Customer deliveries of the ground-breaking dual-cab are set to begin from February 1, 2027. Not only is it the first diesel PHEV ute available in Australia, but it’s also Chery’s first ute in the local market.
The Stockman’s diesel PHEV powertrain produces total system outputs of 350kW and 800Nm, but a petrol PHEV powertrain – like those found in rivals such as the BYD Shark 6 – will become available in the second half of 2027, producing 395kW and 1000Nm.
The petrol PHEV will also differ in featuring coil springs at the rear, with the diesel PHEV pitched as more of a load-hauler and offering leaf springs instead.
