Debut in the 60's, it was name after a
coastal community in California
Sadly it's named however in the Philippines
as the butt of some jokes
as people like to add a G to the end
Sorry
Now on their latest generation, Chevrolet says it has
better fuel efficiency connectivity and safety features
more than ever before. Let's find out what they are going on about
In this, the 2018 Malibu
The HID's with Intellibeam are housed in a smaller frame
which compliments the smaller slats that are found
all over the front clip. Now, there is no large gap to speak of
to allow the air in but the four mentioned slats are equal to the task
Unique to the car, are the lights down here which are
your actually DRL's and too is the emblem, the very proud emblem
I should say because it is textured and ribbed
Sorry but it does feel very cool
Even the keys emblem has texture
Nitpick if I may there is just one aspect on the front clip
that I don't really appreciate
There's a line that can be found on the hood that stretches
all the way down pass the emblem and to the chin
How much does it bug me? Well, not that much
Down on the side you'll notice two lines that begin at the front doors
and slowly but surely taper as you get to the rear
Given the car a very streamlined, very fluidic look
Now the car does sit on 18-Inch mags fitted with 45 series tires
Now if you take that and combined it with this
beautiful fastback right here and this sharp departure angle
it does make for a very good looking stance
Now for some, the rear overhang might be much but
there is good reason for that
In fact, there is 447L of reasons, now it's not the largest capacity
in this class but it's certainly not the smallest
Space good enough that that can hold Professor Klump
However, getting him in that might be a problem through this
Renee Zellweger lips, kinda tight
Golf bags even two, not a problem. Medium sized suitcases
Not a problem however anything larger than that
You might need Steven Tyler lips and that's a completely different story
Oh! Worth mentioning, the two exhaust, tucked away very nicely in chrome. Very nice touch
Now the toys back here include 2 cupholders on the center armrest
You got 2 air vents right here, 2 USB charging ports and a 12V socket
There are also speakers on either door and 2 more speakers behind the passengers
Now that's 4 out of the 9 speakers in total inside the car
Now, the wheelbase of this car is actually 4-Inches longer
than the previous model which is checkout this legroom
It's ridonculous. There's enough space in here to fit
two large adults easily and even an average size adult in the center
Thanks to the low tunnel found in the ground
Safety? Yup! Apart from the standard airbags found upfront
There are also airbags found on the B pillars and either side of the rear seats
Not bad
The color scheme is the first thing that may not catch your attention
because it's pretty subdue really
its got grays and browns, very comfortable, very laid back
Now your 4 gauges upfront and your trip computer
along with the air controls are, well they're pretty adequate
as too are the buttons found on the steering wheel
different though in the fact that they're all the same height
covered by a thin rubber film so that it is non-slip that's pretty cool
You also got your dual pane sunroof and your 2 cupholders upfront
and loads of cubby spaces that you can put all your knick knacks
Including actually a very smart way to put your umbrella away
Now, not only are the front seats comfortable
because they can knock Vincent down in 5 minutes or less
but they can also accommodate much taller people
Now, you'd expect the driver to have power right
Well, the passenger seat has power too, in fact both of them can move
back and down to accommodate much taller people
and not only does the driver have lumbar support, so does the passenger
The lumbar support comes out so much that it can be like a basketball
at your back say put it at number four and it can retract all the way in
to the same number of wins that the Cavs have in the 2018 finals, which is zero
I'm gonna get flanked for that aren't they? Meh, it's the truth
The 8-Inch screen which also doubles as your reverse camera by the way
and is extremely clear I must add, also has the Mylink system which is a
breeze to use, in fact we find that it's one of the easier head units that we've ever had to test
On any of the units that we've gotten, it's really fun to use
and while you're using it, you can also charge your phone
with the wireless system down here, it might be difficult for bigger phones
such as a Note or anything larger than that, but the smaller wireless units, not a problem
The one thing that I have to add about this unit is that
The whole thing is integrated into dash very very well
it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb and that I gotta say
that I do love
Under the hood, there's only one engine variant available in the Philippines
which is an inline 4 2L Turbocharged gasoline engine
which produces 250horses and 353 Nm of Torque
in an executive sedan, not bad
but even with all that power, in and out of the dreaded weekend traffic of Metro Manila
The Malibu was still able to do 10km/l. Frugal
Apart of the ease of which Chevy's Mylink is just a joy to use
whether your an Apple user or an Android user and it also has 9 speakers
that's around the car which are all Bose, louder than kids on a Saturday morning
it also has the following technologies
Its got adaptive cruise, its got lane keep assist, emergency braking
and semi autonomous parking to name a few
Oh! And get this, there are also 12 sensors all around the car
so that even Catherine Zeta Jones could not escape these guys
The level of comfort driving Malibu is well, is pretty good
The steering is light yet it's not disconnected from the road
Yes, there are some cheap plastics that can be found all around the cabin
and the road noise does kinda creep up just a little bit
But it does not take away from the very comfortable leather seats
As a driver you have really very little to complain about
and even much less as a passenger
There are no paddle shifters to speak of, in fact it's a bit confusing
when you run your fingers down the back of the steering wheel
where you'll find audio controls
Now to manually change gears and provide you with a more sport feel
Pop the transmission into L which activates the plus minus selectors on the shifter
Fuel efficient? Check. Safety? Big check. Connectivity? Check
the Chevrolet Malibu LTZ is available at P2,131,888
Now it's a bit pricey yes I understand, not the cheapest thing out there
But it's also not the most executive sedan available in the Philippines
And you do have to consider that you do get a boatload of toys for the driver
Now, it does also gives us the consumers something that we do
very much appreciate, an option
And regardless of what I think about that line
Yeah, it's a good looking option
