The 2024 Chevy Montana is General Motors’ vision of a compact pickup truck. It was originally produced from 2003 to 2021. But it was discontinued because of low interest and sales. Previously known as Nova Montana in 2023, he gets a new, shorter name. From now on, Nova Montana becomes just Montana. Also, from 2023 on, the interior and exterior get a new, more modern redesign to attract new customers. There is a possibility that the 2024 version will also be made available in the USA, as it is mostly made for South American customers.
Because the US market starts to demand small daily pickup trucks. The Chevrolet Montana is a unique vehicle that combines the ride height and style of an SUV with the practicality of a truck with a usable storage bed. With a starting price of around $23,000, it will be the main challenger for the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. Montana is a four-door small pickup with front-wheel drive.
