Overview & Reviews

For 2014, the Chevrolet Malibu receives a variety of upgrades. Inside, you'll find added rear-seat legroom and a new center console with more storage. Outside, there's new front-end styling. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine receives various tweaks, including a stop-start system, that increase its combined fuel economy rating to match that of the mild-hybrid 2.4-liter Eco powertrain. Chevrolet will phase out the mild-hybrid Eco model early in the model year, but afterward, all Malibus with the 2.5-liter engine will wear an Eco badge. Chevy has also revised the optional turbocharged engine to produce 295 pound-feet of torque, a 35 lb-ft gain, and retuned the car's suspension for better ride and handling characteristics.

• High fuel economy from 2.4- and 2.5-liter engines
• Composed and comfortable ride
• Excellent crash test scores.
• Upscale interior design
• Strong turbocharged engine

• Less rear legroom than competitors
• Oddly shaped trunk space in the 2.4-liter Eco.
• Transmission makes 2.4-liter Eco model feel sluggish

  No Feul Economy - 2014 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Ali - January 7 - 10:05 pm

  The car consumes a lot and I have complained about it to GM several times but it was not useful. Although I drive most of the times on highways with a lot of care not to consume a lot the MPG is all the time around 25 which is a catastrophe. The quality and every this looks fine except the fuel economy. I also do not feel comfortable and safe drive on snowy weather and several times I was going to slid out of the road although I was driving with 30 miles per hour speed. The car also lacks a lot compared with its competing models even the basic models. Overall I believe the Chevy has done a perfect job with a lot of parts of the car, but I guess these issues pushes the car down the ranking chart.
