If the figures are to be believed, Chery’s new Stockman 4×4 diesel ute will be a force to be reckoned with.
How does 800Nm of torque, low range four wheel drive, 247mm of ground clearance and not one but three diff locks sound?
You get all this and claimed fuel consumption of 2.0L/100km.
That’s going to make a few people sit up and take notice.
No word on the price yet.
Expected by the end of the year, Stockman has been developed to meet the demands of tradies, adventurers, families and regional motorists alike.
It combines a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine with Chery’s advanced Super Hybrid System, delivering the benefits of electrification without compromising the towing, payload and off-road performance Australians expect from a dual-cab ute.
The Stockman’s diesel-electric powertrain produces a combined 350kW of power and 800Nm of torque, making it one of the most powerful electrified utes in its class.
A petrol-powered variant will be added next year.
A four-wheel drive system ensures confident performance on and off the road, while the hybrid system provides up to 100km of electric-only driving range (NEDC) for everyday commuting and urban driving.
Engineered with genuine work capability in mind, the Stockman delivers a 3,500kg braked towing capacity, supported by a robust chassis, double wishbone front suspension and heavy-duty rear leaf spring suspension.
Combined with 247mm of ground clearance and standard all-terrain tyres, the Stockman has been designed to tackle challenging terrain while maintaining the durability expected from a modern ute.
Stockman’s generous proportions further reinforce its practicality, measuring 5,450mm long, 2010mm wide and 1890mm high, with a 3250mm wheelbase and a cargo tub measuring 1560mm x 1560mm x 500mm, providing ample space for work equipment and recreational gear for weekend adventures.
The introduction of the Stockman represents a significant milestone for Chery Australia as the brand enters one of the country’s most competitive and important automotive segments.
Chery’s Lucas Harris said Stockman represents Chery’s vision for the next generation of dual-cab utes, combining exceptional performance with impressive efficiency and genuine capability.
“Offering both petrol and diesel plug-in hybrid options allows us to cater for customer demands be it off-road performance or a more urban focus,” he said
“Ute buyers expect a vehicle that can work hard during the week, tackle weekend adventures and deliver strong value.
“Our Super Hybrid technology is designed to meet those expectations by combining electric driving capability with the power, towing and off-road performance customers demand.”
