The closed presentation of the new Foton Tunland G9 pickup will take place on February 10, 2026. This was reported by the press service of MB Rus JSC, the official distributor of the Chinese brand in Russia. According to information on the company's website, sales are scheduled to start as early as February 11, that is, almost immediately after the premiere.
The technical characteristics of the new product have not yet been disclosed. It is only known that the Tunland G9 is positioned as a modern pickup with a brutal appearance and a comfortable interior. The model will expand the Russian line of Foton pickups, which already includes Tunland G7, Tunland V7 and Tunland V9. As a reminder, the V7 and V9 versions appeared on the Russian market in April 2025.
The release of the Tunland G9 occurs against the background of a decline in interest in the pickup segment. According to the Avtostat agency, citing statistics from PPK JSC, 22 thousand new pickups were sold in Russia last year, which is 25% less than the year before. The market leaders were the brands Jac, Great Wall and Sollers, and among the models, the most popular were Jac T9, Great Wall Poer and UAZ "Pickup". In these conditions, the new Foton will try to occupy its niche and strengthen the brand's position in the segment.
