Strong pre-orders for Chery’s much-anticipated diesel PHEV ute indicate Australians are especially eager for the newly named Stockman. The Diesel Super Hybrid powertrain is designed to deliver power and efficiency for tradies, off-roaders, and families thanks to its four-wheel drive system.
“The Stockman represents Chery’s vision for the next generation of dual-cab utes, combining exceptional performance with impressive efficiency and genuine capability. Offering both petrol and diesel plug-in hybrid options allows us to cater to customer demands, be it off-road performance or a more urban focus,” said Lucas Harris, Chief Operating Officer of Chery Australia.
“Ute buyers expect a vehicle that can work hard during the week, tackle weekend adventures, and deliver strong value. Our Super Hybrid technology is designed to meet those expectations by combining electric driving capability with the power, towing, and off-road performance customers demand.”
The Stockman’s diesel-electric powertrain produces a combined 350kW of power and 800Nm of torque, making it one of the most powerful electrified utes in its class. Chery says the hybrid system will deliver up to 100 kilometres of electric-only driving range (NEDC) for everyday commuting and urban driving. As always, budget for less especially when using the NEDC rating.
The Stockman is a work ute with a 3,500kg braked towing capacity, supported by a robust chassis, double wishbone front suspension and heavy-duty rear leaf spring suspension. It’s a big rig at 5,450mm long, 2,010mm wide and 1,890mm high, with a 3,250mm wheelbase and a cargo tub measuring 1,560mm x 1,560mm x 500mm.
