About 2016 Chevrolet Malibu The Chevrolet Malibu has remained an enduring classic among its peers since it was introduced more than 50 years ago. Now, the quintessential midsize sedan boldly steps into the future with an all-new 2016 model, completely restyled and engineered to offer more efficiency, connectivity, and advanced safety features than ever. The 2016 Malibu reaches an exceptional level of fuel efficiency with an all-new hybrid powertrain that uses technology from the Chevrolet Volt. The hybrid returns an estimated 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway - and 47 mpg combined, which is unsurpassed in the segment. An all-new, Ecotec 1.5L turbo serves as the standard engine in the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, offering an estimated 37 mpg on the highway. It is part of a new global family of small-displacement gas engines designed with greater power density to deliver confident performance with excellent efficiency. Longer and lighter, the new Malibu also offers more interior space. Its wheelbase has been stretched close to 4 inches, and it is nearly 300 pounds lighter than the previous model. Malibu's 7-inch MyLink infotainment system gives owners a smart and simple way to access Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The 8-inch version of MyLink will be compatible with Apple CarPlay at the beginning of the 2016 model year. With it, many features can be controlled via voice commands through a button on the steering wheel, helping drivers spend more time with eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
