Malibu’s world-class design and superb level of craftsmanship have earned the respect of people who know cars. New 18″ five-spoke Chrome-Tech aluminum wheels are available on 2LT as part of available Engine Package. From the dual cockpit to the sculpted door panels, one detail flows seamlessly into the next. There’s a Driver Information Center, featuring an outside temperature gauge, Tire Pressure Monitor, and readouts for range and instant/average MPG. With 33 MPG highway, Malibu LTZ offers fuel economy that a comparable Toyota Camry can’t match. That means up to 528 highway miles on a single fill-up. A six-speed automatic transmission, standard on all models, helps maximize performance and fuel efficiency. Malibu engines feature Variable Valve Timing (VVT) – a technology that optimizes combustion, enhances low-end torque and helps lower tailpipe emissions. A 252-hp 3.6L engine with dual overhead camshafts and VVT is available on 2LT and LTZ. Fuel economy for this engine is 26 highway and 17 city. OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation (standard for the first six months) offers you a live Advisor to help – even if you don’t know the full address. Just push the OnStar button and an automated voice calls out directions. You can also plan ahead with eNav at MapQuest.com and send your destination to your Malibu before you go. The starting MSRP for 2011 Chevrolet Malibu is $21,975.
