GM Redesigns Midsize Cars - 2014 Chevrolet Malibu

BAY CITY, Mich. - In need of a makeover, GM revealed on Friday the new and improved Chevrolet Malibu to consumers, with hopes that the vehicle will be able to compete with other midsize segment cars.  After the redesigned 2013 Malibu failed to keep up with other vehicles such as the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima, and Honda Accord, GM regrouped and regathered their thoughts for the 2014 car.

GM's redesigned 2014 Chevrolet Malibu boasts a bolder and sleeker front, an improved powertrain and upgraded interior.  The Malibu's grille was lowered, while they reconfigured the center console inside the vehicle.  The console is now longer, with enough storage space for two cell phones. Engineers boosted rear-seat knee room by 1.25 inches and made chassis and suspension improvements. With all thoughts on the interior and front end, there is little to no change in its rear styling.

As for technology, the Malibu's standard 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder engine, now has 2 new features: start-stop technology and variable valve lift control. The start-stop technology allows the engine to turn off while the car is stopped and restart when the driver presses the accelerator, a feature boosts mpg. The refreshed 2014 Malibu will get fuel economy of 35 mpg on the highway (increase of 3%) and 23 in the city (increase of 5%).

GM North America President Mark Reuss says that GM has to effectively relaunch the vehicle, even though it spent a large portion of 2012 doing that for the 2013 car.  "In this hotly competitive segment, we can't afford to stand still, ever," he said. "We have to move quickly, invest heavily and strive for continuous improvement and perfection."

This strive for perfection is apparent, as most products get notable upgrades every three years, and GM has decided to redesign the Malibu a year after the redesign.

Reuss said he wouldn't hesitate to adjust quickly when a product is falling short.

"I'm not going to wait for the marketplace to tell us that. I live in the future," he told reporters. "When I think things are going to taper off, or we know there's competitive pressure and we know what's coming out in a competitive way, then we're going to go at it."

The new standard Malibu produces 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet torque, down from 197 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque for the 2013 version. GM will continue to offer the LS, LT and LTZ trim options, as well as the Malibu Eco (which uses mild-hybrid eAssist system).

GM will offer an optional 2-liter turbocharged engine with 259 horsepower, the same as the previous turbo option, and 295 pound-feet of torque, a 14% improvement from its predecessor.

2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 - Rock-n-roll on wheels
A muscle car is flexing the muscles because they threatened to drive the Ford Mustang than Shelby GT from having the Chevrolet engineers and the Camaro tuned once again and for the eternal battle of pony cars have been upgraded for ZL1: The compressor is the most Corvette is its 6.2-liter V8 engine now makes 580 hp and the outspoken force for Meier strongest Camaro of all time - and most emotional.

2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 

This car is like rock and roll on wheels: It's loud, wild and alive. The sharpened design with chubby cheeks and plenty of carbon to the muscular hood is a show, the sound is brutal and the start of breath-taking.

If the 305er slippers found on the rear axle on the asphalt enough support, that knows the Camaro is no stopping them: then break up to 754 Nm to the car in about four seconds to 100 and who has no fear of the Sheriff may, this wild game to 290 things drift - the faster the Camaro from the factory has never been. And even louder, because if you play long enough with the gas pedal, it elicits from the orchestra of the eight cylinders and four tailpipes and a tantalizing blend of rumbling roar, rumble and roar that makes any radio obsolete.

Who the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 on the public highway extends, the risk in America probably a life sentence, or at least a bus ticket to eternity. But just like the first Camaro ZL1 from the late sixties, this despite the Camaro street legal, especially for the race track and even more so made for the drag strip. The quarter mile is his home, and each long line behind a red light, his territory. Therefore, one can change the setup of the power button on Meiers. Suspension, steering, stability control system and engine can be divided into five levels vary so that it always lies down the perfect racing start. Except for the tires you have to worry about anything here, the engineers promise: The rear axle and the clutch are reinforced to withstand at least 1:000 missile launches.

But the Camaro is not only fast on the straights. Even on a winding country road makes the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 a very decent figure. Because he of the Corvette next to the compressor and the programmable magnetic ride suspension, takes over the steering system for a U.S. car is surprisingly sharp and precise and the discs are great, like family pizzas from "Domino's", the car struggles valiantly through tight turns and bites over steep mountain passes. Sure the car is a bit difficult to get, because every pound of aluminum or carbon would have driven the Chevrolet Camaro out of the price range for the mass sports, so that in the curves have been some work done. And quite as delicate, precise and sharp as comparable in performance high-tech sports cars from the blow of the Mercedes SLS or the Audi R8, it is not. Instead of precision and sensitivity, he simply uses his impressive impact and becomes a .45 Magnum with a loud small calibers.

2013 Chevy Malibu

The name "Malibu" goes back a long way from Chevrolet. For the first time there was a Chevy Malibu in 1964, the latest generation is now a true world car has become. Since February 2012 there is also the 486 cm-long sedan, compared to previous models, the new Malibu is not only tailored for the U.S. market. A sleek design with a few additions to the sporty Camaro, luxurious amenities and a low price to attract new customers to Chevrolet.

2013 chevy malibu

First of all it gives the Malibu with the 2.4 liter petrol engine that has an output of 167 hp (123 kW). As befits an American car, we have the Malibu with automatic transmission and in the upscale LTZ design chosen. Chevy Malibu offers luxury model brought to the door. Come standard in the Malibu among others have ESP, ABS, 6 airbags, xenon headlamps with washers, electrically-adjustable leather seats, a rear parking aid, cruise control, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, 18 "alloy wheels, a CD radio with nine speakers, Rain and light sensor and a keyless entry and start system.

The interior of the Malibu offers a beautiful mix of modern elements and some retro-fitting inserts, such as square or trim, cut across the dashboard. Compared to the reputation of the U.S. cars of yesteryear, you can also find satisfaction that both the material quality and workmanship are top. No rattling and creaking no escape from the really very pretty and clearly laid-out dashboard.

The operation of all functions is intuitive, and as befits an American car, there are lots of shelves. A great hiding even behind the navigation screen, which is folded up.

Despite a length of 486 inches, the interior is not at all places been very generous. While the driver and passenger can still appreciate princely space, it is for the rear passengers a bit cramped. In the U.S., the Malibu is also the only mid-size sedans, which have just for the rear passengers is not quite as lush place. Positive but the chevy Malibu can shine again with its boot volume, which is 545 liters capacity extremely generous.

In sum, the properties of the interior but offers a lovely atmosphere, and you feel immediately at home. In addition, the 2.4 liter engine does its work pleasantly quiet, penetrating even at high motorway speeds neither motor nor roll-off and wind noise in the interior - Bravo!

Here, die-hard American car fans would surely want to have a smoother V6, but the downsizing is also facing major U.S. cars are not halted. They must be content now, the drivers of the U.S. sedans with 4 cylinders, in the case of the Malibu with a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder with 167 hp (123 kW).

With a maximum torque of 225 Nm, which is available at 4,600 r / min, it has enough power to keep at least 1.5 tons of weight on your toes. Especially in the low speed range, the gasoline engine is running very confidently, only when the tachometer is driving towards a red area, the engine feels a little irritated at. In 10.2 seconds but the U.S. sedan sprints from standstill to 100 km / h and up to 206 km / h.

Absolutely perfect is also very direct steering that immediately responds to every little steering movement. Far more like U.S. Design is the tuning of the 6-speed torque converter automatic, although with a very gentle, slow gear changes but can not quite convincing as the steering.
For such a large sedan in the  Chevy Malibu can maneuver well in tight spaces, while parking also helps the rear parking aid, one for the front would not hurt either.

Not quite up to date is the consumption. On average, the Chevrolet Malibu in our test 9.8 liters of petrol per 100 kilometers, granted. A value that certainly offers potential for improvement. According to the work should be satisfied with 8.0 liters of great Americans. In the long U.S. highway at 110 km / h

Who is in the middle class in search of a sedan should always consult the Chevrolet dealer of their choice. The Chevrolet Malibu is made extremely smart, has a fully equipped and confident about having a good workmanship and a perfect sound insulation.

2012 Chevrolet Orlando Review

Based on the show car idea first seen in 2008, the Chevrolet Orlando is nevertheless a true household car for the times, mixing 7-seater features, internal mobility and ample fill space.

"We're assured the Orlando not only provides great value for money to the MPV category but at the same time something refreshing - a certain operate with mind-set, as we put it," says John Brannon, chief executive and md of Chevrolet Western countries. "I believe it will also carry more new clients to the Chevrolet brand."

While the outside of the new Chevrolet Orlando is sure to entice a lot of interest, the internal too functions many of the newest design hints from Chevy such as the Corvette-inspired combined seat and normal pink backlighting to the center system. Unique design is nothing without well-thought-out features however, so the 'theater-style' sitting understanding of the Orlando's three lines of chairs, the ample fill area and the numerous storage area remedies will also pick up the interest of household drivers.

The internal sitting is called 'theater-style' because despite the capturing roof-line, developers have won in increasing the second and third lines which allow the Chevrolet Orlando's residents to get an even better view both ahead and to the element and without limiting head-room. In fact headroom in the third row of chairs in the Orlando is excellent to a variety of adversary MPVs.

Safety for the car residents is always a critical factor for this type of car, and in Chevy Orlando owners will be convinced by both the interest to details and the addition of the most advanced technological innovation that has gone into this element of the car design. Most of Orlando's framework is designed of high durability precious metal to form an effective traveler protection crate offering protection in the event of a impact to the top side, back and element of the car. Should a impact happen, Orlando's residents will be secured by six safety bags - increase front side, element and layer.

Under the lid there is a choice of three of Chevrolet's petrol powerful applications, one energy and two diesels.

Aggressive hints, such as fender flames and motorcycle-inspired game headlamps, are combined with global style hints - a dual-element grill and game taillamps - for a style immediately familiar as Chevy. The top rated of the cover forms a character line above the headlamps, which streams in a luxurious aspect account recognized by continuous body aspect collections, a high beltline and low roofline. The aspect showcases carry the same appearance as the car and apparently disappear into the account.

The automobile and five-door designs are particularly different. The five-door carries a tight, two-box appearance with competitive, diving function collections, while the sedan's "notchback" account has a more enhanced and older presence. At first glance, the five-door model looks like a three-door hatch out because the back home addresses are prudently located in the "C"-pillar area.
