Review Spec Price and Manual

Chevrolet has recently revealed some of the latest information about the existing and upcoming models of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.
The Malibu has been one of the brand's most popular models and this was
probably the reason why Chevrolet has carefully prepared for the
release of the 2013 version of this model. Although General Motors has
been very secretive of the vehicle's overall features, the company has
provided a few statements that somehow describe the things that most car
buyers should expect from the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu and this includes
the following.

The existing and upcoming engine options

Chevrolet has provided some information about the existing and upcoming
engine options that would probably be available for the 2013 Chevrolet
Malibu. First off, the latest version of the Malibu is currently
available in the market as the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco. This is
powered by a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed automatic
transmission and paired with a small electric motor. The engine and the
small electric motor are capable of producing a combined power output of
182 horsepower and 172 lb.-ft. of torque.

Although the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco
is using an electric motor, this vehicle is not considered as a full
hybrid but a mild hybrid. This simply means that the Malibu Eco is not
capable of running by just using electricity alone. Instead, the
electric motor reduces the engine's workload by providing power to the
vehicle's accessories and by enabling the sedan's stop/start system to
work and thereby help the vehicle conserve fuel. Due to this, the Malibu
Eco obtains the impressive fuel economy rating s of 25 miles per gallon
in the city, 37 miles per gallon on the highway, and 29 miles per
gallon when combined.

But aside from the engine used in the Malibu Eco, General Motors is also
planning to use a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Ecotec engine and a 2.0-liter
turbocharged and direct-injected 4-cylinder engine on the upcoming trim
levels of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Ecotec
engine that will roll out this summer pumps out a maximum power output
of up to 197 horsepower and 191 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2.0-liter
turbocharged and direct-injected 4-cylinder engine on the other hand
produces about 259 horsepower and 260 lb-ft. of torque. The Malibu which
is powered by the turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0 is expected to
hit the dealerships this fall.

Fully redesigned features

Chevrolet has also confirmed that the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu will be sold
as a fully-redesigned version of its predecessor. As seen on the 2013
Chevrolet Malibu Eco, the vehicle obtained a major exterior and interior
upgrade. The materials used in the vehicle's cabin were quite upscale.
Unlike before, Chevrolet has used a lot of soft-touch materials on the
Malibu's interior. In addition to this, the company has also used a lot
of sound deadening materials on the vehicle to reduce the noise that are
heard inside the cabin when the engine is working or when the sedan is
running at higher speeds.
