ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Stockman ute's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain will likely appeal to buyers who want a balance of power and fuel efficiency, potentially drawing customers away from traditional ute brands.

Competitor Response

Established ute manufacturers will need to respond to Chery's competitive pricing and specifications, potentially leading to a price war or a shift in marketing focus towards the benefits of their own hybrid or electric offerings.

The arrival of the Stockman ute in the fourth quarter of 2026 gives dealers a limited time to prepare for the new competition and adjust their sales strategies to remain competitive.

Showroom Traffic and Stock

Dealers who are prepared to offer test drives and answer questions about the Stockman ute's hybrid powertrain and features will be better positioned to attract and retain customers who are interested in this new technology.

Chery's entry into the ute market could also lead to increased showroom traffic as buyers compare the Stockman ute to other models, providing an opportunity for dealers to showcase their own offerings and build relationships with potential customers.

Action Plan

This week, dealers should review their current ute inventory and pricing strategies to ensure they are competitive with the upcoming Stockman ute, and consider offering incentives or promotions to attract buyers who are interested in hybrid or electric vehicles.
