Foton Tunland G7: Officially Launched in Nepal

Foton’s highly anticipated pickup truck, the Tunland G7, made its official debut in Nepal during a grand unveiling event at The Plaza in Pulchowk. This launch marks a significant milestone in Nepal’s automotive market as the Tunland G7 arrives with a globally recognized achievement: conquering eight of the highest and most demanding terrains in the world within just 23 days. The vehicle was thoroughly tested across 15,000 kilometers of extreme conditions before being introduced to the Nepali public, a testament to its strength and reliability.
The launch ceremony, held on 8th Ashad, brought together senior representatives from both Foton and its local partner, MAW Vriddhi Commercial. Key figures included Vivek Sikaria, Managing Director of MAW Vriddhi, Eric Wang, General Manager for South Asia at Foton International, Li Zuocheng from Beiqi Foton, Emily Ding from Foton’s Passenger Vehicle Business division, Leo Zhao, and Tushar Gupta, CEO of MAW Vriddhi Commercial. Together, they celebrated the arrival of a vehicle engineered to tackle the unique challenges of Himalayan terrain.
Speaking at the event, Vivek Sikaria reflected on the partnership with Foton and expressed pride in the trust that has resulted in over 1,500 Foton vehicles sold in Nepal, including more than 500 pickups. He emphasized the company’s commitment to service excellence, highlighting that the Tunland G7 offers 20 percent lower maintenance costs compared to competitors, thanks to the robust after-sales and spare parts infrastructure developed across the country.
As part of the launch, customers who had pre-booked the Tunland G7 were presented with their new vehicles, symbolizing the beginning of a new era for rugged transport solutions in Nepal.
Built for the toughest roads, the Tunland G7 is equipped with a powerful 2.0L diesel engine delivering 160 horsepower and 390 Nm of torque. With 225 mm of ground clearance, Hill Hold Control, and Hill Descent Control, the G7 is perfectly suited for Nepal’s steep hills, unpaved routes, and unpredictable mountain conditions. Despite its rugged exterior and high-performance core, the G7 offers exceptional comfort and modern tech features. Its interior includes a 12.3-inch infinity screen, electrically adjustable heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and automatic climate control, ensuring a premium driving experience in all weather.
What makes the G7 stand out even further is its dual identity — tough enough for demanding roads, yet refined enough for urban driving. This combination allows it to serve both commercial and personal use, from long business hauls to scenic family trips in the hills.
The pickup is available in multiple trims to suit diverse needs. The pricing begins at NPR 51.99 lakh for the Elite model, NPR 65.40 lakh for the Luxury, and NPR 69.99 lakh for the top-tier Flagship variant. Two additional versions, 2.0L Diesel 4×2 MT Comfort and 2.0L Diesel 4×4 MT Comfort, also feature the reliable 2.0L diesel engine and include essentials like a 10.25-inch infotainment system, Bluetooth, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, Hill Hold Assist, rear-view camera, and an electronic differential lock.
The Tunland G7’s successful navigation of eight world-renowned terrains in less than a month reinforces its claim as a global leader in endurance. Foton’s engineering vision is clearly rooted in both innovation and real-world utility, tailored for markets like Nepal where vehicles are expected to deliver in challenging environments.
MAW Vriddhi Commercial, the authorized distributor of Foton vehicles in Nepal, continues to push boundaries by introducing technologically advanced vehicles to meet local demand. With a growing network for support and a focus on long-term customer value, MAW Vriddhi is strengthening its presence in Nepal’s evolving commercial vehicle segment.
With the official arrival of the Tunland G7, Nepal now has access to a pickup that matches international benchmarks for performance, design, and comfort while catering specifically to its diverse topography and road conditions.
