When it comes to full-size sedans, there are no many on the market that are able to offer both modern styling and an affordable price. However, there is one car that stands out in this crowded market – the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. This is one of the few sedans that offers a nice styling, premium look, premium interior with lots of space – and all of it for a competitive price.
The 2017 Chevrolet Malibu will be an update of the current model. For example, Chevrolet has decided to use bigger front and rear bumpers, which will increase the overall length of the Malibu for around 6 cm. On the other hand, some of the panels will be made out of lightweight materials, which will make the Malibu lighter by about 200 pounds , which will enable it to have better performance and better fuel economy. The back of the new Malibu still features those luxury-inspired taillights, but the bigger bumper really makes the whole rear look bigger.
Chevrolet plans to offer the interior in different color variations – like black and cream and all black, but this is not yet confirmed. The standard analog gauge cluster in the Chevrolet Malibu 2017 will remain, but the touch screen display that is used for satellite navigation and infotainment got bigger. Every new Malibu comes with MyLink software, advanced climate control, rear view camera and multiple safety features.
Reports suggest that there will be three different units – first is the 2.0l 4-cylinder engine with turbocharger that should produce around 260 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, second engine is the 1.5l EcoTec turbocharged, however this unit will most probably be offered only in Europe and the third engine is the 2.5l 4-cylinder engine that produces 196 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque. The 2017 Chevrolet Malibu will come with either 8-speed or 9-speed automatic transmission.
