Toyota Hilux And Ford Ranger Will Have Their Podium Threatened By New Chery Pickup. Check Out The Details Of The New Model Expected To Arrive With 260 HP Of Power.
The medium pickup market is more competitive than ever. Traditionally dominated by American and Japanese models, now even Chinese manufacturers are seeking a share of this niche. Chery is the latest to enter the competition, announcing the development of a new pickup that aims to compete directly with the Toyota Hilux and the Ford Ranger.
New Chery Pickup Promises To Arrive Accompanied By New Brand SUVs
The brand’s announcement took place during a presentation in China this week. It is worth mentioning that the pickup will not come alone. The news is part of a Chery offensive, which plans to launch a new SUV with 7 seats, in addition to crossovers and minivans. Regarding the design, the new medium pickup will have the brand’s visual language but with exclusive details and a more rugged look, something standard in the market.
The pickup will be built with a focus on robustness, using a body-on-frame construction, for example, something already employed by names like Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger. Additionally, models with a double cab will take priority, but simpler models with an extended cab are on the horizon and may emerge.

However, the future Chery pickup will feature combustion, hybrid, and electric drivetrains. In the case of the hybrid option, it will be PHEV, that is, plug-in hybrid, with the possibility of utilizing the powertrain from the Jetour Traveller SUV. This means a 1.5 Turbo gasoline engine alongside an electric motor. Thus, the combustion versions of the rival to the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger may have a 2.0 gasoline engine with 260 HP of power.
New Chery Pickup Is One Of The Most Anticipated Models For 2025
Finally, the all-electric version of the new model will be the most technologically advanced and may incorporate an 800-volt electrical architecture from the Exeed Sterra Sedan. This would also include two electric motors and up to 473 horsepower.
In any case, the Chery pickup is expected for 2025 and may rival options like JAC and BYD, for example. Stepping away a bit from the new Chery pickup, the brand presented the Arrizo 6 Pro Hybrid 2024, a car that comes with an interesting price and distinct characteristics that make it a very attractive option for consumers.
The car’s design is appealing and striking, featuring a 3D front grille in black and glossy color, and chrome details that are capable of impacting anyone at first glance.
The vehicle’s optics bring full LED lighting with a black mask, projector, and position light. The hybrid sedan engine from Caoa Chery generates 160 horsepower and 25.5 kg of torque, with a CVT transmission with 9 speeds, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.1 seconds.
Chinese Manufacturers Are Gaining Prominence In The Brazilian Automotive Market
In addition to the new Chery pickup that will arrive to compete with Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger, JAC Motors is launching the T9 in Brazil, its new medium pickup that arrives to compete with the leaders of the segment, such as the Fiat Toro.
With a competitive starting price, modern design, embedded technology, and good performance, the Chinese model has the potential to win over consumers looking for a robust, reliable, and accessible truck.
The model delivers plenty of luxury and sophistication in a segment that has only recently caught the attention of automakers. The main selling point will be its cost-benefit ratio, in addition to diesel engine options.
The setup chosen by the Chinese automaker is the 2.0 4-cylinder turbodiesel block, generating up to 167 horsepower and 41 kgfm of torque, which may be paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic transmission.
