Introducing the Totally New 2008 Chevrolet Malibu

With its uncompromising quality and trend-setting style, you can pit Chevrolet Malibu against four German and six Japanese cars and the result will always be the same: 2008 North American Car of the Year. Then add the most affordable mid-size hybrid option in Canada**, and suddenly you've got a car that is also setting the standard on how to be green at a better price.

There's nothing lucky about these stars. We take your safety seriously and build every 2008 Chevrolet Malibu with your protection and peace of mind at heart. So you can drive with confidence behind the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 5-star frontal and side impact crash rating, the highest government rating possible.

On clone-filled streets, the 2008 Malibu stands out with a decidedly refined yet sporty appearance. From the raised island hood with a stunning new dual-port grille to the available 18-inch Ultra-Bright alloy wheels and chrome accents, you won't be able to tear your eyes from this Malibu. See it in action in our video gallery as the guys from   Car Business  take it for a spin along the California coastline.

Inside the remarkably quiet interior, every detail has been thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed. Like the available two-tone tipped leather-appointed heated front bucket seating and two-tone cast-skin instrument panel. Automatic electronic climate control, blue ambient lighting, a robust Driver Information Centre and the 210-watt eight-speaker premium audio system complete the effect.

Sports car or family sedan? Enter the Malibu LTZ dual cockpit and you'll see both. Simply put, Malibu is designed for those who enjoy driving. A wide track and sport tuned shock damping, plus an available six-speed automatic transmission with tap up/tap down driver paddle shifters located on the steering wheel combine to help tailor your driving experience.
