The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu returns little changed from the 2010 Malibu except for Chevy’s wise decision to drop an antiquated four-speed automatic as the car’s entry-level transmission. Every 2011 Chevrolet Malibu comes standard with the superior six-speed automatic gearbox. Malibu’s next major engineering and appearance changes are likely for model-year 2013.
Part of the 2011 Malibu’s character derives from a long wheelbase and short sheetmetal overhangs. The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu returns with a four-level lineup that consists of the entry-level LS model, volume-selling 1LT and 2LT models, and the top-of-the-line LTZ model.
Mechanical: The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu again offers a choice of two engines. Again optional only on the Malibu 2LT and LTZ models is a 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 252 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque.

With the weight of its engine and transmission over the driving wheels, this front-wheel-drive sedan has good traction in snow. Malibu regains points with fine bump absorption and a notably quiet bearing.
