Now, Montana will make its return in the United States as the new-gen model. Chevy plans to offer both two-door and four-door variants.
So far, a couple of renderings are available, but that’s it. The manufacturer is refusing to provide further details. On the other hand, it is easy to predict Montana’s powertrain options and some different categories. Moreover, Chevy will offer Montana in South and Central America next year.
