Foton Tunland vs Mazda 6 Grand Touring
Verdict
The Foton Tunland is the cheaper, larger 5-seat choice: RM123,800 buys a 5,617 mm pickup with AWD, 450 Nm and a 7-year warranty. The Mazda 6 Grand Touring costs RM230,848 and is the road-biased wagon, with 185 hp, 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds, 218 km/h top speed, 522 litres of boot space, 6 airbags and AEB. For a Malaysian buyer, this is less about size alone and more about usage: load-lugging pickup toughness against a quicker, safer family wagon on paper.
Pick the Foton Tunland if you want the bigger AWD pickup, stronger 450 Nm torque figure and lower purchase price.
Pick the Mazda 6 Grand Touring if you want the quicker petrol wagon with 6 airbags, AEB and a stated 522-litre boot.
