ANOTHER Chinese brand is arriving in the UK with the introduction of commercial vehicle brand Foton to the market.

Bringing a fresh proposition to the pick-up market, the Tunland has been designed to balance rugged capability, advanced technology and refined everyday driving.

Set to launch in the UK in early 2027, the Foton Tunland combines the presence of a full-size pick-up with a comfort-focused interior and contemporary design.

It's aimed at customers who need more from their vehicle than traditional workhorse functionality alone.

The UK introduction marks an important step in Foton's international growth, bringing the brand's global expertise in commercial vehicles to British customers seeking additional choice in an increasingly diverse LCV sector.

The Tunland has a prominent front grille, distinctive lighting and muscular proportions. Its spacious double-cab configuration combines a practical load bed with ample seating for five, offering a flexible solution for both leisure and business use.

Under the bonnet, the Foton Tunland features a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Tunland has a comfort-oriented suspension configuration with a multi-link rear suspension designed to enhance ride quality and composure, particularly when unladen.

Inside, the Foton Tunland brings a modern but usable approach to the pick-up cabin, with physical button controls and passenger-focused comfort and equipment.

The interior uses soft-touch, stitched premium interior materials. Features include a large central touchscreen, a digital instrument display, automatic climate control, wireless smartphone charging, advanced driver-assistance technologies and a full and opening panoramic roof.

David Clark, brand manager at Foton UK, said:"We are pleased to introduce Foton to the UK, having previewed the brand to the market at the Commercial Vehicle Show earlier in 2026. The Foton Tunland represents our ambition to offer UK buyers a compelling alternative in the pick-up market, combining strikingly bold looks and the practical qualities they need with the comfort, technology and design they increasingly expect from their vehicles.

"Foton has many global commercial and engineering partnerships, meaning this is not just another Chinese entrant in the UK market. The result of this technical collaboration is a versatile mild-hybrid pick-up that can suit almost every requirement, be it business or pleasure, and we are eager to showcase the vehicle to the UK audience."

The Foton Tunland is expected to arrive in the UK in early 2027, with final specifications, pricing, model availability and further details of the UK sales and aftersales network to be announced in due course.

The strategic partnership between Foton and International Motors Ltd (IML) represents a significant milestone for Foton's arrival in the UK - a key market in its global growth strategy - while also strengthening International Motors' light commercial vehicle portfolio."
