Chery Australia has locked in the starting price and specifications for its all-new Stockman dual-cab ute, introducing an entry-level Urban variant from $52,990 alongside the flagship Ultimate from $57,990 (plus on-roads).
Unlike rival plug-in hybrid dual-cabs that pair electric motors with petrol engines, the Stockman arrives with a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel ‘Super Hybrid’ (PHEV) powertrain. Both grades deliver a combined output of 350kW and 800Nm, sent through a mechanical four-wheel drive system, offering up to 100km of electric driving range (NEDC), an 810kg payload, and a 3500kg (3495kg on Urban spec) braked towing capacity.
Measuring 5450mm long, 2010mm wide, and 1890mm tall on a 3250mm wheelbase, the Stockman rides on double-wishbone front and leaf-spring rear suspension setup, and offers 235mm of ground clearance. Crucially, the $52,990 Urban retains the full 350kW/800Nm powertrain alongside individually selectable centre and rear differential locks, 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in highway-terrain tyres, and a six-speaker sound system.
That sharp pricing throws a hand grenade directly into the booming electrified ute segment. It undercuts the entry-level BYD Shark 6 ($57,900, plus on-roads) by $5000, while the top-spec Stockman Ultimate undercuts the Shark 6 Performance (from $62,900). More importantly, the standard Shark 6 makes do with a 2500kg towing limit, petrol hybrid power, and no mechanical diff locks.
It also lines up squarely against GWM’s 2.0-litre petrol PHEV offerings, splitting the regular Cannon Hi4-T ($50,990 drive-away) and the similarly sized, 300kW/750Nm Cannon Alpha PHEV ($57,490 to $64,490 drive-away), while comfortably outmuscling and undercutting the 207kW/697Nm Ford Ranger PHEV, which opens at $59,000 drive-away for the fleet-spec XL and climbs past $71,990 before on-roads for mid-series XLT and Sport grades.
2027 Chery Stockman Urban: $52,990 (MSRP)
