2013 Chevrolet Malibu

In a simultaneous world premiere at the New York Auto Show in USA and Sanghai Auto Show in China, the General Motors have decided to show the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. GM says to make this mid-size saloon as a global player and it has planned to sell nearly 100 countries with multiple locations in the world. The new Malibu gets 62-inch (1,574 mm) front and rear tracks that are more than 2 inches (51 mm) wider than before. GM claims that the 2013 Malibu offers nearly 4 cubic feet (113 L) of additional interior volume, along with increased front and rear shoulder and hip room, plus more than 1 cubic ft. of extra trunk space at 16.3 cu.ft (462 lt).

The new Malibu measures 191.3-in. (4,859mm) in length, 73.0-in. (1,854mm) in width and 57.6-in. (1,462mm) in height). This means the 2013 Malibu is 0.5-in. shorter, 3.0-in. wider and 0.5-in. taller than the current model. This new Chevy will contain 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine with direct-injection and a six-speed automatic transmission. GM also estimates the four-pot will deliver more than 190-horsepower and 180 lb.-ft. of torque (245 Nm). This 2013 Malibu comes in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels, with a choice of 10 exterior shades and four interior colors.

Production and U.S. sales will begin in the first quarter of 2012. The more details about this Malibu will release later on.
