GM Authority Features New Shadow Gray Metallic Color For 2019 Chevy Malibu

Recognized by the greats in car journalism as “coming with underhood hardware that has great fanfare,” the 2019 Chevy Malibu offers three of the most sought-after features that a car can possess. A restyled grille, new RS model, and all-new continuously variable automatic transmission are all on board for the Malibu now. A simulated shift program with seven ratios changes without any issues when the engine speed hits 5500 rpm and the revs can be dropped manually with the button on top of the gearshift lever. Car and Driver claimed that “There are some conventional automatics that could take behavior lessons from GM's CVT,” and now this exciting new offering from all of us at O'Rielly Chevy is providing three new exterior colors to choose from.

The GM Authority blog was excitedly doling out the news about the Shadow Gray Hue last week: Assigned the color code GJI and touch-up paint code WA-626D, it is the gray choice that sits opposed the Silver Ice Metallic variety. It is included in the base price of the 2019 Malibu, and available in conjunction with all interior color combinations and trim levels except for L models. This is currently our second-largest sedan, poised above the subcompact Chevy Sonic, and under the full-size Impala. Distinguished and Decadent just as a fine-tailored suit, the 2019 Malibu is bound to appear as sleek and stylish ever under the cloak of this well-stated yet lucid color.

Official fuel economy for this past year's Malibu was ranked at 27 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. Make sure you inquire about the Premier trim: it gives you the more powerful 2.0-liter engine generating 250 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque, as well as a nine-speed automatic transmission. The testing staff on duty at Cnet.com Roadshow claimed that the Malibu has a “perfectly compliant ride,” and enough damping to easily smooth out any small ruts and bumps you encounter during highway driving. Outside picturesque Seattle on tree-lined roads, writer Steven Ewing called the Malibu “effortless, and pleasant to drive” while seeing how it behaved in the most open of spaces.

The brand new Infotainment 3 setup finds its way into the Malibu for the 2019 model, sporting an 8-inch touchscreen standard across all trim levels. It's a very high-res display with neatly organized and easy-to-find icons, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming standard. 15.8 cubic feet of cargo space is present in the trunk to accommodate any amount of luggage, and the RS features super-cool 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, dual exhaust ports, and blacked-out badges. Everyone here at O'Rielly is aware of the massive shift that has taken place steering folks towards crossover SUVs and trucks: there are many positive attributes of an able and sturdy hauling machine.

If a sedan is the perfect vehicle for your lifestyle, we guarantee that the car Autotrader called “Sophisticated, refined, and efficient” will be sure to ring in your New Year's with the confidence of a choice perfect for you. Don't forget to look into the hybrid version: it pairs a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined power rating of 182 horsepower. One of our favorite features is the very defined and muscular front end of the Malibu: as soon as it pulled onto the lot, we immediately deemed it beyond cool and confident! The base L model comes equipped with cruise control, automatic headlamps, and backup camera, and we are confident that you will agree competitors Honda Accord and Toyota Camry don't quite cross the finish line in terms of quality and resilience.
