'08 Chevrolet Malibu

Available in three variants, the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-size sedan by Chevy to counter similar foreign imports. Available in LS, 1LT and 2LT trim levels, the '08 Malibu features three different engine options.

There is a 252 hp V-6 six-speed automatic transmission engine in the top-end 2LT model and 1LT model (optional), a hybrid engine with a BAS system, and the basic 2.4 liter V-4 Ecotec engine for base LS models.

The car has been given a new look this year, with larger legroom, plush, new interiors, added safety features and excellent selection of optional add-ons that have given a new look to the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu.

This redesigned four-door front wheel drive has a wider wheelbase, a dual-port grille, new bow-tie emblem embedded headlights, a multi-link rear suspension, and a new dual-cowl dashboard with ambient lighting. This release makes it the best series of Malibu released so far. Safety features include ABS and airbags.
