Performance

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.
