2016 Chevrolet Malibu Review Specifications

2016 Chevrolet Malibu, GM will push all-in-progress to the market reality that demands a lighter, slimmer, more fuel efficient, and more connected.

Just a few years ago, mid-size sedan mainstream model line with only two choices of small turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a hybrid version will be one step horrible. However, for 2016, a realistic target sales growth Chevy without V-6 option, and even not more than 2.0 liter engine in the works.

The new generation of downsized credit-er "power-dense" as GM officials want to call them-turbo fours, plus a complete transformation of the rest of the car, too. With a weight loss of 300 pounds from the previous version of Malibu, the design is much more balanced, and the interior was dramatically greater, even if its just a little bigger with the number on the car last year, Malibu is finally looking like one of the top entry in mid-size sedan.

Malibu last completely redesigned just three years ago, but it feels like a collection of design elements that are not fully fleshed out together, inside or out. Fortunately, the 2016 Malibu work down from handsome Impala, smoothed to slim proportions, with a new body long and rich looks interiors do really far with historical references or gestures-except perhaps nose dual-grille may be trying a little too hard to adjust.

< div style="text-align: justify;">Most of the Malibu lineup is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. It takes the place of the 2.5-liter four that used to be the base engine, and before you rush to conclusions you may be surprised to hear that it feels more powerful and smoother than the previous engine from the drivers seat. It makes 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission; This combination is hard to catch flat-footed, and it was quiet and calm. Top 2LT and Premier models step up to a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 250 hp and 258 lb-ft. This is connected with Aisin eight-speed automatic transmission and shifted somewhat more precise, defined gearchanges from the six-speed. This top turbo Malibu now feels as fast as some of its predecessors with a V-6 under the hood, and this engine feels strong and fast when you need it to be yet has some of the best drivability and refinement in its class.
