Standard Malibu features include: six air bags, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with traction control, On-Star with Turn-by-Turn Navigation, air conditioning and XM Satellite Radio.

Other highlights of the redesigned 2008 Chevy Malibu include:

All-new refined and contemporary exterior with a new grille design and heritage-inspired twin round taillamps

Upscale interior design with a choice of cloth, suede and leather inside; available two-tone cockpit in a number of color combinations; gauges with Chevrolet blue LED backlighting

Ambient lighting in areas such as the overhead console and door-pull pockets for a more inviting cabin

Standard four-wheel independent suspension for a more controlled and confident driving experience

One of the segment’s quietest, most refined driving experiences, thanks to noise-reducing materials such as a liquid spray-on sound deadener, laminated steel, laminated “quiet glass” and composite wheel liners

Standard theft-deterrent system for vehicle and contents

Remote vehicle starting (standard on 2LT and LTZ; available on 1LT) and standard universal home remote on 2LT and LTZ

TAPshift manual shift control, available on 2LT and standard on LTZ

Sixteen-inch standard wheels on LS and an available family of large wheels, including 18-inch ultra-bright aluminum polished wheels available on 2LT and standard on LTZ

Available rear power center includes 110-volt AC adapter with three-prong outlet on 1LT, 2LT and LTZ (included and available only with Rear Power Package)

Available sunroof on LT and LTZ models

Premium eight-speaker, 210-watt sound system standard on LTZ and available on 2LT.

Standard tire-pressure monitoring system

“When we debuted Malibu at the North American International Auto show in January, we promised that its $40,000 looks would cost half as much,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. “Well, we’ve kept our word. Customers will see everything we’ve packed into a sedan starting under $20 grand and think there’s a typo on the sticker.

We strive to offer the best value in every segment where we compete, and midsize cars are not different,” Peper said. “For example, the Chevy Impala has been one of the biggest success stories in this industry during the past two years, gaining more than two points of market share. Now, combined with Malibu, this gives us a solid one-two punch in midsize cars and puts Chevy back into the car game in a big way.”
