For 2012, the Chevrolet Malibu is offered in three well-equipped trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ -- all with a standard, fuel-efficient, four-cylinder 2.4L Ecotec engine and six-speed transmission that deliver 33 mpg highway. A 252-horsepower 3.6L V-6 is the standard engine on new 3LT and 2LZ equipment groups.

The Malibu features a strong stance and bold proportions that reinforce its substantial feel. The Malibu exterior has clean, pure lines and wheels pushed to the corners, as well as a visually lower, yet longer, greenhouse and a shorter deck.

Clean and elegant body sides are interrupted only by distinctive, wheel-oriented forms that suggest an aggressive, stable stance. A rear profile with Corvette cues evokes Chevrolet's performance heritage.

The interior's attention to detail matches the Malibu's exterior, with an ergonomic design using premium materials that convey quality and value. An integrated, flowing instrument panel features a Chevrolet-signature dual-cockpit design, with prominent gauges backlit in blue, and metallic or wood grain accents.

Standard on all 2012 Chevrolet Malibu models are four-wheel anti-lock brakes; StabiliTrak electronic stability control; six standard airbags; AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 playback; SiriusXM Satellite Radio with trial subscription; OnStar 9.0 with six months of Directions and Connections service and Turn-by-Turn Navigation; power height driver seat adjuster with power lumbar; Remote Keyless Entry and cruise control.
