Chery Stockman Specifications: Seven New Details Chery Has Confirmed

Until now, much of the conversation around the Chery Stockman has centred on one unusual detail: it combines a turbo-diesel engine with plug-in electric power.

Chery's latest Australian information fills in much more of the picture. We now have published figures for the battery and charging system, vehicle masses, towing, 4WD equipment, tub dimensions, cabin technology and safety systems.

The Stockman is taking shape as a ute intended to cover very different jobs. There is serious towing and off-road equipment, but also an electrified powertrain that could suit shorter weekday driving and a cabin with the sort of equipment normally associated with a well-equipped family or touring vehicle.

The detailed figures below apply to the indicative Model Year 2027 Chery Stockman Ultimate AWD. An overseas model is shown in Chery's specification material, and specifications, features and model availability remain subject to change. 

Chery Stockman at a glance

1. Why does the Stockman combine diesel and electric power?

The Stockman uses a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain paired with a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, or 4DHT.

The diesel engine itself is listed at 140kW and 450Nm. The larger 350kW and 800Nm figures are the combined output of the complete system, rather than the diesel engine alone.

A 34kWh lithium iron phosphate battery sits beneath the cargo tub, and the specification lists both EV and HEV energy modes.

For a ute, diesel and plug-in electric power make an interesting pairing. Shorter trips can make use of the battery when the vehicle is charged, while the diesel engine and 80-litre fuel tank are there for longer-distance driving.

That mix could be especially relevant to someone whose Stockman has two very different lives: commuting around Brisbane during the week, then heading further from home with the family, a trailer or touring gear on the weekend.

The important number here is the combined output. 350kW and 800Nm gives the Stockman considerably more than a token electric contribution on paper and establishes the PHEV system as a central part of the vehicle rather than an economy-focused add-on.

2. It has a 34kWh battery and DC charging

The new specification puts some useful numbers around the plug-in part of the Stockman.

Chery lists a 34kWh LFP battery and up to 96km of published electric range, including with the listed all-terrain tyres.

Charging is rated at up to 6.6kW using Type 2 AC and 70kW using CCS2 DC, with the charging port positioned at the driver's-side rear. 

Having both AC and DC charging gives owners more choice in how they recharge. Home or destination AC charging may suit the regular weekday routine, while compatible DC charging adds another option when travelling.

The up to 96km figure is a laboratory figure, so it shouldn't be read as a guaranteed distance in everyday driving. Towing, vehicle load, speed, terrain, temperature, accessories, tyre pressure and climate-control use can all affect real-world electric range. 

Still, a battery of this size changes the role electrification can play in a ute. For some owners, electric driving could cover a meaningful portion of their shorter weekly trips rather than simply assisting the diesel engine.

3. The 3,495kg towing figure isn't the only number that matters

Chery lists a maximum braked towing mass of 3,495kg, along with a 350kg maximum towball download. Maximum unbraked towing is listed at 750kg.

There are now vehicle-mass figures to go with those numbers:

• Curb mass: 2,735kg
• Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM): 3,500kg
• Gross Combined Mass (GCM): 6,500kg

That extra information matters because maximum towing capacity is only one part of working out whether a particular vehicle and trailer combination is within its limits.

Passengers, luggage, accessories and towball download all affect the loaded vehicle. GVM, GCM, axle limits and the actual trailer mass still have to be considered. 

So 3,495kg is one maximum, not a statement that every Stockman carrying a full load of people and equipment can also tow a 3,495kg trailer.

It is an important distinction for anyone looking at the Stockman for a caravan, boat or work trailer. The headline figure gets attention; the mass figures are what owners will need to use when working through a real setup.

4. The off-road equipment list is extensive

The off-road specification is one of the more interesting parts of the new information.

The indicative Ultimate AWD lists 4H, 4L and Intelligent 4WD, together with front, centre and rear differential locks.

There are also Snow, Mud, Sand and Rock modes, plus Turn Assist, Crawl Control and Expert mode. 

Chery lists approximately 247mm of ground clearance, a 30-degree approach angle and 25-degree departure angle. The Ultimate AWD is also shown with 285/70 R17 all-terrain tyres and a full-size alloy spare.

That combination will be more relevant to Australian ute buyers than a long list of drive modes on its own. The tyre size, clearance, low-range setting and listed differential locks give regional and recreational drivers some useful specifications to assess.

There is also a Clear Chassis View function and dedicated off-road display, giving the driver more visibility around the vehicle when negotiating rougher terrain.

For customers interested in weekend tracks, property access or regional touring, this is one of the sections of the new specification worth paying close attention to.

5. It still has to work as a ute

At 5,450mm long and 2,010mm wide, with a 3,250mm wheelbase, the Stockman is a sizeable vehicle.

The cargo tub measures 1,560mm long by 1,560mm wide, with 1,220mm between the wheel arches. Chery also lists rear tub steps, side steps, roof rails and leaf-spring rear suspension. 

Those dimensions give tradespeople and touring customers something more useful than a lifestyle image when considering how the vehicle could fit their gear.

Rear tub steps should also make accessing equipment towards the front of the load area easier, particularly on a vehicle riding on large all-terrain tyres.

The Ultimate AWD specification lists two 230V power outlets, along with four USB-A and three USB-C ports. 

An electronic tailgate release with damped opening is included as well.

Put together, these details make the work side of the Stockman story much clearer. The plug-in hybrid powertrain may be the unusual part, but Chery is still giving ute buyers the dimensions, suspension layout and load-area equipment they will look for first.

6. The cabin has been given plenty of attention

The Stockman Ultimate AWD doesn't read like a stripped-back work ute once you get to the cabin specification.

The driver gets a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 15.6-inch central touchscreen and a head-up display.

There is also built-in navigation, digital radio, wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 14-speaker audio system.

The front seats are heated and ventilated. The steering wheel is heated too, and the driver's seat includes a memory function.

The second row is worth noting because it slides and reclines. For buyers expecting the Stockman to double as a family vehicle, adjustable rear seating is more meaningful than another decorative cabin feature. Dual-zone climate control and rear air vents add to the everyday usability.

Chery also lists acoustic glass and a digital inside rear-view mirror.

For someone using the same vehicle for the school run, motorway commuting and long-distance touring, the cabin specification matters just as much as what is fitted underneath it.

7. Cameras and driver-assistance technology cover town and off-road use

The indicative Ultimate AWD safety list includes Autonomous Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering Assist.

Blind Spot Detection is joined by front and rear cross-traffic assistance and Door Opening Warning. Driver and occupant monitoring systems are also listed.

For a vehicle measuring 5.45 metres long, the visibility equipment may prove particularly useful in everyday driving.

There are front and rear parking sensors and a 360-degree Around View Monitor for tighter spaces. Clear Chassis View adds another camera-based perspective for off-road driving.

The airbag package includes a front-centre airbag as part of the listed Ultimate AWD equipment.

As with any driver-assistance technology, these systems support rather than replace an attentive driver.

Chery has also now put a firm date against the Australian rollout: customer deliveries are scheduled to commence on 1 February 2027.
