Chevrolet Malibu

But it soldiers on mostly unchanged while many rivals have been redesigned. Two turbo four-cylinder engines are offered. We tested the 1.5-liter turbo with a six-speed automatic and got 29 mpg overall. A continuously variable transmission is now standard. The uplevel engine is a more powerful and refined 2.0-liter turbo mated to a nine-speed automatic. Up front is a comfortable cockpit and an updated version of Chevrolet's infotainment system. But the cloth seats provide less back and leg support than the leather seats. The roomy rear seat lets long-legged passengers stretch out. Recent updates included wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Active safety features are optional.
