Technical Specifications
The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-size sedan that impresses with its powerful performance and advanced features. It offers a spacious interior, comfortable ride, and a wide range of options to suit different preferences and needs.
Under the hood, the Malibu comes with three different engine options. The base engine is a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 that produces 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. It provides a smooth and efficient ride, with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 27 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.
For those seeking more power, there is an available 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine that delivers an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Despite its greater power, this engine still maintains good fuel efficiency, with an estimated mileage of 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.
The third engine option is the Malibu Hybrid, which pairs a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor. Together, they produce a combined 182 horsepower and achieve an estimated fuel efficiency of 49 mpg in the city and 43 mpg on the highway.
When it comes to transmission, buyers have a choice between a 6-speed automatic and a 9-speed automatic, depending on the engine selection. The Malibu also offers a responsive and smooth handling experience, thanks to its well-tuned suspension and precise steering.
Modifications
The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu provides a plethora of modifications and options to enhance the driving experience and cater to individual preferences.
One popular modification choice is the addition of advanced safety features. These include forward collision alert, pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, rear cross traffic alert, and blind spot monitoring. These features provide an extra level of protection and peace of mind for both the driver and passengers.
Another modification option is the upgrade to a larger touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. This allows for seamless integration of smartphones and access to music, maps, and other apps on the go.

Trim Levels

Design and Handling
The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu boasts an elegant and modern design that catches the eye. Its sleek lines, aggressive front grille, and distinctive headlights give it a stylish and sophisticated appearance.
Inside the cabin, the Malibu offers a spacious and comfortable environment. The materials used are of high quality, and the design is both refined and ergonomic. The seats provide ample support and cushioning, ensuring a pleasant driving experience even on long journeys.
When it comes to handling, the Malibu delivers a smooth and composed ride. Its suspension is designed to absorb bumps and road imperfections, resulting in a comfortable and stable driving experience. The steering is precise and responsive, allowing for easy maneuverability in tight spaces.
In terms of the two generations of the Malibu produced in 2018, the key difference lies in their exterior styling. The first generation features a more conservative and traditional design, while the second generation adopts a more aggressive and modern look. Additionally, the second-generation Malibu offers a more refined interior with upgraded materials and enhanced technology features compared to the first generation.
In conclusion, the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu is an excellent choice for those seeking a mid-size sedan with strong performance, advanced features, and stylish design. With its various engine options, trim levels, and modification possibilities, buyers can customize the Malibu to meet their specific needs and preferences.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
