The interior has redesigned seats which contribute to greater seat space in the rear and greater comfort. The front seats are shaped to improve rear seat room. New cushion sculpturing and revised cushion material allow passengers to sit deeper in the rear seats. The Chevrolet Malibu's center console has a longer armrest for greater comfort, along with a pair of cup holders and storage for two cell phones.

With an all new Ecotec 2.5 liter Intake valve Lift Control DOHC four-cylinder engine with direct injection, it enhances efficiency and helps lower emissions while enhancing low-rpm torque for greater power at lower speeds. The new star/stop technology shuts down the 2.5liter engine to save fuel when the Malibu stops momentarily, such as stop lights which contributes to an approximate 5% increase in city fuel economy. With 196hp and 186lb-ft of torque, the Malibu gets an enhanced feeling of performance while delivering greater refinement.

The Malibu comes with 10 standard air bags and an available rearview camera system. Take a closer look at the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu in our gallery.
