POWERFUL CHOICES
ALL-NEW 2.0L ECOTEC®
TURBOCHARGED ENGINE

259 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque deliver

ECOTEC® ENGINE
This state-of-the-art 4-cylinder is one of the

helps make
for an even more enjoyable drive.
6-SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
All Malibu models come standard
with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Feel like choosing your own gears?
The Driver Shift Control feature
allows you to shift gears manually.
Malibu lets you choose from three powerful, fuel-efficient engines. All three feature engineering advancements
like Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing (VVT). Direct Injection allows for a more
complete combustion of fuel, which helps improve both efciency and power
while also resulting in lower emissions. Variable Valve Timing also boosts
performance by delivering near-peak torque over a wide rpm range.
No matter which engine you choose, you’ll enjoy an
excellent blend of power and efficiency.

If you appreciate the solid, connected-to-the-road feel of a sophisticated sedan, the all-new Malibu
is sure to impress you. This all-new mid-size Chevrolet is engineered with premium chassis
technologies so every ride feels smooth and planted.
Youll enjoy a new kind of confidence in
virtually every driving situation.
POISED PERFORMANCE
PRECISE VARIABLE-EFFORT
STEERING
The premium ZF electric rack-and-pinion
steering system delivers crisp, responsive
handling and excellent on-centre feel. A tight
steering radius, combined with a variable-effort
feature that increases the level of power
assistance during low-speed manoeuvres,
makes city driving a breeze.
ALL-NEW INDEPENDENT
SUSPENSION
There’s a reason Malibu rides and drives
like a premium sedan. The sophisticated,
fully independent suspension has been
tuned and tested on highways, rural roads
and test tracks around the world. A wide
stance and stiff structure contribute to the
smooth ride and nimble handling.
STABILITRAK® ELECTRONIC
STABILITY CONTROL
Every Malibu is equipped with the StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability
Control System to help assist you with directional control of the
vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Sensors continually monitor
both the path being steered and the direction the car is actually
travelling. If StabiliTrak® detects a difference, it selectively applies
brake pressure to the appropriate wheel to help direct the car back
to the path being steered.
4-WHEEL ANTI-LOCK
DISC BRAKES
The confidence of a 4-wheel anti-lock disc
brake system is standard on every Malibu.
Ventilated front discs help cool the brakes
and maintain stopping power. An integrated
Brake Assist system is designed to modulate
situations, reducing stopping distances.
