One of the biggest introductions at the Shanghai
Auto Show is no doubt the redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The new Malibu is a crucial model for the reborn, post-bankruptcy General Motors. The car is remarkable for the depth of its reach: the 2013 Malibu is a world car that will be sold in 100 markets representing six continents .
The Malibu reflects a global approach that we saw with the Cruze. The current generation of the Malibu, launched as a 2008 model, was nearly entirely North American in approach, design and development.
The current Malibu represented a significant step forward for Chevrolet though, being the brand’s first competitive mid-size sedan in years. The 2013 Malibu looks to take that effort to a whole new level.
In styling, the new Malibu follows a similar pattern to the Cruze. Without being polarizing, the design goes for a more aggressive and planted approach than its competitors. It is clearly American, and makes its mark as a Chevy.
