Overview
The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid fares well in the midsize sedan segment. Adding $3,225 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the Malibu Hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $24,985 and is offered in a single trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 2.4L Inline-4 engine supported by a 1.5 kWh battery pack. Mated to a 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission, it makes 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 24 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 29 MPG, making the increase in sticker price worth it. The performance of the Malibu Hybrid also improves here, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 MPH in 8.2 seconds. Chevrolet offers the same 8 colors for the Malibu Hybrid. The Malibu Hybrid mainly competes against the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and the Toyota Camry Hybrid.
