Chuck Hutton's Late Summer Look at the Horizon: 2019 Malibu Specs + Features

As the back-to-school season begins to creep up closer for all of us here in Memphis, it may be time to figure out just which vehicle will perfectly meet your needs! We know that crossover SUV's have become all of the rage lately, but it's absolutely true that a stellar midsize sedan could meet your needs perfectly! Fuel economy, base price, and new features are some of the biggest driving factors for any new car that customers we talk to here at Jim Butler are looking for. The Malibu is one of those that customers have always loved instantly, and much thought was given to the new year's additives.

There is a completely restyled front and rear, with new front fascia, headlamps, and  grilles. Dual-element tail lamps, with the availability of LED taillights to boot, as well as a new rear fascia are all included as striking new elements this fall. There is a brand-new 8-inch reconfigurable color driver information center, and the Chevy Infotainment 3 has a new, 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen radio, with newly-available navigation features to help you get your bearings in any inclement situation. Come check out how selecting the L Trim can provide for you a rear-vision camera, an enormous help to see behind you in grave detail if you need to back up in a hurry.

Looking at different trims are the name of the game as far as finding the vehicle perfect for your specific situation, and the Premier Trim may just be the one you've always been looking for: you'll get to snag rear heated outboard seats, and CVT transmission on models with the 1.5L Turbo engine. One of the comments we've been hearing about the all-new Malibu RS is that the appearance seems much more personalized and sportier than the year's before, and blacked-out styling cues including a black sport grille, bowtie emblems rear spoiler, and 18-inch wheels as well as dual-outlet exhaust help round off the appearance. Inside, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, shifter, and black cloth seats are other highlights that give the driver the ability to enjoy the best in upper-end stylings, at the entry-level pricing point.

The L, LS, RT, and LT are powered by the 1.5L Turbo engine, which uses a

Continously Variable Transmission; the slightly headier 2.0 L Turbo engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission is standard on Premier. OnStar 4G LTE with wi-fi hotspot is standard on LS, RS, and LT, which now includes the 3 GB 3-month data trial. We invite you to take the trip down to Chuck Hutton of Memphis this fall and feast your eyes on the Malibu that is coming soon: With features like the Driver Confidence Package II, it provides the features of Lane Keep Assist, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking, and the useful nighttime aid of IntelliBeam automatic high-beam control.
