The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu is offered in three well-equipped trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ -- all with a standard, fuel-efficient, 169-horsepower four-cylinder 2.4L engine and six-speed transmission that deliver 33 mpg highway. A 252-horsepower 3.6L V-6 is available on 2LT and LTZ models.

With its strong stance and bold proportions, the Malibu has a profile that reinforces its substantial feel. Clean, pure lines and wheels pushed to the corners, as well as a visually lower, yet longer, greenhouse and a shorter deck suggest motion, agility and attitude. The body sides are clean and elegant, interrupted only by distinctive, wheel-oriented forms that communicate an aggressive, stable stance and a rear profile with Corvette cues that connects to Chevrolet's rich performance heritage.

The interior's ergonomic design uses premium materials that convey quality and value. The integrated, flowing instrument panel features a Chevrolet-signature dual-cockpit design, with prominent gauges backlit in blue, and metallic or wood grain accents.

Malibu provides an exceptionally quiet environment. Along with the robust chassis, which minimizes vibration and noise, the body construction uses noise-reducing materials, laminated steel and composite wheel liners to deliver one the segment's quietest driving experiences.

Malibu comes with an AM/FM stereo system CD player with MP3 playback capability and XM Satellite Radio. Malibu is the only midsize car that offers standard navigation.
