2016 Malibu Hybrid Wins Connected Green Car of the Year

Green Car Journal chooses Chevy Malibu Hybrid based on fuel economy, available technology

It has yet to show up at our central Missouri Chevrolet dealer, but the 2016 Chevy Malibu Hybrid already has an impressive award under its belt. The all-new 2016 Chevy Malibu Hybrid earned Green Car Journal’s 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year. Chevy beat out brands such as Audi and BMW for the honors.

"When you put the customer at the center of everything you do, you provide vehicles that enable the things customers are most looking for today, which is efficiency, connectivity, and more," Steve Majoros, Chevrolet marketing director, said. "... we're proud of what the all-new 2016 Malibu Hybrid delivers and equally proud of our second recognition from Green Car Journal this year."

Borrowing from the Volt powertrain, the Malibu Hybrid is estimated to reach up to 47 mpg combined. However, the new Malibu Hybrid is about more than just great fuel efficiency. Green Car Journal awarded the Malibu Hybrid its latest award based on the class-leading technology that is available for Jefferson City Chevrolet fans.

Let’s start with the latest first. The newest addition to Chevrolet’s plethora of technology is the smartphone integration. With Apple CarPlay, you can integrated your iPhone with your Malibu Hybrid and use approved apps such as navigation, music apps and getting text message read aloud.

Back and better than ever is the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi. Not only will your Malibu save on gas, but your Chevy will become a mobile hotspot. You can connect up to seven devices to the Internet at once, making the Malibu Hybrid a great choice for a road trip sedan, family vehicle or both!

Safety features on the Malibu Hybrid include, but are not limited to, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control and the new Teen Driving mode which allows you to pre-set functions and controls for your new teen drivers.
