Autoblog Doles out Great Words for 2019 Malibu: King of the Current Sedan Options




Customers coming to Orielly Chevy looking for their ultimate sedan option admittedly have a wide variety to choose from, and we have many reasons to guide them towards what we feel their best choice in the market is. The seasoned folks at Autoblog write that there are some “very real headwinds” facing the new Malibu's success and prowess, as crossover SUVs tend to dominate much of the landscape, and the most proper and fit of sedans are now really under pressure to offer the best in sensibility and features.
Turbocharge



The six-speed automatic is left behind for a completely reworked CVT, and the engine remains a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four. Much larger upper and lower openings are filled with a unique distorted-diamond mesh, and improvements recently made to the low-beam lighting force some elements to move down nicely, displaying less busy and loud brightwork at hand. In the rear, dual exhaust tips now poke out from a very heavily-revised lower fascia, now on hand to replace the tips that are tucked and hidden behind the previous Malibu's bumper skin.



Seasoned car writer Alex Kierstein claimed that the new Malibu does not feel terribly heavy during handling on many different road types, and the 1.5-liter engine works just fine here as the source of power. The delivery, ride, and power handling itself feels constantly able, firm, and exciting, while evoking a sense of accessibility and pleasant handling that you'll be eager to step into for your daily drive. The continuously variable transmission is destined to improve overall efficiency, and the damping easily smooths out the smaller of imperfections on the highway during the drive. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto now come standard for the Malibu, and all of the higher trim levels come with embedded navigation.



The Infotainment 3 is greatly improved upon last year's design to make commands and navigation much easier, and it's a very easy way to keep the drive supplied with necessary navigation and numerous entertainment options. You'll definitely want to take a close look at how space and many different types of new technology are great assets of the new Malibu, and how the weight of the car has shed 300 total pounds of curb weight. The real heart and soul of the RS trim exists within the ways in which it adds outright to the sporty vibe, providing cool extras like a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Backing out of the driveway is where many accidents happen, and we have seen study after study that claims how dangerous of a short little journey this is. This is where kids like to linger, and a rear vision backup camera that now comes standard will help the car receive a perfect safety rating from the NHTSA. Every time you hit the road in next year's Chevy Malibu, you can expect class-leading protection, and the Driver Confidence II Package adds forward collision warning, as well as front pedestrian braking. Sedans are still big business, even though front-running SUVs like our very own Equinox are becoming more popular every day. We hope you rank the new Malibu as high as we do for a new sedan: budget-friendly doesn't mean featureless, and definitely still means stealth and savvy!
