunland G7 punches above its weight this round, presenting a wider and longer wheelbase for a bold road presence, big enough to give the likes of the Ford Ranger and GWM P-Series a run for their money. Are Kenyans really ready for this car because it is more than a pick-up? It has the comfort level of an SUV, a solid tray capacity, and most importantly, it has a lower acquisition cost compared to all its rivals. Show me just one Kenyan who will refuse to buy this car because it encompasses everything Kenyans look for in a car, most importantly price. If you are a farmer, a contractor, or an overlander, don’t think twice; just ask me how much? And where do you want it delivered?

EXTERIOR
The 2026 Foton Tunland G7 is more refreshing and modern compared to its predecessor. It is wider, has a long wheelbase, characteristics that lend it a bold and muscular appearance. The front-end is distinguished by a prominent honeycomb grille with chrome accents, FOTON lettering, LED headlights & daytime running lights, and an aggressive bumper for a commanding look. The bonnet is very high, giving the vibes of an American pickup.
The long wheelbase on the side profile results in a roomy interior. Side steps are present for easy embarking and disembarking. The pronounced wheel arches wrap around 17-inch alloy wheels, and a sports bar over the massive tray injects premium refinement.
The rear is more functional without leaving style and pomp. You have distinctive LED taillights, a rear step bumper, and a tow hitch to pull a caravan or a trailer. If you want to add aftermarket accessories and custom body kits like a bull bar, a roof rack, a canopy, a rooftop tent, or a side awning, visit: SAFARI SPARES.
INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The 2026 Foton Tunland G7 interior is an aviation-inspired cockpit because there’s nothing close to utility; it’s comfort, tech, and practicality. With a seating arrangement for five people, each row has plenty of legroom and headroom. The driver has excellent visibility of oncoming traffic.
The seats are upholstered in premium leather; at the center of the dashboard sits a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system embedded with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto; you have dual-zone climate control, voice command, Bluetooth connectivity, and multiple storage compartments.

PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The 2026 Foton Tunland G7 is powered by a 2.0 L Turbocharged diesel churning out 161 horsepower and 390NM of torque, powerful enough to carry your potatoes from Nyandarua to Nairobi, or pull a trailer full of Sugarcane from Bungoma to Mumias Sugar Company.
The engine has strong low-end torque. On the highway, it overtakes smoothly and confidently. Most importantly, you don’t have to dig deeper into your pockets in the name of fueling.
