2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco

The all-new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco adds a dose of flavor - and efficiency - to the midsize sedan segment. It has class-challenging ride and handling characteristics; a new, sporty design; new premium interior that's roomy, comfortable and quiet; and it has better fuel economy than any non-hybrid midsize sedan - a GM-estimated 37 mpg on the highway.

2013 Malibu Evo: First Chevrolet with Fuel-Saving eAssist Technology

The Malibu Eco is the first model of the all-new 2013 Malibu lineup to reach dealer showrooms in North America, starting in the first quarter of 2012. It has an MSRP of $25,995, including a $760 destination charge. The new Malibu is Chevrolet's first global midsize sedan and will be sold in nearly 100 countries on six continents.

"The Malibu Eco is a smart choice for customers who want a great looking car inside and out with excellent fuel economy, but without the higher price of some hybrid sedans," said Russ Clark, director of Chevrolet marketing. "In short, it's an incredible value."

The exterior of the Eco - and all Malibu models - has a coupe-like silhouette and carries design DNA from Camaro to bring a sporty sensibility to the family sedan segment.

A wide stance, broad shoulders, a powerdome hood and an integrated rear spoiler bring a new athleticism to Malibu and give it a more aggressive, planted and sporty appearance. The new Malibu has a 4.5-inch (114 mm) shorter wheelbase and 62-inch (1,574 mm) front and rear tracks that are more than 2 inches (51 mm) wider than the model it replaces.

Malibu Eco exterior design cues also include Chevrolet's dual-port grille, large swept-back projector HID headlamps with three-dimensional execution, larger Chevrolet bowtie badges front and rear, taillamps inspired by the Camaro and a single hidden exhaust outlet. The look is complemented by standard 17-inch alloy wheels and low-rolling-resistance Goodyear tires.

An aerodynamically optimized design and smart use of fuel-saving technologies helps the Malibu Eco be Chevy's most fuel-efficient midsize ever, as engineers removed about 60 counts of wind drag from the 2013 Malibu's design, compared to its predecessor.

Malibu Eco is among the first vehicles in the midsize segment with a standard fuel-saving, active shutter system. Located in the lower grille, the Malibu Eco's active shutter system automatically closes airflow through the lower intake opening when air intake is least needed. When closed, the shutter system enhances aero performance by redirecting airflow around the front of the vehicle and down the sides, rather than through it. The shutter is open or closed based on engine coolant temperature and speed. For example, the shutters open when the car is traveling up a hill, pulling a trailer, or in hot city driving; the shutters close at highway speeds when less engine cooling is required.
