Chery Australia has priced the Stockman diesel plug-in hybrid ute from $52,990 before on-road costs, with the flagship Ultimate variant starting from $57,990. Customer deliveries are scheduled to begin on 1 February 2027.
Why it matters
The pricing places the Stockman in the Australian ute market with a plug-in hybrid option, giving buyers in Australia a new drivetrain choice in the segment. A petrol plug-in hybrid version is expected to join the range later next year.
The Stockman's 350kW/800Nm diesel-electric powertrain carries a 3495kg braked towing capacity, 810kg payload and 235mm ground clearance. Its 34kWh LFP battery supports DC fast charging at up to 70kW, though real-world performance under load has not been detailed.
The players
Chery Australia
Chery Australia is the local arm of the Chinese automaker Chery, which sells vehicles in Australia under its own brand.
The details
The Stockman is offered in Urban and Ultimate variants, and uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine producing 140kW and 450Nm, paired with electric assistance and a four-speed dedicated hybrid transmission. The Ultimate adds a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 14-speaker sound system.
Timeline
1 February 2027: Customer deliveries of the Stockman are scheduled to begin.
Later in 2027: A petrol plug-in hybrid version is expected to join the range.
Roadmap
The Stockman brings a diesel plug-in hybrid drivetrain into the utility vehicle segment, extending electrification beyond passenger cars into work-focused trucks. Its electric-only range and towing figures position it as a hybrid alternative to conventional diesel utes in the Australian market.
Buyers considering a work ute now have a plug-in hybrid diesel option starting from $52,990 before on-road costs, which could reduce fuel spending for mostly short, local trips. The 810kg payload and 3495kg braked towing capacity will need checking against the requirements of any specific load or trailer.
The takeaway
Before choosing a ute, compare the claimed electric range and fuel consumption against your typical daily driving and check the on-road cost once pricing is confirmed. Buyers planning on a petrol plug-in hybrid should wait for its release later in 2027.
What happens next
Customer deliveries of the Stockman are scheduled to begin on 1 February 2027, and a petrol plug-in hybrid version is expected later in 2027.
