Vehicle Highlights
The 2010 Chevrolet Malibu lineup is revised, with the gas/electric Hybrid model no longer available for retail sale. This is the smaller of Chevy's two midsize sedans. It shares its basic design with the Pontiac G6, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3. LS, LT, and LTZ trim levels are largely unchanged. LS and LT have a 169-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, which is now capable of running on E85 ethanol-blended fuel. LS versions have a 4-speed automatic transmission while the LT and LTZ use a 6-speed automatic. LT and LTZ have an optional 252-hp 3.6-liter V6 that teams with the 6-speed automatic.
The 2010 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid is no longer available for retail sale, but it can be ordered for fleet deliveries. Available safety features on all Malibus include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. A wireless cell phone link, leather upholstery, and heated front seats are available.
