Chevrolet Malibu
The Chevrolet Malibu is a midsize sedan that combines luxury and sportiness, especially in the case of the Redline edition that comes with, among other things, a more aggressive grille and black wheels. The Malibu is delivered with a turbocharged, 1.5L four cylinder. The optional turbo 2.0L engine can be very interesting. There’s also a hybrid version that, thanks to a smaller-displacement engine paired with an electric motor, reduces fuel consumption and emissions.
