Stockman moves from nameplate to launch build-up
Chery Australia’s Stockman ute is edging towards market launch after a year of naming activity, local development work and public preview plans. Chery confirmed in June that Stockman was the winning name from its ute competition, then said in August that Premcar had been appointed to carry out in-market testing and validation of the all-new ute before Australian release. In September, Chery said the Stockman would receive its first public showing at Everything Electric in Sydney, alongside the updated MY27 E5, and its model page describes the ute as “coming soon” while positioning it as Australia’s first diesel PHEV ute. 1432
Powertrain and capability claims
GoAuto reported that Chery’s Everything Electric material confirmed a diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain for the Stockman, combining a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with plug-in hybrid assistance and four-wheel drive. GoAuto said the system produces 350kW and 800Nm and is scheduled for a local launch in the fourth quarter of 2026, with a petrol-powered version to follow next year. Chery’s own Stockman page lists the same headline outputs, says the ute can travel up to 100km on electric power alone under the NEDC cycle, and lists 3,500kg braked towing, 750kg unbraked towing, AT tyres, a double-wishbone front suspension, leaf-spring rear suspension and at least 247mm of ground clearance. 526
Dimensions, interior and local tuning
Chery’s published dimensions place the Stockman at 5,450mm long, 2,010mm wide and 1,890mm high on a 3,250mm wheelbase, with a 1,560mm by 1,560mm by 500mm cargo tub. The company also says the ute has been developed with Australian roads and loading in mind, with local ADAS tuning and suspension calibration. The dealer listing adds cabin details including suede trim, leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control and premium sound, although Chery labels the specification information as indicative only. 26
What is still not finalised
Chery has not yet published final Australian pricing, payload figures, model grades or complete local specifications for the Stockman. GoAuto said those details will be announced closer to launch, while Chery’s Stockman page states that its electric range, fuel consumption, towing capacity and system output are based on preliminary data and are subject to change pending final vehicle specification, testing, certification and regulatory approval. The brand’s own wording therefore leaves the ute’s headline figures as provisional rather than locked in. 52
