Foton South Africa reckons the new Tunland has enough going for it to dispel any reservations local buyers might have towards it being another Chinese-built bakkie.
Following in the footsteps of the first local Tunland, Foton this month presented the latest reiteration of its bakkie nameplate which now features the G7 designation.
With the single cab kicking off the new range at a price of R319 900 and the generously-specced double cab line-up starting at an eye-catching price of R399 900, the bakkie is making the right noises straight off the bat.
The Foton Tunland G7 will not only pose a serious threat to other Chinese-built bakkies, but can pry away market share from the likes of the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max.
A bakkie that means businessThis is no a cheap quick put-together product. It features top quality components and not everything is even made in China, says Greg Snodgrass, National Sales Manager for Proton South Africa .
