welcome to the show floor of the 2015 new york international auto show and welcome to this the 2016 chevy malibu and the malibu has long been Chevy's entry-level full-size sedan and this year it gets even more full-size growing almost 4 inches in wheelbase it gives a lot more room on the inside but somehow magically GM has actually reduced the weight of the car by some 300 pounds it means better handling and better fuel efficiency to motors will be on offer starting with a 1.5 liter turbocharged ecoboost engine there's also going to be a two liter 250 horsepower engine the basic engine option will be a 1.5 liter turbocharged engine those looking for a little more power can step up to a 2-liter turbocharged engine with 250 horsepower but the real talking point is the new hybrid model this uses volt power train to give you a 1.8 liter motor up to 45 miles per gallon combined that's Prius level mileage the car that is a lot bigger than a Prius on the inside we've got some new technology some new driver aids adaptive cruise control lane departure that sort of thing there's also a new team driver mode that will send reports to mom and dad about how fast teams have been driving how far they've been driving they'll even give them a report of how many times they wandered out of their lane which is a little bit scary Chevy isn't saying exactly how much the new mal was going to cost but expected to start swimming too low to mid-20s I'll be in dealerships before the end of 2015 I'm Tim Stevens and this is the new york international auto show taking a look at the 2016 chevy malibu Oh
