The Mid-size sedan is a vehicle that definitely has a sweet spot in the market for the customers we see here at Mid-Missouri Powerhouse. A freshened exterior design, improved technology, and a new trim level are all additives that will be seen on this year's model, as well as a chrome bar that splits the grille into two pieces. Redesigned headlights, new rear taillights, and a new valence that pushes the exhaust outlets towards the corners are all features that help greatly with accentuating the car's width, and a new RS model adds cues such as a black grille, black bowtie emblem, rear spoiler, 18-inch machined wheels, and dual-exhaust outlet.
When you have everyone packed up and are on the go, there's nothing as rewarding as being able to offer prime entertainment and navigation options for your passengers: the Chevy infotainment 3 with new, standard 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen radio and newly available navigation radio is on board standing by to kick out the jams and more! Rear-vision camera is included on the Malibu L trim, and the Malibu Premier trim provides cold-weather ready rear heated outboard seats. The CVT transmission is available on models with the 1.5L Turbo engine, and heated leather-trimmed front seats are standard on Premier, and available on LT and Hybrid.
Onstar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot is standard on LS, RS, and LT trims, and includes a 3-month 3GB data trial. Ask us to show you how you'll enjoy Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone projection capability, which is standard on LS, RS, LT, Hybrid, and Premier. The Teen Driver feature is quite simply one of the most exciting things to happen to the auto industry within the last decade: it helps you thoroughly coach your new driver, even when you're not there! It mutes audio until front-seat occupants are buckled, and automatically turns on life-saving technologies such as Side Blind Zone Alert, Forward Collision Alert, and Forward Automatic Braking. It's easy to set up: you simply enter a PIN to access the Teen Driver menu through the available Chevrolet MyLink display, and register a key.
With the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord completely redesigned for this past year, as well as a new 2019 Nissan Altima on the way, all of us here on deck at the Powerhouse are confident that these updates to the Malibu will keep it more than competitive enough to rival moxie! Available wireless charging and dual rear-seat USB ports, as well as a 110V power outlet, are available on LT and Hybrid, and standard on Premier.
You'll want to check out all of the great reasons to incorporate the Driver Confidence Package II on your new Malibu: it is available on Premier and includes: Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking, and IntelliBeam automatic high-beam control. This is the car for 2019 that Motortrend claims “offers up excellent ride comfort”, making it a prime choice for long drives, or a well-versed daily commuter.
