Welcome to the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu
With all the detail not revealed yet. This site hopes to bring you the latest. Keep an eye on our Video page, as well as the Blog information. As soon as we have details we will get this to you.
Here are some of the highlight details on the 2011 and 2010 Malibu from Chevy.com
PERFORMANCE
33 MPG Highway: Advantage Malibu
With 33 MPG highway, Malibu LTZ offers fuel economy that a comparable Toyota Camry can't match. That means up to 528 highway miles on a single fill-up. A six-speed automatic transmission, standard on all models, helps maximize performance and fuel efficiency. Malibu engines feature Variable Valve Timing (VVT) - a technology that optimizes combustion, enhances low-end torque and helps lower tailpipe emissions. A 252-hp 3.6L engine with dual overhead camshafts and VVT is available on 2LT and LTZ. Fuel economy for this engine is 26 highway and 17 city.
EXTERIOR
Malibu's world-class design and superb level of craftsmanship have earned the respect of people who know cars.
Acoustic Laminated Glass
The same concept used in expensive luxury cars - helps create a barrier to reduce unwanted noise.
Bright Lights
Malibu LTZ features taillamps with clear lenses and LED illumination.
18" Wheels
New 18" five-spoke Chrome-Tech aluminum wheels are available on 2LT as part of available Engine Package.
INTERIOR
Meticulous Attention to Quality
You'll be impressed by the nearly microscopic gaps - many as tight as 1mm - in the interior fit and finish.
Thoughtful Conveniences
From the dual cockpit to the sculpted door panels, one detail flows seamlessly into the next. There's a Driver Information Center, featuring an outside temperature gauge, Tire Pressure Monitor(12), and readouts for range and instant/average MPG.
Leather Appointments
Inside the leather-appointed LTZ interior, the heated driver seat includes an eight-way power adjuster and power lumbar control, while the heated passenger seat features a six-way power adjuster.
Upscale Details
Rich textures please the sense. A Remote Vehicle Starter System even pre-cools your Malibu LTZ on hot days or preheats it on cold days.
