Exterior

Delivers the highest fuel economy among all Malibu models - EPA ratings of 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway without having the highest price tag.
The Malibu Hybrid is just one example of Chevy\'s Fuel Solutions technologies that will take us from gas-friendly to gas-free.
Standard features include automatic climate control, StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, 16-inch wheels and a DIC with hybrid-specific information.
GM’s new two-tiered grille is flanked by large jeweled headlamps.
Laminated, sound-deadening “quiet glass” not only keeps exterior noise out of the cabin, but allow for interior sounds to resonate.
Brightwork around the side windows grants the Malibu a premium look that is often seen on more luxurious vehicles. The Malibu rides atop either 16-, 17- or 18-inch aluminum wheels.
The Malibu Hybrid takes on a much sportier and refined look than the previous generation Malibu.

 

Mechanical

It has good power for high-speed traffic and handles in an agile and responsive manner. Ride quality is soft and compliant, making the Malibu Hybrid a good commuter vehicle.
A hybrid battery pack that is capable of delivering and receiving more than 10,000 watts of power. Located in the back of the trunk.
The GM Hybrid is designed to automatically maintain full accessory functionality when the vehicle is stopped, including climate control, so that hybrid operation is transparent to the driver and passengers.
A 2.4L Ecotec VVT 4-cylinder engine and Hydra-Matic 4T45 4-speed transmission. At a 164 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 159 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,000 rpm.

 

Safety
