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.

Awsome Value, Impressive Looks - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid
By hilehoffer - January 16 - 6:53 amI just purchased the Malibu Hybrid this week. I love it. It is a mild hybrid, and it drives similar to the regular 4 cyl model. The differences are the engine turns off at a full stop, the engine instantly resumes when you lift your foot off the brake. The car uses regenerative braking and when you take your foot off the gas while cruising the car will slow and the batteries will charge. To coast without slowing down, just leave your foot lightly resting on the accelerator. There is a hump in the back of the trunk where the battery is. I am averaging over 30mpg, this is real good for a large sedan. This car drives like it should cost a lot more than the 22K I paid!
