Chery Stockman Ute Lands in Australia: How to Accessorise the New Diesel Plug-In Hybrid
CarMoods TeamChery has confirmed the Stockman — its first ute for our market — and it arrives with a genuinely Australian twist. It will be the country's first diesel plug-in hybrid ute, and Australia is the first international market in the world to get it.
Under the tray sits a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel plug-in hybrid paired with a 34kWh battery, quoting total system outputs of 350kW and 800Nm, a 3500kg braked towing capacity and around 100km of electric-only range on the older NEDC cycle. A dual-cab body launches first, with the ute going on sale in the final quarter of 2026 to rival the BYD Shark 6 and Ford Ranger.
Pricing lands closer to launch, but the Shark 6 starts from $55,900 before on-road costs, so a similar bracket looks likely. Whichever way it's priced, a new dual-cab is a blank canvas — and the smartest owners start personalising before the keys even land. Our Chery accessories collection is already stocked with brand-fit pieces for the cabin.

What the Stockman brings to the Aussie ute scene
A diesel PHEV ute is a clever fit for how Australians actually drive. You get quiet, electric running for the daily commute and school run, then the diesel range and towing muscle for the tow-out to the coast or the worksite.
That dual life — workhorse by day, family hauler by weekend — is exactly why the cabin deserves a thoughtful setup. A ute that spends hours on the highway and hours in traffic benefits from the same comfort and protection upgrades whether it's a tradie's tool or a family's everything-car.
Start with the touchpoints you feel every drive
The steering wheel and headrest are the two places your body meets the car most, so they're the first worth upgrading. A brand-fit steering wheel cover adds grip and a premium feel, and it protects the factory wheel from years of sun, sweat and diesel-stained work gloves.

A ute lives or dies on storage. Loose tools, shopping bags and gear sliding around the tray or boot is the fastest way to a scuffed interior and a rattling drive.
A structured organiser keeps everything in its place, whether that's recovery gear, groceries or the kids' sports kit. It's the difference between a tidy cabin and a rolling junk drawer.

Sort your organiser into zones — recovery gear one side, everyday bits the other — so you can grab what you need without unpacking the lot on the side of the road.
The small details that make it yours
New ute, new key — and a fresh key fob picks up scratches fast when it's tossed on worksite benches and cafe tables. A slim silicone case shields the buttons and the finish without adding bulk to your pocket.
