iviiiAA wagon siaoie mate, for the North American debut of its new worldwide platform known as Epsilon. The Malibu arrives with an architecture that is already in use on the 2003 Saab 9-3 and the Opel Vectra currently sold, in Europe.
Why should you care about the Epsilon? GM says it is a stiffer, firmer and better-handling platform than what previous Malibus were based on. At its core, it is intended to give the Malibu a European-style ride.
But the new mid-size four-door sedan is more than the sum of its parts. It's all about different parts that work better for the buyer. General Motors says the Malibu delivers the “comfort and style of tailored-to-fit clothing for an-off-the-rack price.” The only difference? This is a one-size-fits-all approach. Chevy makes it easy.
With an overall package that adapts to needs that can change from day to day. the new Malibu has a lot going for it. There's a 1 split-folding rear seat and fold-flat front passenger seat that allow a wide variety of cargo to be transported.
Chevy has also used what it terms as a “personalized-fit package.” allowing drivers of all sizes to tailor the position of the seat, steering wheel and pedals to their comfort. Since everyone is built a little differently, it makes sense.
The combination of a power driver's seat with a height adjuster, a tilt steering wheel and power adjustable pedals are available on all models — a first for its class. Another first is a remote starter than can fire the engine from 200 feet away.
