This includes a $2000 Bunnings gift card and three years or 45,000km of complimentary scheduled servicing. Chery had previously announced an Australian launch for the Stockman during the fourth quarter of 2026, but it's now saying customer deliveries are due from February 1, 2027.
“Opening reservations for the Stockman marks an important milestone for Chery in Australia,” said Chery Australia chief operating officer Lucas Harris in a press release. “We’ve had a phenomenal response to the Stockman since the first announcement, and the reservation program gives customers the opportunity to secure their place ahead of the official sales launch, while also receiving a valuable pre-launch offer.
“The Stockman represents another significant step in the expansion of the Chery brand in Australia, and we look forward to sharing more details with customers as we move closer to its official launch. ” Back in July, Chery said it had received more than 5000 expressions of interest and taken more than 1000 deposits.

The petrol PHEV will use a turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, and offer 395kW and 1000Nm. It'll differ in suspension setup, using coil springs at the rear.
