Chevrolet Malibu Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2011–2014) — Eighth Generation
The eighth-generation Chevrolet Malibu is a front-wheel-drive sedan offered with a broad spread of powertrains, from everyday gasoline fours to diesel and hybrid options, matched with either a manual gearbox or an automatic.
Chevrolet Malibu engine choices cover very different driving habits. The 2.4 MT (Sedan; gasoline; manual; front-wheel drive) suits drivers who want direct control, while the 2.0 AT diesel automatic favours relaxed, economical highway work. The 2.4 AT hybrid adds electric assistance in stop-and-go traffic, and every drivetrain here drives the front wheels.
Sedan — Chevrolet Malibu Engines and Transmissions
Chevrolet Malibu trim levels sit on top of a technical version rather than replacing it. The 2.4 AT (Sedan; gasoline; automatic; front-wheel drive) is listed in LTZ form, generally the better-appointed choice in comfort and convenience features. When comparing cars, check the engine specification and the equipment name together.
