Performance

The Foton Tunland G7 is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, delivering a maximum output of 162 PS at 4000 rpm and peak torque of 390 Nm between 1800–2600 rpm.

The powertrain is optimized for durability and consistent power delivery, especially in load-bearing and off-road conditions.

For terrain versatility, the Tunland G7 features a BorgWarner part-time 4WD system in its top variants. Drivers can switch between 2H (high-range two-wheel drive) for everyday efficiency, AUTO mode for automatic torque distribution, 4H (four-wheel drive, high-range) for slippery surfaces, and 4L (four-wheel drive, low-range) for challenging off-road climbs. The system ensures the truck adapts quickly to both city and off-road environments.

In terms of efficiency, the Tunland G7 offers a claimed mileage of approximately 13.3 km per liter, supported by a large 80-liter fuel tank for extended range.
