Chery has officially revealed the KP31 concept ute for Australia — and the headline is a 2.5L turbo-diesel PHEV with a claimed 47% thermal efficiency.
That’s not just another me-too dual-cab. If Chery executes this properly, it could be a genuinely disruptive ute: diesel torque + towing credibility + hybrid assist for better urban efficiency.
In this video I break down:
why this is probably a diesel-led hybrid (not a Shark 6-style setup)
the most likely powertrain layout
what the 47% thermal efficiency claim actually means
and whether KP31 is a real threat to Ranger and HiLux
If you’re thinking about your next dual-cab, this is one to watch.
