2013 chevrolet malibu review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-new midsize sedan is smooth and refined. introductionthe chevrolet malibu is completely redesigned and re-engineered for the 2013 model year and the 2013 malibu is a winner, delivering a smooth ride, responsive handling, cabin comfort and ease of use. It looks both modern and nicely understated; the stylists resisted the temptation to go lady gaga just to attract attention. the interior, like the exterior, is handsome and, for a chevrolet, pleasingly elegant. The luxury level of this chevrolet seems almost buick, though drawn with a much freer hand. Obviously, having the mission of standing out all around the world has not hurt chevrolet's styling vocabulary in the least. but the minute we drove the 2013 malibu eco around a fast bend, we knew we were driving a new kind of chevrolet. It's a family car, to be sure, filled with all the familiar keynotes that define mid-size chevrolet sedans. But in the same moment, it is a far more roadable vehicle than the malibus of five or ten years ago. A proper driver's car communicates precisely what the driving conditions are, and serious lapses in driver feedback have ever been a shortcoming not only of non-corvette chevrolets but most american cruisers. Yet very suddenly, the new malibu is a genuine contender in the world driver's car sweepstakes. It's not perfect; the more expensive sports-sedan marketers, after all, have had decades' more experience at fine-tuning their cars' behavior. But this chevrolet family sedan has made a truly remarkable move in their direction. It is a genuinely rewarding car to drive. The result is vigorous over-the-road performance, achieved while also registering very high highway mileage. the 2013 malibu eco is a sleek new mild-hybrid package that is reasonably roomy, handsomely styled, and most of all, a convincing contemporary american rendering of the world car. The 2013 chevrolet malibu eco mild hybrid is debuting simultaneously in the u. Though general motors has long paid lip service to the concept of world cars, very suddenly in 2012, it is a world car company and will be judged by world-car standards.

Rearview camera is optional. walkarounda quick way to understand the new looks of the 2013 chevrolet malibu is to consider its competition: the midsize toyota camry, honda accord, ford fusion, and hyundai sonata. Malibu's nicely integrated modernism puts it well in range of them. It has a sleek, coupe-like profile without sacrificing too much rear seat headroom to the sloping roofline, as some higher end sedans do. the 2013 malibu is 4. 5-inches shorter than the previous-generation version, and its front and rear track are two inches wider, for a more stable package. at the nose of the malibu are two main horizontal grille ports and a lower intake containing very advanced aerodynamic shutters, among the first in this economical category. These shutters automatically close to decrease drag and increase fuel mileage at higher speeds. Conversely, they automatically open at lower speeds, when climbing or hauling a trailer, improving cooling. When appropriate, the upper grille closes to redirect airflow over the hood, further decreasing aerodynamic drag. The outside mirrors are also designed for minimum aerodynamic drag, as are the taillights. Finally, heretofore found only on luxury cars, the malibu has underbody panels that create smooth airflow and reduce drag beneath the car. Chevrolet estimates the malibu's coefficient of drag at a very low 0. 30. First rate. the malibu's nose is high in order to meet current european safety standards for pedestrian impact. The idea is for the nose to collapse progressively but not so completely as to direct the pedestrian at the engine's solid cylinder head. the muscular malibu's nose flows nicely rearward without an excess of character lines, ending in a concisely modeled tail that is somehow volvo-like. Chrome highlights the side-window frames, brightening the profile, which is punctuated by wide door cuts for easy ingress and egress. the trunk is opened with a button in the center-high-mounted-stoplight or the key fob and has a high lift-over. Space is severely encroached upon by the battery pack for the engine's e-assist system. The trunk is, by far, the smallest in its class. interiorthe first impression of the malibu's interior requires but one word: lavish. It's downright un-chevrolet. The dashboard and trim are dynamic and modern, with a strongly contrasting dark boomerang of soft-touch dark leather arranged against a broad sable background, the dark leather framing all the functional controls and hardware. Flashes of chrome highlight the door handles and window controls, console and gearshift, but the center stack is framed in understated earth tones.
