2016 Chevrolet Malibu Spy Photos: Ditchin' Camaro - Car and Driver
A new Malibu is due in late 2015. Official Photos and Info – 2016 Chevrolet Malibu The designers appear to have gotten the memo that the most recent Impala is good-looking, as there is a lot of that car’s styling baked into the 2016 Malibu. Starting with its proportions, the Malibu adopts a “four-door coupe”-ish swept roofline à la Ford Fusion and mixes it well with a long hood and clipped overhangs. The Malibu’s face is sleek, although from some angles, the severe horizontality of the headlights’ top edge lends the mug a droopy appearance. Overall, though, the crisp lines, body-side creases, and neat stance almost left us forgetting the old Malibu’s Play-Doh-squeezed-through-sadness look. It’s no accident that the Malibu looks longer and lower than the old car—Chevrolet stretched the wheelbase by 3. 6 inches, resulting in a nominal 2. 3-inch bump in overall length. The size increase really pays off inside, where there’s 1. 3 additional inches of rear-seat legroom back-seat passengers no longer need to fold themselves to enter and exit. Refreshingly, Chevy toned down the Malibu’s interior just enough to banish the old version’s cornucopia of materials and textures, but not so much as to leave the cabin. Source: www.caranddriver.com
