Key decision	An equipment-rich 2.4L diesel ute family, with a distinct standard Cannon Hi4-T PHEV announced for New Zealand as Coming Soon.	A broad mainstream range spanning work-focused diesels, the petrol Raptor and the plug-in Ranger Hybrid.	A plug-in hybrid ute with vehicle-to-load capability; it is not a fully electric ute.

Built for exact decisions. Family figures are labelled as ranges. Once you select a configuration, an absent value stays “not published for this exact configuration” and is never replaced with an incompatible family maximum.
