“MALIBU HAS BEEN THE SURPRISE OF
THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD.” – US NEWS & WORLD REPORT
Perceptions have changed – people used to look to the likes of the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord to identify the best mid-sized car.
Now all it takes is a visit to your neighbourhood Chevrolet dealer. That’s where you’ll find the real benchmark for its class: Malibu. As
AUTOMOBILE Magazine affirms, Malibu is: “a family sedan that is more enjoyable to drive than the Toyota Camry, better looking than the
Honda Accord …” Malibu’s sporty personality is established by its long wheelbase and short overhangs – the same characteristics, coupled
with a tight wheel-to-body relationship, contribute to Malibu’s confident handling. Your control is further enhanced by the standard
four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and StabiliTrak®. First it wowed the critics; now it’s about to do the same to you.

THERE’S FUEL EFFICIENCY.
AND THEN THERE’S BEST-IN-CLASS FUEL EFFICIENCY.
Malibu’s standard 170 horsepower 2.4L ECOTEC dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine employs fuel-saving technology like Variable
Valve Timing (VVT). When combined with the six-speed automatic transmission on 2LT and LTZ models, it enables Malibu to earn stellar
5.9 L/100 km highway fuel consumption ratings. That’s better than either the comparably equipped Toyota Camry or Honda Accord.* In fact,
it beats all non-hybrid cars in its class** and it translates into an amazing highway driving range of up to 1034 km. If instead, it’s performance
that drives you, take note of the available 252 horsepower 3.6L V6 VVT engine. Malibu – it’s engineered around your priorities.

“… NEWFOUND LEVELS OF REFINEMENT AND STYLE … LEGITIMATE
CONTENDER FOR BEST-IN-CLASS BRAGGING RIGHTS.” – MOTOR TREND
Take your position inside Malibu and you’ll realize that this is a car that is designed with flair – and with a commitment to an exceptional driving
experience. As soon as you see the sports car-inspired dual cockpit configuration, it is apparent that this is a mid-size car that is more than highly
functional. Malibu is further distinguished by its impeccable fit and finish. Look closely and you can see evidence in the tight gaps between the
trim panels and the furniture-quality stitching in the seating material. What you won’t see is the use of acoustic laminated glass that contributes
to Malibu’s ultra-quiet ride. If you prefer to pump up the volume, Malibu offers an available Bose® premium eight-speaker sound system.*
A USB port is also available, allowing you to plug in your own musical selections. It all adds up to a more rewarding drive – by design.
* Interim availability. See your dealer for details.

6. CONTROLS
EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL.
Now that you’ve made yourself comfortable, it’s time to familiarize yourself with Malibu’s controls. They give you a high level of
command over a series of Malibu’s functions. A good example is provided by the six-speed automatic transmission on 2LT and LTZ
models. It includes TAPshiftTM manual shift control with paddles on the steering wheel that enables you to select the desired gear for
performance-like driving or to address specific road conditions. There are also steering wheel controls for the sound system on all but LS
models. All these controls allow you to make adjustments without taking your hands off the steering wheel. The same principle applies
to the Bluetooth® wireless mobile phone connectivity that’s standard on all but LS models. And you can use the available three-prong
110-volt household power outlet to plug in your electronic devices. Sophisticated controls for a very sophisticated car.
