The Foton Tunland is a hard-working ute, and like any vehicle that spends its days out under a harsh Australian sun, its dashboard pays the price. This collection covers tailored dash mats for the Tunland, laid over the top of the factory dash to shield it from UV, cut the glare thrown onto the windscreen and keep the cabin cooler when the ute has been sitting in the open all day. It is a small, inexpensive addition that solves a problem every Tunland owner recognises, and below is exactly what the range fits and why it works.
Made for the Tunland P201
The dash mats here are Sunland dash mats shaped specifically for the Foton Tunland P201 built between 2012 and 2017. Rather than a generic rectangle draped over the dash, each mat is patterned to the P201's exact layout, with cut-outs that clear the air vents, the sensors and the instrument line so nothing important is covered or obstructed. That tailored shape is what lets the mat lie flat and look like it belongs in the cabin, following the curves of the dash instead of bunching or riding up at the edges.
Black or charcoal to suit your cabin
The Tunland range comes in two finishes, black and charcoal, so you can match the mat to your interior trim rather than settling for whatever is available. Black keeps things dark and understated, blending into most cabins, while charcoal lifts the tone a touch and does a slightly better job of hiding dust between cleans. Both share the same tailored fit and the same low-sheen surface that sits quietly under the windscreen without drawing attention to itself or throwing reflections back at the driver.
Stopping the dash from cracking
Constant UV exposure is what turns a dashboard brittle, faded and eventually cracked, and once the plastic splits there is no repairing it. A dash mat takes that punishment on its own surface instead, acting as a sacrificial layer that shields the plastic underneath. For a ute like the Tunland that lives outdoors on job sites and station tracks, exposed to the sun day after day, it is genuinely cheap protection for a part that is expensive and awkward to replace if it ever fails.
Less glare, easier driving
A bare, shiny dash bounces sunlight straight up into the windscreen, and that veiling glare is tiring and distracting on a long drive, particularly in the low morning and afternoon sun. The matte surface of a tailored mat absorbs and scatters those reflections rather than mirroring them upward, so you get a clearer, more comfortable view down the road in bright conditions. On a ute that racks up highway kilometres, that reduction in glare is a real day-to-day benefit, not just a cosmetic one.
A cooler cabin on hot days
Dark plastic dashboards soak up heat through the windscreen and then radiate it back into the cabin, adding to the load on the air-conditioning. The soft, insulating top layer of a dash mat reduces that build-up, so less heat is stored in the dash and released as you drive. It takes some of the sting out of climbing into a Tunland that has baked in the open through a long summer afternoon, and it helps the cabin cool down a little faster once you get moving.
Confirm your fit and order
Getting the right mat is simple. Check that your Tunland is a P201 built within the 2012 to 2017 window, then choose black or charcoal to suit your trim. With the right match you get a dash mat cut for your Foton, ready to sit neatly in place from the day it arrives, with no trimming or fuss. It is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to protect and freshen the front of the cabin on a ute that does more than its share of hard yards in the sun.
