When Consumers Digest named Chevrolet Malibu as one of its 2009 Best Buys, it was only reinforcing what drivers across Canada and the United States have discovered for themselves: namely that Malibu provides a unique combination of distinctive styling, extraordinary fuel effi ciency and exemplary quality. No wonder Malibu has won more than 30 prestigious awards, including the 2009 Best New Family Vehicle* from Kelley Blue Book and why AUTOMOBILE Magazine in February 2009 wrote: “ … Drive one, and you will see why we've named it an … All-Star winner two years in a row.” It shows you what happens when you bring together trend-setting design and innovative
engineering. The car that sets the standard for all other mid-size sedans. The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu.

IT’S NOT JUST THEIR “BEST BUY”.

Perceptions have changed – people used to look to the likes of the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord to identify the best mid-sized car. Now all it takes is a visit to your neighbourhood Chevrolet dealer. That’s where you’ll fi nd the real benchmark for its class: Malibu. As AUTOMOBILE Magazine affi rms, Malibu is: “a family sedan that is more enjoyable to drive than the Toyota Camry, better looking than the Honda Accord …” Malibu’s sporty personality is established by its long wheelbase and short overhangs – the same characteristics, coupled with a tight wheel-to-body relationship, contribute to Malibu’s confi dent handling. Your control is further enhanced by the standard four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and StabiliTrak®. First it wowed the critics; now it’s about to do the same to you.

Malibu’s standard 170 horsepower 2.4L ECOTEC dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine employs fuel-saving technology like Variable Valve Timing (VVT). When combined with the six-speed automatic transmission on 2LT and LTZ models, it enables Malibu to earn stellar 5.9 L/100 km highway fuel consumption ratings. That’s better than either the comparably equipped Toyota Camry or Honda Accord.* In fact, it beats all non-hybrid cars in its class** and it translates into an amazing highway driving range of up to 1034 km. If instead, it’s performance that drives you, take note of the available 252 horsepower 3.6L V6 VVT engine. Malibu – it’s engineered around your priorities.

THERE’S FUEL EFFICIENCY. AND THEN THERE’S BEST-IN-CLASS FUEL EFFICIENCY.

Take your position inside Malibu and you’ll realize that this is a car that is designed with fl air – and with a commitment to an exceptional driving experience. As soon as you see the sports car-inspired dual cockpit confi guration, it is apparent that this is a mid-size car that is more than highly functional. Malibu is further distinguished by its impeccable fi t and fi nish. Look closely and you can see evidence in the tight gaps between the trim panels and the furniture-quality stitching in the seating material. What you won’t see is the use of acoustic laminated glass that contributes
to Malibu’s ultra-quiet ride. If you prefer to pump up the volume, Malibu offers an available Bose® premium eight-speaker sound system.* A USB port is also available, allowing you to plug in your own musical selections. It all adds up to a more rewarding drive – by design.

With such high expectations of the 2011 Malibu, extensive testing was essential in achieving a new performance benchmark. That’s why, during the development of the new Malibu, we ventured to a wide variety of global locations – from Australia to Germany to Sweden. Included was the circuit with a reputation as the toughest in the world: the Nordschleife course at Nürburgring. What was learned on those tracks made Malibu’s handling dynamics even more stable and precise. Key technologies include a 4.5 link independent rear suspension, traction control and anti-lock brakes, with input provided by microcomputers, accelerometers and stability sensors. A three-mode StabiliTrak® system is included on LS and LT models, while SS models add a fourth competitive mode for sanctioned racing events. The stiff, ultra-high-strength steel chassis structure further enhances the suspension tuning while contributing to the comprehensive occupant protection. A technological tour de force – proven on test tracks around the globe and driven by some of the world’s elite test drivers. The track ahead is now clear. The wait is over. You’re next.

Now that you’ve made yourself comfortable, it’s time to familiarize yourself with Malibu’s controls. They give you a high level of command over a series of Malibu’s functions. A good example is provided by the six-speed automatic transmission on 2LT and LTZ models. It includes TAPshiftTM manual shift control with paddles on the steering wheel that enables you to select the desired gear for performance-like driving or to address specifi c road conditions. There are also steering wheel controls for the sound system on all but LS models. All these controls allow you to make adjustments without taking your hands off the steering wheel. The same principle applies to the Bluetooth® wireless mobile phone connectivity that’s standard on all but LS models. And you can use the available three-prong 110-volt household power outlet to plug in your electronic devices. Sophisticated controls for a very sophisticated car.

Malibu is engineered to help keep you safe, starting with advanced driver control technology. But the reality is – some accidents are simply unavoidable. That’s why Malibu is also equipped with comprehensive occupant protection features, including six standard air bags: dual-stage frontal air bags with a Passenger Sensing System, front seatmounted thorax side-impact air bags, and frontto- rear head curtain side-impact air bags.* They helped Malibu earn the highest U.S. government frontal and side-impact crash ratings – fi ve stars.** You also have the security of OnStar®† – a system you won’t fi nd on either Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. It can direct emergency service providers to your exact location. Peace of mind: it isn’t a luxury in Malibu, it’s standard equipment.
