Power and Everyday Driving

The 1.5L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine was designed around everyday efficiency while still providing the responsive power needed for normal highway and city driving. Paired with the 6 speed automatic transmission, it gives the Malibu smooth performance for commuting, errands, highway travel, and longer trips.

Front Wheel Drive keeps the drivetrain straightforward and predictable, while the Malibu’s longer wheelbase and midsize sedan design give it a comfortable highway ride without making the car difficult to maneuver around town.

For buyers putting a lot of miles on their vehicle, this powertrain offers a useful balance between turbocharged response and fuel economy.

Convenience and Technology Package

The Convenience and Technology Package is one of the most valuable equipment upgrades on this Malibu because it adds both technology and everyday convenience features.

Package equipment includes:

• 8 inch Chevrolet MyLink touchscreen

• Apple CarPlay

• Android Auto

• Remote Vehicle Start

• Wireless phone charging

• Dual zone automatic climate control

• 120 volt power outlet

• Leather wrapped steering wheel

• Leather wrapped shift knob

• Driver information display upgrades

These features make a noticeable difference in everyday use. Remote start and dual zone climate control add comfort, while the larger touchscreen and smartphone integration give the Malibu technology that remains useful for modern drivers.

Interior and Comfort

The Jet Black interior gives this Malibu a clean and modern cabin with comfortable seating for up to five passengers. As a midsize sedan, it provides more rear passenger room than many smaller compact cars while maintaining an easy to drive overall size.

A power driver’s seat allows the driver to fine tune the seating position, while dual zone automatic climate control lets the driver and front passenger select separate temperature settings.

The trunk provides useful room for groceries, luggage, work supplies, and everyday cargo without sacrificing rear passenger space.

Technology and Phone Features

The 8 inch Chevrolet MyLink touchscreen is a major advantage of the Convenience and Technology Package.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow compatible smartphones to connect for maps, music, calls, messages, podcasts, and supported apps directly through the vehicle’s display.

The wireless charging pad provides another convenient way to keep a compatible phone charged without needing to plug in a cable. Bluetooth and USB connectivity provide additional options for phones and audio devices.

Safety and Driver Confidence

The Rear Vision Camera displays the area behind the Malibu while reversing, making it easier to back out of driveways and parking spaces.

StabiliTrak electronic stability control, traction control, four wheel anti lock brakes, tire pressure monitoring, and a comprehensive airbag system provide additional support during everyday driving.

The Malibu’s predictable Front Wheel Drive handling and comfortable driving position also make it approachable for commuters, newer drivers, and anyone looking for a straightforward everyday sedan.

Exterior and Utility

The Blue Velvet Metallic exterior gives this Malibu a deep blue finish that works especially well with the redesigned body style Chevrolet introduced for 2016.

Its four door sedan layout provides easy access to both seating rows, while the trunk offers practical cargo room without the larger footprint of an SUV.

The Malibu is a good example of why a midsize sedan can still make sense for someone who does not need the additional size, weight, or expense of a crossover.

Why This Chevrolet Malibu

This 2016 Chevrolet Malibu LT 1LT stands out because the Convenience and Technology Package gives it features that still matter to buyers today. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, an 8 inch touchscreen, remote start, wireless charging, and dual zone automatic climate control make it considerably better equipped than a basic commuter sedan.

Combined with the turbocharged engine, comfortable midsize cabin, and Front Wheel Drive, it makes sense for commuting, school, highway travel, or anyone looking for practical everyday transportation with useful technology.
