Chery Australia has provided an early look at the capability of its upcoming Stockman ute, previewing its diesel super hybrid powertrain. That setup will generate 350kW and 800Nm, with braked towing capacity set at 3,500kg.
Developed to meet the demands of tradies, adventurers, families and regional motorists alike, the Stockman combines a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine with Chery’s advanced Super Hybrid System, delivering the benefits of electrification.
The brand says there’s no compromise on towing, payload and off-road performance either, with the powertrain offering up to 100km of EV-only driving. A four-wheel drive system ensures confident performance on and off the road too.
Engineered with genuine work capability in mind, according to Chery, the Stockman’s braked towing capacity is supported by a robust chassis, double wishbone front suspension and heavy-duty rear leaf spring suspension.
Combined with 247mm of ground clearance and standard all-terrain tyres, it has been designed to tackle challenging terrain while maintaining the durability expected from a modern ute.
The Stockman’s generous proportions further reinforce its practicality, measuring 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.
“The Stockman represents Chery’s vision for the next generation of dual-cab utes, combining exceptional performance with impressive efficiency and genuine capability,” Chery Australia COO Lucas Harris said.
“Offering both Petrol and Diesel Plug-in Hybrid options allows us to cater for customer demands be it off-road performance or a more urban focus,” he added.
The Stockman will launch in Q4 2026 with a petrol-powered variant joining the lineup next year. Further details, including pricing, model grades and full Australian specifications, will be announced closer to its local launch.
