An award-winning vehicle with taut proportions, elegant lines and a crisp, clean profile," according to Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu is a stylish, tech-packed, economical, and fun ride that anyone would love to have parked in their driveway. Available in LS, 1LT, 2LT, and LTZ trim levels, the 2011 Malibu comes powered by either a 2.4-liter ECOTEC 4-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) that puts out 169 horsepower and 160 pound-feet of torque or an available 3.6-liter ECOTEC V6 engine with dual overhead camshafts and VVT that generates 252 horsepower and more torque than one might expect. A six-speed automatic transmission with TAPshift controls for manual shifting fun comes standard on all trim levels. Combining all this equipment together allows drivers to achieve excellent fuel economy: 17 city/26 highway on the V6 and 22 city/33 highway on the 4-cylinder, better highway fuel economy than a Toyota Camry that allows it to travel up to 528 highway miles on a single tank of gas.
Relax on those long drives with the help of automatic climate control and heated power front seats clothed in two-tone leather with accent piping. Make and take phone calls with just a push of a steering-wheel-mounted button with Bluetooth wireless technology. Enjoy a quieter ride thanks to acoustic laminated glass and liquid-applied sound deadeners. Take in the sunlight with the power tilt/sliding sunroof. Get where you need to go with OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation or with the help of eNav at MapQuest.com, which lets you send directions to your destination to your Malibu before you leave the house. Bop to all your favorite music on the AM/FM/CD sound system with MP3 playback and auxiliary audio input jack or tune into hours of commercial-free music, sports, talk and news, comedy, and more courtesy of XM Radio. Or you can really go for the full concert experience when you upgrade to the eight-speaker Bose premium sound system with six channels of custom equalization and a USB port for your portable music player or music-loaded flash drive. Other features/options include LED clear lens taillights, projector-beam fog lights, remote vehicle starter system, auto-dimming rearview mirror with 8-point compass, chrome exhaust tip, heated power body-color side mirrors, chrome surround grille, Interface Package, remote keyless entry, Driver Information Center, and rear spoiler.
Named a "Top Safety Pick" in 2010 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an award unequaled by the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, the 2011 Malibu features OnStar with Automatic Crash Response so you can get help in the event of a crash.

Other safety equipment includes 6 airbags, StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System, a progressive crush front body structure, four-wheel antilock brakes, Tire Pressure Monitor, rear door child security lockout, daytime running lights, vehicle anti-theft system, and more.
