Has anyone read it? The new Malibu just went on sale in Korea www.chevrolet.co.kr GM would need some time to convert the new model to RHD... rem my gen Malibu first appeared in the USA at the end of 2012 as a 2013 model. Export RHD models was made available only mid 2014. FYI my gen RHD Malibu is still being CKD in Daewoo factory alongside the new model. GM would need time to convert and test also, esp crash test. IMHO, the new Malibu is not as distinctive as my Gen 8. Yes the new car is significantly larger inside and the 2L Ecotec Turbo is finally available for export markets. But GM tried too hard and it ended up looking like a Hyundai... The classic muscle car coke bottle styling for the side profile that is evident in Gen 8 Malibu is no longer there in the new model.

Cheefarn 5th Gear July 13, 2016 Share July 13, 2016 http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=573281&DL=1000 One black Malibu up for sale here. I wonder if he is one of the member here. Malibu are so rare in SG that it is possible to know everyone by name if we are able to link up LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelbin16 1st Gear July 18, 2016 Share July 18, 2016 Hopefully the price will be affordable also.. Chevy cars are good. Only fuel consumption is the con. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheefarn 5th Gear July 18, 2016 Share July 18, 2016 The Malibu 1.5 Turbo is coming: http://www.torque.com.sg/8603/chevrolet-malibu-1-5-review/ Seriously the 2L T will be an even better car to drive The 1.5L is still abit small for such a big car. The engine needs to be rev hard to get any decent power, even with that HPT running. Alpine shd bring in the 2L as the sole model. Both will be Cat B models so there is no need to settle for less just becos of COE The 1.5L may be adequate for light loads drive ard SG. But once you hit the NSH, you will find it ran out of breath quickly And I want to see how it handles 5 px plus luggage while climbing Genting Highlands... 2L model has a 8AT...

Interestingly, Car&Driver (from USA) says they find the 1.5L to be the more nimble version of the new Malibu. They attribute it to a smoother quicker arrival of power and lower weight - they find the 2.0L drinks like a V6 but doesn't quite bring in the power quickly enough. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anabolic 1st Gear July 25, 2016 Share July 25, 2016 Quick call to Alpine motors, no timeline yet on the new gen Malibu... "not at least until next year". Maybe when 2018 model launches, we will get 2015 model? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheefarn 5th Gear July 26, 2016 Share July 26, 2016 Quick call to Alpine motors, no timeline yet on the new gen Malibu... "not at least until next year". Maybe when 2018 model launches, we will get 2015 model? Bro the fact remains that GM has yet to convert the new Malibu into RHD. The new Malibu just went on sale in China as the Malibu XL hahaha.. In today's internet world, shouldnt we rely more on internet news rather than Alpine news? To be fair, Alpine did brought in my gen Malibu fairly quickly after GM converted it to RHD and release it to RHD markets. We were like 4 to 5 mths late only. It could be due to the fact that the old Epica was so bad that Alpine needs to junk it at the earliest opportunity. FYI, my Malibu is still being CKD in Daewoo factory in Korea alongside the new Malibu. Despite its shortcomings, it is still a solid well designed platform that does no wrong...

Ake109 6th Gear August 3, 2016 Share August 3, 2016 Hmm, looks like a cross between a Passat (the lights) and a Korean car (not really a bad thing, Kia has been looking good) and even a bit of the Audi A4 Sportback in the side profile. 4922mm! That's quite a lot of car! If they bring it into Cat A I think this will be the biggest Cat A car you can buy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheefarn 5th Gear September 1, 2016 Share September 1, 2016 https://youtu.be/OUdrpKVAz10 While we wait for the new Malibu to arrive in SG, here's some in depth review of the car to whet your appetite... https://youtu.be/o3WMfaPLjL0 Kindly ignore the GM OnStar and the XM Sirus radio. These things won't be available for export markets since there is no infrastructure for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheefarn 5th Gear September 16, 2016 Share September 16, 2016 https://youtu.be/5Vdc3iEDPUA The Korean market Malibu will be even more relavent to us since our stocks will continue to be CKD from Korea. Notice the reviewer was trying to make a big point at how well asembled the new Malibu... the shut lines were super even and flush... Whoever said America made lousy cars?

Vinceng Turbocharged July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 Looks like the Malibu is another victim of the soon-to-be-imposed Euro 6 emissions standards. http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=11379 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
