Foton Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2

Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2 is a South African Pickup with a pickup body and diesel mild hybrid power.

The Tunland V9 VLX 4x2 is priced at R725,900 and serves as the entry point to Foton's V9 double-cab range. The current V9 shares the 5,617 mm overall length of the V7 and sits on a 3,355 mm wheelbase, but its rear suspension is a multi-link coil-spring arrangement. Because those changes arrive together, the price gap cannot be described as a clean cost for traction. Foton's official local material does not provide a grade-specific payload or loaded-clearance figure, so passengers, fitted accessories, luggage and any towball load must be reconciled before the vehicle is assigned a demanding role. The absence of a trim-matched V9 4x4 also means equipment wants and traction needs must be separated mentally even though the range bundles them at the next price. It offers the newer body's scale, the multi-link rear arrangement, an eight-speed automatic and 450 Nm without asking the owner to fund LTD specification and 4x4 together. The current V9 shares the newer 5,617 mm body footprint and uses a rear multi-link coil-spring arrangement. For Foton Tunland V9 VLX 4x2, the cited local powertrain line is: 2.0-litre turbo-diesel with 48-volt assistance, 120 kW, 450 Nm, eight-speed automatic and 4x2. VLX 4x2 — current South African listed price R725,900 as checked on 20 August 2026. Any trailer decision must also account for the not listed derivative payload rather than relying on the towing headline by itself. R725,900 secures the 120 kW and 450 Nm mild-hybrid powertrain with the coil-spring rear arrangement. A proper look at the Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2 begins with the local specification, then moves to the owner’s week. Here, Diesel Mild Hybrid power sits beside the VLX 4x2 trim, while an active listing sets a practical boundary. Here, a pickup body sits beside Diesel Mild Hybrid power, while a 8-Speed Automatic transmission sets a practical boundary for Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2. That combination is more useful than treating every derivative as interchangeable for Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2. The buyer should compare the actual vehicle offered in South Africa, including its price, equipment and support terms for Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2

Where the Foton Tunland V9 Double Cab Fits Best

A practical view of the buyer and roads this model is best suited to.

Who buys this

This derivative is for a buyer attracted to the V9 platform and cabin experience but unconvinced that four-wheel drive is necessary. Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2 makes the most sense for an owner whose route and budget agree with the VLX 4x2 trim

City
The large body needs deliberate parking assessment, while the coil-spring rear layout should be experienced both empty and with the owner's normal load rather than judged from specification alone. Drive the Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2 through the tightest parking area, a steep ramp, a speed hump and stop-start traffic. A South African price reference of R725,900 matters when the cabin or load is full, and engine of 2.0-litre AUCAN Turbocharged Diesel with 48V Mild Hybrid can change the cost of repeated short trips
Highway
That chassis detail helps explain its positioning as the more passenger-led, road-focused Tunland choice. Run Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2 at legal cruising speed, include a hill and a safe overtake, and see whether the driver can remain relaxed after an hour. The interaction between an active listing, a South African price reference of R725,900 and engine of 2.0-litre AUCAN Turbocharged Diesel with 48V Mild Hybrid is more informative than maximum speed
Off-Road
It uses a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel with 48-volt assistance, producing a published 120 kW and 450 Nm through an eight-speed automatic to the rear wheels. For Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2, the sensible check is the exact confirmed driven wheels arrangement, tyre specification, load and protection underneath

Foton Tunland V9 Double Cab VLX 4x2 review: Lower V9 price
Hagalu editorial review by Hagalu Editorial Team · 2026-09-07

Foton Tunland V9 VLX 4x2 is the double-cab pickup option at R725,900, with lower V9 price. The V9 VLX 4x2 is the sensible V9 for owners buying road comfort and a substantial automatic diesel double cab rather than an off-road promise. R725,900 secures the 120 kW and 450 Nm mild-hybrid powertrain with the coil-spring rear arrangement. Its case weakens when access is unpredictable, while the missing payload and loaded-clearance detail requires care. On predominantly paved routes, it avoids paying R74,000 for a bundled grade-and-driveline step. That clarity is its advantage. This Hagalu desk review weighs the published South African specification against the vehicle's intended buyer and use; it is not a road test, owner survey or customer rating.
