On the outside, its youthful sophistication and classic, bold American style will prompt interest from just about anyone. A test-drive pretty much sums things up, thanks to Malibu's premium ride quality and impressive handling felt with both available engines -- a 2.4L I-4 with 164 horsepower or available 252 horsepower 3.6L V6. To top it all off, Malibu is designed to be one of the safest vehicles in the segment with great standard features like dual-stage front-seat air bags, front side thorax air bags, head curtain airbags, and a reinforced unibody with exceptional structural integrity. The all-new Malibu truly is a step forward from its predecessors and a new benchmark in quality, confidence, class and control for the midsize segment.
