Chevrolet’s pickup lineup consists of the Colorado and Silverado models. Additionally, they have introduced the Montana, a smaller option specifically designed for South America. The third-generation Montana was unveiled just over a year ago, featuring a modern appearance, a spacious truck bed, and a well-designed cabin equipped with all the usual modern amenities.
The Montana is built on a unibody platform that is shared with the Tracker and Onix models, although it offers more space between the axles compared to its siblings. Its wheelbase measures 110.2 inches (2,800 mm), slightly shorter than the Blazer. The overall length is 185.7 inches (4,717 mm), width is 70.8 inches (1,798 mm), and height is 65.3 inches (1,659 mm).
Powering the Montana is a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine. Chevrolet opted for this engine to provide a balance between acceleration and fuel efficiency. It delivers 133 hp (135 ps/99 kW) and 155 pound-feet (210 Nm) of torque. Buyers can choose between a manual or automatic transmission, but the Montana is only available with front-wheel drive.
Unlike some pickups that are transformed into SUVs, Chevrolet does not have plans to create a similar version of the Montana. It will remain a unibody pickup truck, capable of carrying large items as long as they can fit within its 31 cu-ft (874-liter) bed. However, this hasn’t stopped digital artists from creating renderings of a potential 2025 Chevrolet Montana SUV.
The unofficial virtual model showcases a fresh design inspired by other high-riding vehicles in GM’s current lineup. It features a more aggressive grille, a sleeker nose, and updated fenders. The overall profile remains largely unchanged, but the rear quarter panels have been expanded to accommodate an enclosed cargo area. The artist also made adjustments to the rear pillars, taillights, and rear bumper to give it a more refined appearance.
These digital illustrations were created by Kleber Silva and shared on Behance. If Chevrolet were to produce a Montana SUV based on this design, it would likely be a popular choice among buyers, even without all-wheel drive. The question remains whether Chevy should pursue this idea and introduce it to the market, considering their existing lineup of crossovers.
