The Montego is a new large-midsized passenger car offering. While having a fairly modest size, the Montego features a 21 cu. ft. trunk and 107 cu. ft. of interior volume. Montego is powered by a 200hp 3.0-liter V6 and is offered in both FWD and AWD configurations. Both a six-speed automatic transmission and a continuously variable transmission are available.

Seat-mounted side air bags and Safety Canopy(TM) side air curtains become standard (late availability). Traction control becomes standard on all models.
