The Three Best Attributes of the 2016 Chevy Malibu
There are so many good things to say about the 2016 Chevy Malibu, it’s hard to limit the car’s “best attributes” to three. Not only is the vehicle dependable and trustworthy, but it’s also got a very reasonable price tag. Believe it or not, those two characteristics didn’t make our cut!

Safety Features
The Malibu comes with a number of innovative safety features, making it a popular choice among first-time drivers. Now, we’re not talking about antilock brakes or multiple airbags (in fact, the Malibu has 10 air bags, assisted by a 360-degree sensor that monitors the severity of an impact and adjusts the inflation). Instead, we’re referring to technology like the Lane Keep Assist, which prevents you from unintentionally drifting into another lane. There’s also the Rear Cross Traffic Alert (which alerts you via the rear vision camera of any fellow drivers who may have snuck behind) and the Forward Collision Alert (which helps anticipate a potential accident).
Chevy is also rolling out their Teen Driver technology, which the company says “encourages safe driving habits for new drivers.” The system does a number of things to keep these young drivers focused on the road. For instance, the audio will mute when passengers aren’t wearing seatbelts, and the car will also alert the drive via audible and visual warning when they’re driving too fast.
If anything does happen, OnStar is notified immediately, and they’ll determine whether emergency services need to be dispatched. If you don’t respond, the system can still use your vehicle’s GPS to figure out your exact location.
Fuel Efficiency
The hybrid’s 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine can deliver an incredible 48 city mile per gallon and 37 highway mile per gallon fuel efficiency, which are some of the best specs in the class. It was an apparent priority of the brand to knock fuel efficiency out of the park, and the numbers top those of the Ford Fusion Hybrid (42 combined mpg) and Camry (41 mpg).
Technology
Besides the innovative safety features, there are also a number of interior amenities that will improve your driving experience. The reported add-ons include a six-speaker audio system (which is supplemented by an eight-inch MyLink Infotainment system), and there’s also the option for ventilated front seats, navigation and adaptive cruise control.
If the 2016 model ends up having a price tag that resembles the 2015’s MSRP of $22,465, you’ll be receiving quite the bargain. You expect to see these types of features on vehicles that are at least $10,000 more, making the Malibu a heck of a deal.
The Malibu is expected to hit car lots in the next few months. In the meantime, head down to Miami Lakes Automall and check out their current selection of Chevys. You may be convinced to opt for one of the brand’s many other dependable vehicles.
