The exciting and sporty RS trim is situated in the
middle of the lineup for the Chevy Malibu, just beneath the LT and Premier models. The folks
on staff at Autoweek offered up a feature this past week on the
blog examining the trim level closely, and they admired how this particular
choice of trim can delightfully show off your dark side! The grille, Bowtie
logos and rear spoiler all come in black, and you also get the added treats of
18-inch alloy wheels and dual exhaust.
Inside, the seats are wrapped in black cloth and
the shifter and steering wheels in leather. Auto features writer Robin Warner
claimed that the chassis was perfectly stable through the everyday driving she
tossed its way, and that it never felt too harsh or floaty. She was driving
predominantly around Detroit metro roads and found it easy to get a comfortable
seating position right off the bat. The RS was equipped with all the things she
needed to make the daily commute comfortable: power seats, tilt and telescoping
steering, as well as Bluetooth connectivity.
All available engines for the Malibu are
inline-fours: all of the non-hybrid models use a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine
cranking out a peak 160 horsepower at 5,700 rpm and 184 lb-ft of torque.
Highway mileage is situated at 36 mpg, and 29 city is the EPA rating. All of us
on staff here to happily serve you at Chuck Hutton Chevy of
Memphis know full well that our competitors have heavily shifted
their focus to SUVS, crossovers, and trucks, but we have still remained
steadfast by refreshing the Malibu, Camaro, Spark, and Cruze models for the
2019 year. The RS trim level also has a new CVT that replaces the outgoing
6-speed automatic on the standard 1.5-liter turbo-four model, as the more
powerful 2.0-liter model keeps its 9-speed automatic.
The RS trim is our favorite, but when you come to
visit us for a test drive, don't forget to check out the LT model: it includes
heated front seats, dual-zone automatic temperature control, remote engine
start, rear-seat air-conditioning vents, and LED daytime running lights. The
range-topping Premier comes standard with the more powerful 2.0-liter engine,
ventilated front seats, perforated leather seating, heated steering wheel, Bose
audio system, wireless phone charging, an 8.0-inch instrument cluster display,
and LED headlights.
The Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Nissan Altima
take their respective solid positions against our Malibu in the form of
competition, and we believe that our well-rounded model along with the sporty
RS trim will attract buyers on a budget that still have a penchant for a sleek
and sporty new sedan! We hope to see you soon here at Chuck Hutton, where we
can educate you on warranty coverage, service agreements, and the perfect
Malibu trim for you.
