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.
