The Chevy Malibu is a mid-sized car made by General Motors. This car was made from 1964 to 1983 and then came back into production from 1997 on. This car has a sleek, eye-catching exterior. However, when deciding on a car, more than just the exterior appearance of the car needs to be taken into account. Getting answers to commonly asked questions about the Malibu can help someone determine if it is the right car for them. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about the 2017 Chevy Malibu.
The 2017 Chevy Malibu LS is the basic model. It is a step above the L model, which does not have any of the add on features, only the most basic features for this car. The LS has very minimal add-on features. The LT model includes the technology and convenience package, giving people many of the add-ons that they want in a car. The hybrid model has a different engine than the two and is a hybrid car, rather than a gas only vehicle.
The 2017 Chevy Malibu is a mid-sized sedan. This means that it has seating for up to five people. Two people can sit in the front seats and up to three can fit in the back seats. Most mid-sized sedans are designed to comfortably seat two adults in the backseat with the middle space being designed to fit a child or below average-sized adult. You typically cannot comfortably seat five adults in this size of car.
One of the benefits that sets this car apart from other mid-sized sedans is the spacious amount of headroom. This is ideal for tall people who often have little to no head room in these types of cars. Secondly, while this car is not classified as a sports car, it does have many elements that give it a sporty edge. Its body has been redesigned with a more sporty look, a spoiler can be added to make it more aerodynamic and it has sporty handling around curves and turns.
When considering which car to buy, most people have a budget to stick to. However, there are many factors that affect how much you will ultimately pay for a vehicle. Below are the manufacturer's recommended selling price for each model of vehicle. People may pay more or less for the car, but this is a good starting point for determining approximately how much a car will cost. The base model, or L model has an MSRP of $21,680. The basic, or LS model, has an MSRP of $24,115. The well-equipped, or LT model, has an MSRP of $26,015. And the loaded, or hybrid model, has an MSRP of $28,765.
There are two big drawbacks to the 2017 Chevy Malibu. The first is that it is slow to accelerate. If someone is looking for a car that they can hit the gas pedal on and speed up quickly, this is not it. Secondly, many people feel that the base model of the car, or the L version, is seriously lacking in features compared to other base models for competitor mid-sized sedans. This is why it is so important to compare different makes and models to find the right one for your budget.
There are so many factors that affect the number of miles a car will get. This includes the conditions where a person lives and is driving and the features they have selected in their car. The 2017 Chevy Malibu can get up to 27 miles per gallon for city driving and up to 36 miles per gallon for highway driving. Their website will give MPG estimates based on specific add-ons and car features for those looking for more specific numbers.
The 2017 Chevy Malibu has many safety features. It has 10 airbags throughout the car, daytime running lamps, braking control, LATCH systems for car seats, and OnStar standard in all models of their vehicles. Certain models also come with rear cameras and automatic braking.
The 2017 Chevy Malibu LS and LT models have 15.8 cubic feet of trunk space. This is right around the average for mid-sized sedans. This will hold approximately two to three pieces of luggage for size comparison. The Hybrid version of the car has less trunk space, but this is normal with any Hybrid vehicle as the battery is in the back of the car. Once again, the amount of space is right at the average mark for this model of vehicle as well.
