The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu is a ninth-generation sedan that offers a pleasing blend of style, comfort, and technology. Available in four trims: L, LS, LT and Premier, the Malibu features two engine options. The base 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder produces 160 horsepower, while a more robust 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, available on Premier, puts out 250 horsepower. Both are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions, with the Premier getting an upgraded eight-speed. Front-wheel drive is standard across all trims. Inside, the Malibu offers an optional 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Notable safety features include available blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and forward-collision warning. In 2016, the Malibu received a full redesign, making it lighter, more fuel-efficient, and providing a more spacious interior.
