Chery Stockman diesel plug-in hybrid ute gets 350 kW and 96 km electric range
Chery Australia has published key specifications for the Stockman dual-cab ute and opened online reservations ahead of customer deliveries from 1 February 2027. The official spec sheet describes a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel Super Hybrid plug-in system with 350 kW combined power, 800 Nm combined torque, a 34 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and up to 96 km of WLTP electric driving range.
Reservations opened on 1 October 2026. Early reservations attract a pre-launch package that Chery says includes a $2,000 Bunnings gift card and three years or 45,000 km of complimentary scheduled servicing, with terms applying. Australian pricing and the final grade list remain unpublished.

How to read the ute against rivals
Stockman is positioned as Chery’s first Australian dual-cab and as a diesel plug-in hybrid in a segment where many rivals use petrol plug-in systems. Until Chery publishes a local price, do not compare an overseas figure with an Australian drive-away for a BYD Shark 6 or other electrified ute. For plug-in running-cost context see running a plug-in hybrid without regular charging, the BYD cashback and Shark 6 offer note, and the wider Chery new-car index.
The verified package is therefore 350 kW, 800 Nm, up to 96 km WLTP, reservations open now and deliveries from 1 February 2027, with price still to come from Chery Australia. Also compare ute rivals such as the Ford Ranger, and see our guides to hybrid and plug-in hybrid SUVs under $50,000, EV home charging and on-road costs versus list price.
