2016 Chinese Chevrolet Malibu Shows Face In Shanghai - GM Authority (blog)

While North America moves on from the eighth-generation Chevrolet Malibu to enjoy the ninth-generation 2016 Chevrolet Malibu , China receives a heavily reworked 2016 Malibu based on the current platform. Chevrolet says the new styling direction falls in line with the latest “Designed to raise your heartbeat” direction. Combating the limited rear-legroom problem, the 2016 Chinese Malibu has become longer in proportion with clever engineering. China can thank the Aussies for that, as much development on this 2016 Malibu was completed in Oz. Chevrolet calls the headlights up front “eagle eyed” in style, and flow into the signature Chevrolet dual-port grille. The dual-element tail-lamps in the rear are said to have been inspired by the first-generation Chevrolet Malibu. The 2016 Malibu’s engine offerings are familiar to Chinese buyers.
