Chevrolet Montana RS aesthetics and connectivity

A Chevrolet Montana RS there were no changes to its equipment list when compared to the Premier version, the former top of spectrum. The changes are purely aesthetic, so it's worth remembering what the pickup brings something interesting from the point of view technological.

The positive part, of course, is the connectivity package, which is a differentiator when comparing the model with the Renault Oroch and Fiat Strada, two of its main models. competitors.

A Montana RS comes with the system OnStar, Chevrolet's concierge, and you can have Claro's 4G enabled natively to offer excellent quality connections to passengers, as we always see here. The experience remains good in terms of connectivity when using the My Chevrolet app, which helps you monitor the pickup and check important usage data.

The central multimedia My Link has an 8-inch screen and remains competent, with an intuitive and fast interface, in addition to wireless connection to Android Auto e Apple CarPlay. The only 'however' with using the device is the image quality, which cannot be adjusted and has little contrast, giving the impression of being an inferior product — which is not true. Certain things can bother more demanding customers and GM could now update this unit.

Suspension, engine and handling on the Chevrolet Montana RS

Anyone who expected to see different behavior in the Chevrolet Montana RS can get out of the rain. According to what we found out from GM itself on the day the truck was launched, no changes were made to the suspension, gearbox and engine.

This, of course, does not mean that the pickup be lame — on the contrary. As it is light for a car of this type, weighing just 1.310 kg, the 1.2 turbo engine with 133 hp and 21,4 kgf/m of torque is more than enough to bring great coexistence with the vehicle. Chevrolet truck. The transmission, automatic and six-speed, is also the same used in other models from the manufacturer.

Its drivability, praised in the Premier version, remains very good here, with well-calibrated electric steering and an honest level of performance for urban and highway use. This three-cylinder engine does its job well, undeniably.

Features, interior space and finish of the Chevrolet Montana RS

The Montana RS's weakest point in terms of usability is its internal space. I remember well when GM presented the car for the first time, last year, claiming that the space would be the best used in the category. Well, that depends.

The sealing system applied by GM, in fact, is what guarantees the greatest financial security and comfort for passengers when they imagine their luggage in the compartment on rainy days. We tested it and, believe me, it's really good.

In terms of comfort features, we have a reasonable package. There is digital and automatic air conditioning, but only in one zone. We also have rain and twilight sensors, front and rear parking sensors, in-person key, push-button start and remote engine start.

We usually complain about the finish of Chevrolet volume cars, but the Montana RS pleased us in this regard. There is a whimsy in the panel, with the application of good quality materials and great finishes, changing the perception of simplicity of the Tracker, its platform brother, a little.
