General Motors has just launched the 2025 Chevy Montana in Argentina while adding a new variant that expands the lineup of Chevrolet‘s compact pickup in the South American country.
Chevy Montana Premier
The automaker launched the 2025 Chevy Montana line in Argentina with an important novelty for the local market, expanding the pickup’s model range that was first introduced in the country in July 2023. In this sense, the GM Argentina subsidiary added a new entry-level version that will increase the market reach and competitiveness of the unibody pickup in the Argentine market.
Chevy Montana LTZ
“We are pleased to present this new entry-level version of our Montana pickup in the Argentine market,” said Commercial Director of GM Argentina, Raúl Mier. “With it, we respond to the expectations of our customers with a proposal that is even more tailored to the needs of consumers of this type of pickup, who are looking for an affordable vehicle that is at the same time very harmonious between work and leisure use,” he added.
Chevy Montana LT
In addition to the Premier and LTZ trim levels that the model initially launched with, the main new addition to the 2025 Chevy Montana is the more-affordable LT trim level that keeps most of the technology and safety features, but receives a more basic appearance. This includes a black front grille, steel wheels with hubcaps, halogen headlights, cloth seats, and an interior with fewer comfort items.
Mechanically, the 2025 Chevy Montana LT is equipped with the same turbocharged 1.2L I3 engine that develops 132 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque, mated to an LT-specific five-speed manual transmission – as opposed to the six-speed automatic transmission found in the two range-topping variants. As such, the manual transmission is the only new feature that distinguishes the LT’s powertrain from those in the LTZ and Premier.
The extended 2025 Chevy Montana lineup is now available for sale at the Bow Tie brand’s official dealer network in Argentina, with the new LT manual variant initially available through the local financing program called Plan de Ahorro and retail sales starting at the end of the month. Here is pricing for the 2025 Montana lineup in the Argentine market:
- 2025 Montana LT manual: 28,996,900 pesos (about $29,870 USD at the current exchange rate)
- 2025 Montana LTZ: 32,957,900 pesos ($33,950 USD)
- 2025 Montana Premier: 35,838,900 pesos ($36,920 USD)
Comments
Appealing in its own right, could sell here with the 1.3L big-block triple threat engine. Would consider trading my Trax for a Montana 1.3L AWD LT. It needs a bit more power and optional AWD to sell in North America.
Santa Cruz and Maverick are not clones of each other. The Montana could carve its own mini-truck niche if it is marketed correctly, not as a direct competitor to the other two entries in the new mini-truck class.
It looks like a Trailblazer trucklet. I don’t mind that it won’t pull like a Duramax HD. Each entry needs to be carefully measured for its intended purpose.
Maverik is much bigger vs this montana
i still can’t believe that GM refuses to build a compact 2 door pick up with just 2 doors and a full size bed like the older canyons i had ….these 4 door worthless pickups with short beds are just awful ….
Exhibit A: Mary asleep at the EV wheel (and gushing over her heavily biased automotive media praise). Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz success? Bah humbug, I got another award, I’m overpaid, and me and Joe/Kammy will dictate what the people will drive.
