From pg. 1 way/combined. A higher output turbo 2.0-litre with 250 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque is mated to a new eight-speed au- tomatic, the first time an eight- speed has been used on a GM front-drive vehicle. Consumption is rated at 10.6/7.1/9.0L/100 km. The third variant is the Hybrid with new 1.8-litre turbo and two- motor drive unit derived from the Volt. With an 80-cell, 1.5 kW lith- ium-ion battery, the Hybrid can reach 88 km/h (55 mph) on elec- tricity alone. Above that speed the engine kicks in automatically. With a combined 182 hp, the Hybrid's fuel numbers are an esti- mated 4.9/5.2/5.0L/100 km which, when the final numbers are in, could set the bar for the segment. The Hybrid is also the first Chevrolet to employ Exhaust Gas Heat Recovery (EGHR), which uses the heat from the exhaust sys- tem to warm the engine and cabin. It also aids engine startup and fuel flow in cold weather. The first thing you'll notice about the 2016 Malibu, besides size, is the styling that's reminis- cent of the Impala. There are three clever cue lines, one of which starts just aft of the headlights and continues to rise along the shoulder line to the rear where it blends in with a sharply descending rear window and short overhang rear valance. The hood and cowl are lower than the 2015 model, improving aerodynamics. Further enhancing airflow are active grilled shutters on some models. Inside, the new Malibu feels as big as the Impala and I'll bet it's close. What I liked was analog main instrumentation coupled with a digital 4.5-in in driver infor- mation display. If you include the optional 8.0-in centre stack, that's 12.5-in of screen. An interesting feature is called Teen Driver. With the 8.0-in My- Link infotainment system, it lets parents restrict certain vehicle functions to support safer driv- ing and to view their kids' driving statistics such as maximum speed, warning alerts and more. OnStar's 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot is standard on all models with a three-month/3GB data trial (whichever comes first). Android Auto and Apply CarPlay are also part of the mix.
