Chery has opened orders for the Stockman in Australia and released further specifications for the diesel plug-in hybrid pickup. It uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel and a 34 kWh LFP battery; Chery quotes combined output of 476 PS and 800 Nm, and an electric-only range of up to 96 km under the WLTP cycle. The source does not specify the electric motor layout or transmission. Its headline puts Australian deliveries in February 2027, though a sentence in the article gives a conflicting February 2021 date.
The Stockman is rated to tow up to 3,495 kg with braked trailers and 750 kg without brakes, and has more than 247 mm of ground clearance. Chery lists double-wishbone front suspension, leaf springs at the rear and front, centre and rear differential locks. Cabin equipment includes a 10.25-inch instrument display, a 15.6-inch infotainment screen and a 14-speaker audio system, alongside driver-assistance features.
The article compares the Stockman’s claimed power and electric range with the Ford Ranger PHEV and JAC T9 PHEV: its output is above the Ford’s but below the JAC’s, while its EV range sits between them. The pickup is expected to debut in China as the Rely Hi800. Chery is also preparing related pickups under Jaecoo and Tiggo, as well as a new Himla sub-brand, which the article says is due to launch in Malaysia next year.
