Chery Stockman pricing revealed; new entry-level Urban variant added

Chery has revealed Australian pricing and specifications for its Stockman diesel hybrid ute, with a new entry-level Urban variant joining the range below the flagship Ultimate.

The Stockman Urban is priced at $52,990, while the better-equipped Ultimate comes in at $57,990. Both variants use a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, combining a diesel engine with electric motors for a claimed system output of 350kW and 800Nm. Drive is sent to all four wheels through a dedicated hybrid transmission.

A 34kWh lithium iron phosphate battery provides up to 100km of electric driving range on the NEDC test cycle, according to Chery. The battery supports 6.6kW AC charging and 70kW DC fast charging, while an 80-litre fuel tank provides additional touring range.

Chery quotes fuel consumption as low as 1.0L/100km on the WLTC cycle, although actual consumption will depend on how often the battery is charged and how the vehicle is driven.

Both Stockman variants are rated to tow up to 3495kg braked, with 750kg unbraked towing capacity and a maximum 350kg towball download. The Urban has a kerb weight of 2690kg and a 3500kg GVM, giving it a calculated payload of 810kg. The Ultimate’s payload varies between 765kg and 800kg depending on wheel and tyre fitment.

Off-road equipment includes low-range gearing, selectable centre and rear differential locks, and drive modes for Snow, Mud, Sand and Rock. The Ultimate adds a front differential lock, giving it three locking differentials. Both variants use double-wishbone front suspension and a leaf-spring rear setup, with 235mm of ground clearance on the Urban. Approach and departure angles are listed at 30 and 25 degrees respectively.

The Urban rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with highway-terrain tyres. The Ultimate gets additional equipment including a 360-degree camera, head-up display, heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, digital rear-view mirror and a 14-speaker sound system. It also offers an optional all-terrain tyre package with 17-inch wheels.

Other differences include roof rails, front fog lamps, heated and power-folding mirrors, rear privacy glass and an electronic tailgate release on the Ultimate. Both variants have a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and synthetic leather upholstery.

The Stockman has undergone local ride and handling development with Melbourne-based engineering outfit Premcar, which is working with Chery on suspension and steering calibration for Australian roads and conditions. Chery has also partnered with Australian-owned Ironman 4×4 to develop a range of touring and off-road accessories for the ute, available through Chery dealerships.
