a team talking about the car This week, she posted on her social media what can be described as her best tuning yet The new generation of Chevrolet Montana.

Although it is still largely camouflaged, the level of disguise in the prototype it scored is talking about the car It is lower than what has been observed so far in other photos that have appeared online over the past few weeks. With this, it is possible to clearly distinguish in more detail what we can expect for the full evolution of the pickup truck.

Up front, for example, it seems certain that Chevrolet opted for a separate headlight assembly, which would give the model a more sporty look and in keeping with what’s seen in recent products from the brand in the US.

Who knows, even the new Montana model may not affect the facelift of the Chevrolet Trakr in the future. It is worth noting that compact SUVs, as well as Onix and Onix Plus, share the GEM platform with the new Montana. The truck, as the brand has already confirmed, will be the largest product developed according to the global engineering of the manufacturer.

Moving to the side, at least what the pictures show us, it is safe to say that the size of the new Montana should move between Renault Oroch and Fiat Toro, perhaps approaching the current sales leader in this category.

The pickup’s overall design suggests that Chevrolet may have shared the same visual recipe that Ford used for the Maverick, namely that the new Montana shouldn’t offer a very tall body, and may seek to present a more powerful image through other aesthetic features. , such as larger fenders or larger diameter wheels.

While the mechanical group is still unknown, the location secret cars Released this month was the finding that the new generation Montana should bring under the hood the same 1.2 turbocharged engine currently offered by the top-of-the-line tracker.

Something unusual for a pickup is that the engine can be linked to a manual gearbox, in addition to the six-speed automatic option, as is currently the case with SUVs. In the sports car, the 1.2 turbocharged engine produces up to 133 hp and 21.4 kg/m when fueled with ethanol.

The engine is likely to efficiently meet the performance needs of a pickup truck, and the presence of a manual transmission in the model range shows that Chevrolet is also looking at corporate customers who need a pickup for work, which is the same logic as Renault. with Oroch Pro.

Something we shouldn’t have in the new Montana is the all-wheel drive option, which is not supported by the GEM platform.

In any case, it is becoming increasingly clear, especially to those who are considering buying an intermediate pickup, that it is worth waiting until the beginning of next year to see the full potential of the new Montana in this segment.

Chevrolet has already had a good time analyzing the requirements of the audience in this class, as well as Montana’s direct competitors, and meeting the conditions to present a highly competitive model. Check it out when it finally reaches the dealerships.
