The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will be almost 300 pounds lighter than previous models, making it the lightest in the midsize sedan segment. The lighter Malibu will mean better fuel efficiency and an improved driving experience. Chevrolet focused on five main areas to reduce vehicle weight:
- Lighter, stronger body structure
- Greater use of aluminum
- Streamlined instrument panel assembly and lighter power accessories
- Lighter leather seats and other soft materials
- Lighter engine
The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu goes on sale later in 2015 and will be offered in four trim levels: L, LS, LT, and Premier. There will also be an available Hybrid model.
