Foton South Africa has expanded its Tunland G7 line-up a year after returning to the local bakkie market, adding a 4×4 version of the single cab. Here’s what it costs…
With a year having passed since the Foton Tunland G7 returned to South Africa’s bakkie market, the Chinese automaker has launched a new derivative in the form of a 4×4 single cab.
As a reminder, the latest Tunland G7 officially arrived in Mzansi in June 2024, with the local portfolio comprising 5 double-cab derivatives and a solitary rear-wheel-drive single-cab variant at launch. Now, however, a new 4×4 single cab has touched down.
So, what does it cost? Well, the Tunland G7 2.0TD Single Cab 4×4 is priced at R419 900, making it R90 000 more than the 4×2 derivative (now priced at R329 900 but launched at R319 900). As with all other Tunland G7 variants, power comes from a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine that develops 120 kW and 390 Nm. Drive is delivered to all 4 corners via a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Compared with its 4×2 sibling, this latest addition adds not only 4×4 but also a differential lock, stability control, hill-descent control, tyre-pressure monitoring, heated-and-ventilated front seats (an unusual inclusion in a single-cab workhorse), LED daytime running lights and 17-inch alloy wheels (as opposed to 16-inch steelies).
Standard features shared by the 2 single-cab derivatives include items like a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster, electric windows, automatic air-conditioning, ABS with EBD and rear parking sensors. The listed payload capacity is 1 000 kg, while the braked towing capacity comes in at 3 000 kg and the ground clearance at 210 mm.
Foton South Africa began reporting Tunland G7 sales figures to industry representative body Naamsa in February 2025, with its tally of 201 units seeing it crack the list of Mzansi’s 10 best-selling bakkies that month. Tunland G7 sales increased to 236 units in March, with a further 212 units sold in April and 216 units registered in May.
