Longer and lighter, the new Malibu also offers drivers more interior space. Its wheelbase has been stretched close to four inches (101 mm), and it is nearly 300 pounds (136 kg) lighter than the previous model.

An all-new hybrid powertrain, which uses technology from the Chevrolet Volt, helps the 2016 Malibu attain fuel efficiency that’s unsurpassed in the segment – a General Motors-estimated 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 47 mpg combined. The Malibu’s standard 1.5L turbo powertrain is EPA-estimated at 37 mpg on the highway.
