Chery Stockman detailed: 34kWh battery, 96km EV range and 765kg payload

Chery Australia has released a detailed specification sheet for its Stockman diesel plug-in hybrid ute, confirming a 34kWh battery, a WLTP electric range of up to 96km, and a payload of 765kg.

The sheet covers the Stockman Ultimate, and Chery Australia says customer deliveries there start on 1 February 2027. The Stockman is due in New Zealand in 2027, and Chery New Zealand has yet to confirm local pricing.

The powertrain pairs a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel making 140kW and 450Nm with a four-speed dedicated hybrid transmission, for combined outputs of 350kW and 800Nm. All-wheel drive is standard, with 4H, 4L and an intelligent 4WD mode, and front, centre and rear differential locks.

The 34kWh lithium iron phosphate battery sits under the tub. Chery claims 96km of electric range on all-terrain tyres, energy use of 311Wh/km and combined fuel use of 1.1L/100km on the WLTC cycle. Earlier figures quoted 100km of electric range and 2.0L/100km on the older NEDC cycle. The battery charges at up to 6.6kW on AC and 70kW on DC, and the diesel tank holds 80 litres.

The Stockman weighs 2,735kg at the kerb. With a gross vehicle mass of 3,500kg, that leaves 765kg for payload. Braked towing is rated at 3,495kg, with 750kg unbraked, a 350kg maximum towball download and a gross combination mass of 6,500kg.

The ute is 5,450mm long and 2,010mm wide on a 3,250mm wheelbase. The tub measures 1,560mm long and 1,560mm wide, with 1,220mm between the wheel arches. Ground clearance is 247mm, with approach and departure angles of 30 and 25 degrees.

Suspension is double wishbone at the front with leaf springs at the rear. The Stockman rides on 17-inch alloys with 285/70 all-terrain tyres and carries a full-size alloy spare. Off-road modes include Snow, Mud, Sand and Rock, along with turn assist, crawl control and an Expert mode.

Inside there is a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 15.6-inch touchscreen, a head-up display and a 14-speaker audio system. The front seats are heated and ventilated, the rear seats slide and recline, and there are two 230V power outlets. Seven airbags are fitted, including a front centre airbag, and the driver assistance suite includes adaptive cruise control, lane centring, blind spot detection, front and rear cross-traffic assist, and a 360-degree camera.

Chery says all specifications are indicative and subject to change.
