Key highlights
- Chery Stockman reservations opened online in Australia on 1 October 2026 ahead of the ute’s official sales launch.
- Eligible early customers will receive a $2,000 Bunnings gift card and three years or 45,000km of scheduled servicing.
- Stockman deliveries are scheduled to start from 1 February 2027, while Australian pricing and full specifications remain unconfirmed.
Chery has opened reservations for its upcoming Stockman ute in Australia, giving prospective buyers the chance to secure their place ahead of its official sales launch. The reservation program went live yesterday, 1 October 2026, and is available online. Customers who place a Stockman reservation before official sales commence will be eligible for a pre-launch offer that includes a $2,000 Bunnings gift card and three years or 45,000km of complimentary scheduled servicing.
The offer is subject to terms and conditions, including reservation and vehicle availability conditions. The Stockman will be an important addition to Chery’s Australian range as the brand moves into the competitive dual-cab ute segment. The company has already established a presence locally with passenger cars and SUVs, but the Stockman will give Chery a foothold in one of Australia’s most important new-vehicle categories.

Stockman deliveries start in February 2027
Chery has confirmed that customer deliveries of the Stockman are scheduled to commence from 1 February 2027. There is still plenty that hasn’t been revealed, however. Australian pricing, detailed specifications and the exact timing of the official sales launch are yet to be announced.
That means buyers reserving a Stockman now do not yet have the complete picture on the vehicle’s local specification or pricing. Chery says more information will be released closer to the ute’s arrival in Australian showrooms.
The company has confirmed the Stockman will use a diesel hybrid powertrain, but the reservation announcement does not provide detailed technical information about the system. For Australian ute buyers, the missing details will be important. Engine and hybrid system outputs, towing capacity, payload, fuel consumption and available equipment can all have a major impact on whether a dual-cab is suitable for work, towing, touring or everyday driving.
A $2,000 Bunnings gift card for early reservations
The most unusual part of the Stockman launch offer is the $2,000 Bunnings gift card. Chery has partnered with Bunnings for the launch of its new ute, tying the vehicle into a retailer that has a strong presence among Australian tradespeople, DIYers and homeowners. The gift card is available to customers who secure an eligible Stockman reservation from 1 October 2026 until official sales commence. It comes alongside the three-year or 45,000km complimentary scheduled servicing offer.
The Bunnings incentive could be particularly relevant to buyers considering a ute for work or home projects, although the gift card remains subject to the applicable offer terms. The servicing offer also covers scheduled servicing only, so buyers will need to check Chery’s full terms and conditions to understand what is included.
Australian Stockman pricing is still to come
For now, the reservation program provides a confirmed path towards the Stockman’s Australian launch, but not its price. As of 2 October 2026, Chery has not announced Australian pricing or the ute’s full local specification. That means it is too early to make a direct price or equipment comparison with established dual-cab rivals.
What is confirmed is that reservations opened on 1 October, the pre-launch offer applies to eligible reservations made before official sales commence, and deliveries are scheduled to begin from 1 February 2027. Chery is expected to reveal more details about the Stockman, including Australian pricing, specifications and the official sales launch date, closer to its arrival in showrooms.
