More than a year after showing the first official teaser image of Chevrolet’s smallest pickup in June 2021, General Motors has just released a new teaser for the next-generation Chevy Montana.
The automaker launched a new episode of the web series dedicated to the next-generation Chevy Montana’s latest development phase in Brazil, presenting a new teaser image that reveals more details about the definitive exterior design of the Bow Tie brand’s first unibody compact pickup. As such, GM’s Brazilian subsidiary kicks off the countdown to the world debut of the next third-generation Chevy Montana.
Unlike the first official preview in which you could only see the silhouette and some upper-body elements of the next-generation Chevy Montana, the new teaser that GM Brazil has just released shows many more details of the front design and the side profile of the new pickup that will adopt Chevrolet’s latest global visual identity.
In particular, the new Chevy Montana will boast a front end design similar to the Chevy Blazer’s by including a split setup with slim-line DRLs as a lighting signature above lower headlamp clusters, a trapezoidal grille and darkened A-pillars. These elements match Chevrolet’s latest design language and give the Montana a modern look.
The side profile of the next-generation Chevy Montana presents organic shapes that highlight the ascending beltline that crosses the C-pillar and marks the upper part of the cargo box in an elevated position, as well as rounded wheel arches that accentuate the proportions of the vehicle. The upcoming compact pickup also includes two-tone rearview mirrors and roof rails.
The new Chevy Montana will be officially launched early next year in Brazil, where it will be manufactured alongside the Chevy Tracker at the GM São Caetano do Sul plant to primarily supply the Brazilian market and other South American countries. The new model will arrive to compete in the fastest growing segment of the Brazilian market, and with high potential for other international markets.

It’s not a “world debut” if it excludes USA and Canada.
Boy its funny when the shoe is on the other foot its “not” a World Debut…
And why should the United States and Canada be considered a “world debut”?
As far as I know, a “world debut” must be related to the fact that the model has not been presented anywhere else in the world.
Typical gm ford Chrysler stupid PR talk.NO WONDER WHY people don’t want North American vehicles.
This is a South American vehicle.
I really have to see how this thing looks before passing judgement. It’s profile even in camo have not impressed me with optimism, unlike the new midsize trucks that when they were heavily cladded in camo still showed good lines.
I’m tired of hearing about products GM has but will not sell here in the USA , those products don’t interest me if I can’t buy them .
This remind me of back when GM built crew cab S-10 pickups in South American, but would not import them to the USA. The result was that lots of small crew cabs were sold here by the foreign manufacturers.
The Blue teaser image looks promising . I think we can have a good idea of what this will look like , Take a current Chevy Trailblazer , stretch the wheelbase and add a bed . The cab and front end will be very similar in size if not almost identical to a Chevy TB. If the proportions are right , this could be a neat small runabout !!
Is it going to be like the Chevy “Orlando” from about 10 years ago ? The Orlando was a great design, I wanted one … there was one problem, they were only for sale in Canada. This truck appeals to me, my needs for a pickup are modest … Chevrolet listen to your real public, and read an digest the words written by me an others an sell this in the US.
This would put Santa Cruz to shame
Not sure if it would fly, but id like to see them bring the El Camino name back. My dad owned a 1977 S.S when I was a boy. Lots of great memories.
The amazing sales of the Ford Maverick is PROOF that the American public wants a smaller pickup. Why would GM build the “right size” truck and then not make it available in America?
If Chevrolet is interested in entering the segment in the United States, it will likely do so with a specific model.
Montana was developed with a focus on the Latin American audience and the local reality and needs, which are different and inferior in certain aspects when compared to those of North American consumers. So much so that Chevrolet does not consider Maverick as a direct competitor, but only Fiat Toro and Renault Oroch, which were also developed specifically for the region.
Considering that the Toro is basically a Jeep Compass with a truck bed, it would be incredibly easy to sell here also.
And yet, we don’t get such things, because businesses generally only want to market expensive products to us.
Even the Maverick is barely being built, to the extent that people have orders over a year old for them, and you still rarely see them on the road. Ford doesn’t seem to have any problem building F150s.
But GM doesn’t care. They’re too busy making their ev bidenmobiles to make a dumb statement instead of actually doing what the mass public, their customers want. Build an off-road blazer, build a supercharged Silverado, and make a small pickup.
Is it just me, or does that have “Ridgeline” written all over it?
No the ridgeline is much bigger.
You’re right … THIS one looks more like the Hyundai pickup! 😂
GM should bring that truck here to the states to go up aginst the ford maverick..
it would be nice to give that little truck some love by putting the LUV name on it. :))
Too bad Chevrolet preferred to develop a simplified design in some mechanical aspects compared to models that will be its main competitors. While Toro and Oroch have multilink rear suspension, Montana will have a torsion axle, which does not offer as much strength and comfort, despite the lower production cost. The same can be said for the traction system, as the Chevrolet model will only feature front-wheel drive, while rivals may be equipped with 4×4 all-wheel drive in some versions and specific markets.
If the rumors are correct, even the engine will be inferior in some respects, as the use of the 1.2T engine without direct injection is considered, which provides up to 133 hp and 21.4 kgfm of torque. Rivals use 1.3T engines with direct injection and greater power and torque (TCe with 170 hp and 27.5 kgfm in the French brand and GSE with 185 hp and 27.5 kgfm in the Italian brand).
At least Chevrolet can try to match a little in the technological and safety aspect with Fiat, since Renault is deficient in these characteristics.
What failed opportunity to be sold here . I guess the maverick will be the lone compact truck in the US market. Sorry cruz fans. Maybe rebrand it as the s10 here. Would sell just as well.
This is just stupid… how bout producing a vehicle that people actually want? Like a 3/4 ton Suburban with an actual L5P Duramax.
Because this is for Latin America, and people actually buy these.
In America, people want the 3/4 ton Suburban, but they have also proven they want a small truck like the Ford Maverick that is outselling everything – including the Suburban. GM needs to concentrate on providing all types of vehicles to make all customers happy. A diesel powered heavy duty Suburban or pickup has a very limited market.
The maverick IS outselling the Suburban, but NOT the Tahoe … yet neither of those is the top selling vehicle in size compared to the maverick either. That would be more along the lines of the Equinox, which sold over 56,000 units in Q2 of this year.
I would buy a downsized 4×4
A lot of people who buy half ton pickups don’t even need the (albeit limited) towing and hauling capabilities that these trucks offer. A smaller, cheaper offering would sell very well. Look at the success of the Ford Maverick. The S10, Sonoma and original Ford Ranger trucks always sold well when they were built
Can’t wait to see it.
