Chevy Malibu in Cedar Rapids
The Malibu is Chevrolet’s midsize sedan that received a complete makeover for 2008. With a new bolder design including a dual-port grille and upscale elements such as an available two-tone interior, the new Malibu continues to be a five-seat front-wheel-drive sedan but is designed to give buyers “more bang for the buck.” Upgrades include more horsepower, better fuel economy and additional equipment, and the new Malibu is also three inches longer with a six inch longer wheelbase than the previous model. The Malibu name was first used for the top-level Chevelle in 1964 and the name returned for the 1997 model year as an all-new front-wheel-drive sedan. The new Chevrolet Malibu comes standard with the OnStar advanced communication system.
The 2010 Chevrolet Malibu adds 17-inch chrome-clad wheels as standard equipment for the Malibu 2LT, the 2.4-liter engine is E85-capable and the 6-speed automatic transmission is now standard for the Malibu 1LT. Malibu is rated at 33 mpg highway when equipped with the 2.4-liter engine and the 6-speed automatic transmission.
