2011 Chevrolet Malibu Prices
Chevrolet Maibu 2011 |
The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu pricing won’t be announced until shortly
before the car goes on sale. But the 2011 Malibu should not see major
increases over 2010 prices and is likely to return with a four-level
lineup that consists of the entry-level LS model, volume-selling 1LT and
2LT models, and the top-of-the-line LTZ model.
Expect
2011 Chevrolet Malibu LS pricing to start around $23,000, not including
options. (All prices in this review include the manufacturer’s mandated
destination fee; Chevy’s destination fee for 2010 was $720.) As for
2010, the 2011 Malibu LS probably will come only with the four-cylinder
engine and four-speed automatic transmission.
Expect the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ to be priced from about $27,850.
Leather upholstery – available in two-tone – is standard. So is
Bluetooth, heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio
controls, eight-w ay power driver’s seat, power front passenger seat,
heated mirrors, and remote engine start. Many of these features are
options on Malibu 1LT and 2LT models. The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu will
repeat the choice of a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or a 3.6-liter
V-6. The gas-electric Chevy Malibu Hybrid was discontinued during 2009
because of slow sales.  It used very elementary hybrid technology and didn’t save enough fuel
compared to the conventional four-cylinder Malibu to justify its $4,000
price premium. The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu will repeat the

It used very elementary hybrid technology and didn’t save enough fuel
compared to the conventional four-cylinder Malibu to justify its $4,000
price premium. For 2010, the 2.4-liter four was rated at 169 horsepower,
the V-6 at 252; those numbers are not apt to change for 2011. The four
is available with a four- and a six-speed automatic transmission, the
V-6 with the six-speed automatic only. The six-speed comes with steering-wheel
paddle shifters that allow the driver to mimic manual-type gear changes.
Every 2011 Chevy Malibu will have four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock
control to fight lock-ups in emergency stops.
