2027 Chery Stockman diesel plug-in hybrid ute pricing Australia, Digi Mart USA News (Australia): Chery Australia has revealed pricing for its new Stockman diesel plug-in hybrid ute for the first time, confirming a $52,990 starting price before on-roads and a two-variant line-up when deliveries begin in February 2027.
The new Stockman will be available in entry-level Urban and upper-spec Ultimate variants, with the flagship priced from $57,990 before on-road costs. Both feature a 350kW/800Nm 2.5-litre diesel-electric powertrain and up to 100km of electric-only driving range.
That $52,990 price undercuts the BYD Shark 6, GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV and Ford Ranger Hybrid. The Chery also offers more grunt than non-hybrid diesel-powered rivals such as the Ranger and Toyota HiLux, while its diesel-electric setup sets it apart from petrol plug-in hybrid utes like the Shark 6 and GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV.
The 2.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine produces 140kW and 450Nm on its own, and is paired with electric assistance and a four-speed dedicated hybrid transmission. A 34kWh LFP battery provides up to 100km of electric-only driving range on the NEDC test cycle.
The Stockman also supports DC fast charging at up to 70kW, alongside 6.6kW AC charging, while claimed combined fuel consumption is just 1.1L/100km. However, as with other plug-in hybrids, real-world fuel consumption will depend heavily on how frequently the battery is charged.
The Stockman also promises genuine capability, offering a 3495kg braked towing capacity, 810kg payload and 235mm of ground clearance. For off-road use, it features selectable centre and rear differential locks, double-wishbone front suspension and a leaf-sprung rear axle, along with 18-inch wheels wrapped in highway-terrain tyres.
Inside, the Ultimate features a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, 14-speaker sound system, head-up display and heated and ventilated front seats. The new Urban has been confirmed with a six-speaker sound system, though Chery has yet to detail its complete equipment list.
Measuring 5450mm long, 2010mm wide and 1890mm tall, with a 3250mm wheelbase, the Stockman is similar in size to its plug-in hybrid ute rivals. Its cargo tub measures 1560mm long, 1560mm wide and 500mm deep.
Customer deliveries are scheduled to commence on February 1, 2027, with a petrol plug-in hybrid version also expected to join the range later next year. Chery has opened reservations for the diesel plug-in hybrid Stockman, with early customers receiving a Bunnings gift card and free servicing.
