The New Chevy Malibu Offers Power and Spaciousness for Valparaiso Drivers
If you are a driver in the market for one of the best midsized sedans available on the market today, look no further than the Chevy Malibu here at Valparaiso's Team Chevrolet. The Malibu is known most for its powerful V6 engine, great pick-up, and spacious cab and trunk space. It is available in three trim levels — the LS, LT, and LTZ — all of which offer both four-cylinder and V6 engine choices. The 2012 model has only a few minor tweaks to last year’s body style, so drivers can continue to enjoy the same great styling they’re used to from the Chevy Malibu.
Interior Features of the Chevy Malibu
Lack of space should not be an issue in any version of the Chevy Malibu. A two-cockpit design affords both the driver and passenger more than sufficient room in the front seat. It also offers a heavy sound-insulated interior, allowing for a quite ride at all times. Additionally, the Malibu displays a very aesthetically pleasing dashboard — one that has gotten great reviews from drivers and experts, alike.
Bluetooth is available as an option in both the LS and 1LT models and comes standard on the LTZ trim. Other available interior options include a six-way power driver’s seat, remote starter, sunroof, and a 110-volt three-prong power outlet. One of the Malibu’s best features is its large and easily accessible trunk. With 15.1 cubic feet of cargo space, it is among the largest trunks available in any current midsized sedan.
The New Chevy Malibu Boasts a Powerful Engine
Drivers around the country have been nothing but impressed with the power displayed by the V6 engine in the Chevy Malibu, now available in Valparaiso. While the standard four-cylinder engine runs a respectable 169 hp — making it more powerful than many of its competitors — the 3.6L V6 packs an astounding 252 hp and is standard on the 3LT and 2LZ models. The EPA estimated fuel economy for the Malibu is 22 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway for the four-cylinder models and is slightly less for the V6 versions at roughly 17 mpg and 26 mpg, respectively.
