Performance in the Chevy Malibu near North Myrtle Beach, SC
Chevrolet offers two turbocharged four-cylinder engine options for the Malibu. The first one is 1.5-liter paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that makes 160 horsepower. This engine delivers more than ample power for everyday driving, but if you are looking for a little more power, the 250-horsepower 2.0-liter engine is a good option. It has a nine-speed automatic transmission that provides smooth, swift shifts.
The Chevy Malibu's base engine offers an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, but if you upgrade to the larger engine, fuel economy drops to 22 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.
