Tunland V7 and V9 5.25 and 5.55 million rubles are officially entering the Russian market. On March 18, their premiere was held in Moscow, which was held by MB Rus, the former local Mercedes-Benz unit. Both pickups, Foton Tunland V7 and Tunland V9, are full-sized and equipped with a “soft hybrid” installation: a turbodiesel has a 48-volt “electrical boot”, which helps with acceleration. The design of cars slightly resembles the American Ford F-150 and RAM 1500.
Under the names of Tunland V7 and V9, the models are launched in Russia, while in their native China they are called Foton Mars 7 and Mars 9, respectively. In the home market, pickups have been sold since 2023, and at the beginning of 2025, the Russian MB Rus confirmed that she would act an exclusive importer and Foton distributor and bring these cars to us with a guarantee for a period of three years or 150 thousand kilometers of run.
Between themselves, pickups are distinguished by design and equipment, while their dimensions are the same: 5.54 meters in length, two meters wide, 1.9 meters in height and 3.35 meters between the axles. The dimensions of the cargo platform are 1560 × 1650 × 530 millimeters, the equipped mass is 2.2 tons, the carrying capacity is 775 kilograms, and the road clearance is 240 millimeters.
