Overview & Reviews

Like the regular Chevrolet Malibu, the hybrid version is all-new for 2008.

• Stylish inside and out, comfortable seats, good fit and finish, smooth ride, hushed cabin.

• Electric motor provides negligible fuel economy benefits, mediocre acceleration, hit-or-miss cabin materials, no rear center armrest, lifeless steering, high emissions rating for a hybrid car.

  Good Car - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid
  By mtbiker06 - October 1 - 9:53 am

  Ive had this car for almost two years now. It is a great quality car with only a few minor problems. The a/c fan has a ticking sound. (but Ive had this problem with every GM car that I have owned). Some of the trim seems to be coming loose around the edges. Also, the hybrid batteries had to be replaced already, but it has an eight year warranty on hybrid parts. I will get anywhere between 25 mpg in the city to 36 mpg on the highway (all highway driving at 60 mph though) The car drives very smoothly and handles great. The acceleration leaves a lot to be desired though. I do wish the hybrid system was a full hybrid.
