GM AIMS TO GRAB ATTENTION WITH REVAMPED CHEVROLET MALIBU

Chassis and suspension updates contribute to the 2014 Malibuâ??s more refined driving experience, including rebound springs that are internal to the struts.

By Nathan Bomey, Detroit Free Press - Chassis and suspension updates contribute to the 2014 Malibu's more refined driving experience, including rebound springs that are internal to the struts.  They enable more refined calibration of the dampers for a smoother overall ride, while also improving body roll control and weight transfer during acceleration or turning.

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu arriving in dealerships the fall of 2013, will be the first midsize sedan sold in the U.S. to offer fuel-saving stop/start technology standard on its 2.5L base model. The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu's redesigned center console has a longer armrest, providing greater comfort and storage room for two cell phones and a pair of cup holders. 

Chevrolet Stop/Start technology helps customers conserve fuel by automatically shutting off the engine when the car comes to a stop, such as at stoplights.  The engine seamlessly restarts when the driver takes his or her foot off the brake.  EPA-estimated fuel economy: 25 mpg city / 36 mpg highway.

New start/stop technology shuts down the 2.5L engine to save fuel when the Malibu stops momentarily, such as stoplights, contributing to an estimated five-percent increase in city fuel economy.  An auxiliary battery powers electric accessories such as the climate system, power windows and radio during engine restarts.

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu has a revised front-end appearance, more backseat knee room, and a new 2.5L engine that delivers as estimated fuel economy of 23 city / 35 highway.  Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert safety features are also available.
