Malibu delivers unexpected performance to Middle East customers
The all- new 2017 Chevrolet Malibu has remained an enduring classic among its peers since it was introduced more than 50 years ago.
Now, its ninth generation, the 2017 Malibu, offers customers two power options — a 2.5L and the all-new 2.0L turbocharged engine that is now available in the Middle East.
The 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 250 turbocharged horsepower ( 186 kW) and leads its segment in fuel efficiency with 14.2 km/ L.
Stronger and lighter, the new Malibu delivers a more dynamically optimized ride and handling, two aspects that are complemented by the power and performance of the 250hp capable 2.0L turbo 4- cylinder engine.
Acceleration from standstill happens effortlessly thanks to the 350Nm of torque, majority of which are available early on in the acceleration phase thanks to the powertrain’s advanced turbo technology.
The Malibu’s stylish exterior stands out with details that subtly invoke its unexpected performance, such as dual exhaust chrome tips, as well as standard auto diming mirrors.
The turbocharged engine will be available in LT and LTZ trim with 10- spoke alloy wheels in 17- or 18- inch rims.
Inside the 2017 Malibu, driver and passengers are cosseted with comfortable cloth or leather seating and segment- leading cargo space, cooled front seats as well as dual- zone climate control.
Additionally, drivers can spend more time with eyes on the road and hands on the wheel thanks to Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment sys- tem which gives owners a simple and intuitive interface to control various elements including but not limited to audio, navigation ( if equipped), comfort settings and more, most of which are accessible from the steering mounted buttons or voice command.
Chevrolet customers will receive Chevrolet Complete Care as standard. The comprehensive aftersales package promises additional value with competitive and transparent maintenance pricing; one- hour servicing; two days advanced booking; a regional three- year/ 100,000- km warranty; and four years of regional 24x7 roadside assistance.
The 2017 Malibu with the 2.0L turbocharged engine is now on sale in Saudi Arabia at Al Jomaih Automotive Company and Universal Motors Agencies Chevrolet showrooms.
