Chevrolet Malibu
The Chevrolet Malibu combines affordability and style in a mid-size family sedan.

A 2.4-litre, battery- assisted four-cylinder mild hybrid, offered in the Eco trim level, provides 182 ponies while returning impressive fuel economy figures. All versions of the Malibu are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
