Chery has revealed key details of its upcoming Stockman diesel plug-in hybrid ute, confirming its powertrain, electric range, towing capacity, dimensions and off-road equipment on its website (↗) ahead of its Australian arrival in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The Stockman will arrive as one of the most powerful utes in Australia’s increasingly competitive plug-in hybrid segment, with a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel plug-in hybrid system producing 350kW of power and 800Nm of torque. It will also offer up to 100km of electric-only driving range on the NEDC cycle, with Chery claiming combined fuel consumption of 2.0L/100km.

Towing capacity is rated at 3500kg with a braked trailer, while off-road equipment includes four-wheel drive, all-terrain tyres, triple differential locks, crawl control and tight-turn assist. Ground clearance is listed at 247mm.

The Stockman measures 5450mm long, 2010mm wide and 1890mm tall, with a 3250mm wheelbase. It features a 1560mm-long by 1560mm-wide cargo box with 500mm of height, along with double wishbone front suspension and leaf springs at the rear.

Inside, Chery lists features including leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control and premium audio. The ute will also receive locally tuned advanced driver assistance systems and suspension calibration.

The Stockman will be available in four colours: Obsidian, Sandstone, Serpentine and White Opal.

The Stockman enters a growing field of plug-in hybrid utes, with the recently revealed JAC Hunter PHEV claiming slightly more power at 360kW from its 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and dual electric motors. JAC’s system uses a 31.2kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery pack, with claimed electric-only range of up to 100km and a combined NEDC driving range of 1005km.

Chery confirmed the Stockman name after it was selected through a nationwide competition that attracted more than 20,000 entries. The name was chosen from a shortlist of finalists and was intended to reflect the connection between the ute and Australia’s rural heritage.

Pricing and final specifications will be confirmed closer to the Stockman’s Australian launch.
