Power and Handling

A healthy 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque are generated by the Malibu’s turbocharged 1.5L inline-4 engine, resulting in strong acceleration when combined with the car’s low weight of under 3,200 pounds. Completing the drivetrain is a responsive continuously variable transmission that helps achieve an impressive EPA-rated fuel economy of up to 36 MPG highway.

The Malibu’s MacPherson gas-charged strut front suspension and 4-link rear suspension enable it to maintain its poise when taking tight turns. Chevy’s Stabilitrak electronic stability control complements the traction control system by making subtle changes to torque delivery and braking. Standard brake assist can sense when the driver is performing emergency braking and responds by adding extra braking force.

Passenger Cabin

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a simple, yet refined interior design with excellent fit and finish. The dashboard, center console, and door panels feature interesting textures and beautiful metal trim. In addition to well-bolstered, supportive front seats, there’s plentiful space for five adults, including 41.5 inches of front legroom and 38.1 inches of rear legroom.

Several pieces of large luggage can easily fit into the trunk, which offers close to 16 cubic feet of cargo space. Air filtration, premium cloth upholstery, and a 12-volt power outlet all come standard, but buyers can also opt for dual-zone climate control, perforated leather seating, and a heated steering wheel.

Multimedia System and Connectivity

All Malibu’s feature an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that provides support for wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth audio streaming, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. In its 2LT trim, the car comes with the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system adding cloud-connected personalization and a navigation system featuring enhanced voice recognition. An available 9-speaker Bose premium audio system promises an incredible listening experience.

Safety

A host of driver assists will come standard on every model. These include frontal collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assistance with lane departure warnings. There’s even a following distance indicator that shows in seconds how far ahead the vehicle is in front of you.

Like other new vehicles in the Chevy lineup, the Malibu has the Teen Driver feature. It can provide an in-vehicle report showing driver habits, keep the radio from playing until it detects that the front seat belts are fastened, and ensure that safety systems are engaged.

The stylish Malibu is sure to wow drivers with its nimble performance and advanced technology. Contact Southworth Chevrolet GMC today and schedule your test drive with the newest Malibu in Bloomer today!
