8 WHEELS April 21 2011 ! g a J g a W e DoTh Malibu goes global The all-new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu made its global debut Monday, with simultaneous introductions in the United States, Canada and China-- three of the nearly 100 countries on six continents where it will be sold. Chevrolet's first global midsize sedan will provide customers from Shanghai to New York and Sydney to Toronto with expressive design, advanced technologies, ride performance and fuel-efficient powertrains. A wider stance, broad shoulders and an integrated rear spoiler bring a new athleticism to Malibu and give it a more aggressive appearance. The new Malibu has a 114 mm (4.5inch) shorter wheelbase and 1,574 mm (62-inch) front and rear tracks that are more than 51 mm (2 inches) wider than the model it replaces. Other exterior design cues include Chevrolet's dual-port grille, projector HID headlamps, larger Chevrolet bow-tie badges front and rear, and new Camaroinspired LED dual-element taillamps. The new Malibu exterior is anticipated to be SAE-certified as one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars in the segment, with a coefficient of drag (Cd) rating near Chevrolet Volt's Cd of .280. Because of Malibu's new shape and design, engineers were able to remove 60 counts of wind drag compared to the model it replaces. Malibu will include Chevrolet's new MyLink infotainment package at launch. www.wagjag.com Buy together and we all win! It builds on the safety and security of OnStar and seamlessly integrates various online services. An all-new Ecotec 2.5-litre dual overhead cam, four-cylinder engine with direct injection leads Malibu's engine lineup in North America. It is expected to be one of the most efficient of its size in the market. New features include enhanced authority continuously variable valve timing, variable-displacement oil pump and electronic thermostat that save fuel, while delivering V6-like performance. It is estimated the engine will be SAEcertified at more than 190 hp and 180 lb/ ft of torque. The 2.5L is mated to a Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic with features designed to enhance powertrain efficiency. They include changes to clutch controls and hardware that improves shift response and time. These changes enabled engineers to specify higher gearing to improve cruising efficiency while maintaining acceleration performance and driveability. --Metroland Media Carguide Magazine N A H T E R O M JUST SS A L G O T U A ·Truck Accessories · Upholstery · Heavy Equipment Glass · All Insurance Claims · Window Tinting 354 Guelph Street, Georgetown 905-873-1655
