Chevrolet Malibu
GM
has announced the prices of the ninth generation 2016 Chevrolet
Malibu for
Canada. At CA$ 21,745, the 2016 base model’s price is CA$ 3,495 lower than the
outgoing model. The 2016 Malibu will be offered in five trim levels – L, LS,
LT, Hybrid and Premier. Pricing for the Malibu Hybrid will be announced closer
to its production commencement in Spring 2016.
Built
completely from the ground up, the 2016 Malibu is larger but lighter. Thanks to
the 91 mm (3.6 inches) longer wheelbase, the rear legroom has been improved by
33 m (1.3 inches). The all-new model sees weight reduction of as much as 300
lbs (136 kg). GM says that the new generation Malibu is the “most
fuel-efficient, connected and technologically advanced” Malibu-ever.
