Foton Tunland vs Maxus V80
Verdict
These are very different tools: the Foton Tunland is a five-seat AWD pickup with 161 hp and 450 Nm, while the Maxus V80 is a two-seat, front-drive commercial van with a 2,499 cc diesel, 136 hp and 330 Nm. The Maxus is the cheaper buy at RM102,076 against RM123,800, and it is much taller and longer in wheelbase. But the Foton counters with more output, automatic transmission and a seven-year warranty. For Malaysian buyers, the body style matters more than the badge here.
Pick the Foton Tunland if you need five seats, all-wheel drive, 450 Nm and an automatic in a pickup body.
Pick the Maxus V80 if you need a two-seat commercial van with a lower price, taller body and longer wheelbase.
