Kathmandu– In a landmark moment for Nepal’s automotive landscape, Foton’s flagship pickup, the Tunland G7, was officially launched at The Plaza, Pulchowk. The Tunland G7 has already made history as the world’s first pickup to conquer 8 of the highest and toughest off-road terrains in just 23 days, and was rigorously tested over 15,000 kilometers before making its debut in Nepal.
The grand unveiling held on 8th Ashad was led by Mr. Vivek Sikaria, Managing Director of MAW Vriddhi, Mr. Eric Wang, General Manager of South Asia, Foton International, Mr. Li Zuocheng PR Director of Beiqi Foton & Key Account Director of Foton International, Ms. Emily Ding, Senior Marketing Manager Foton International Passenger Vehicle Business, Mr. Leo Zhao, Mr Tushar Gupta CEO of MAW Vriddhi Commercial who collectively celebrated the arrival of this revolutionary vehicle tailored for Himalayan terrain.
During the Launch Event, Mr. Vivek Sikaria said “Despite the odds in Nepal, we decided to partner with Foton, and I am proud to say that our trust has been rewarded. In the past five to six years, we have sold more than 1,500 Foton vehicles in Nepal, including over 500 pickups”. Further he focused, “We have left no stone unturned when it comes to after-sales service and spare parts. Whether it’s preventive maintenance or accidental repairs, the maintenance cost of the G7 is 20% less than others in the market.”
Following the launch event, key handovers were made to customers who had previously booked the Tunland G7.
Foton Tunland G7: Built for Himalayas
With a bold legacy of being the first to launch an autonomous commercial vehicle in China, Foton continues to stay ahead with cutting-edge design, and the Tunland G7 is a living, breathing example of that innovation.
The Tunland G7 has been crafted for those who seek both strength and intelligence on wheels. With its 160 HP power and 390 Nm of torque, the G7 gives unmatched performance, especially on all terrains of Nepal. Being high on the 225 mm ground clearance, the G7 can handle uneven roads, inclining hills, and unpredictable Himalayan roads with confidence. The Hill Hold Control and Hill Descent Control keep you secure on every climb and descent, and the push-start engine button is conveniently at your fingertips.
But tough capability is not everything. The Tunland G7 is not short on comfort either. The cabin welcomes you with a 12.3-inch infinity screen, perfect for the navigation and entertainment needs of today. It has heated and ventilated seats with electric 12-way adjustment, treating drivers and passengers to an experience made for weather. The panoramic sunroof can open to the sky, reminding us that, despite the power of the vehicle, there is always room for beauty and airiness. And, of course, the automatic air conditioning brings comfort regardless of the season.
Foton has always believed in innovation with purpose, and with the official launch of the Foton Tunland G7, that purpose now meets the indomitable Nepali spirit. Launched at The Plaza, Pulchowk, the G7 isn’t just another addition to Nepal’s growing automotive market, it is a vehicle designed for Nepal. This next-generation pickup is a celebration of the hardworking spirit of Nepalis who wake up with the sun and navigate the heights of the Himalayas with grit and grace.
The Tunland G7 answers the needs of every corner of Nepal, from the daily demands of a business owner in need of a reliable, high-performance transport solution to the dreams of a family man seeking scenic weekend escapes into the hills. With over 15,000 kilometers of rigorous testing under extreme off-road conditions and being the first pickup in the world to conquer eight of the most challenging trails in just 23 days, the G7 proves itself as a symbol of endurance and capability.
The Foton Tunland G7 is available in three variants with a starting price of NPR 51.99 lakh for the Elite, NPR 65.40 lakh for the Luxury, and NPR 69.99 lakh for the Flagship model.
With innovation at its peak and the heart of Nepal under the hood, the Foton Tunland G7 is more than just a pickup, it’s a partner in progress. It doesn’t just drive; it leads. Designed to represent strength, resilience, and ambition, this vehicle is built for those who refuse to slow down, even when the roads get tough.
The Tunland G7 is available in two variants, 2.0L Diesel 4×2 MT Comfort and 2.0L Diesel 4×4 MT Comfort. Both are powered by a robust 2.0L diesel engine known for its high torque and fuel efficiency. Key features include a 10.25-inch infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, rear-view camera, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, Hill Hold Assist, and an electronic differential lock.
