Watch the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Tested Hard in New Teaser - Automobile

People don’t think of mainstream cars as tough, but they should. Simple commuter cars endure a day-in, day-out strain that requires a huge amount of durability to outlast. Stop-and-go traffic, potholes, and a variety of weather conditions are par for the course for mainstream vehicles. ” To make sure the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu can stand up to well beyond the usual pain of daily driving, General Motors engineers put the upcoming mid-size sedan through a barrage of brutal testing. In a new teaser video for the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, the sedan trudges through specially designed road courses pockmarked with vicious potholes, deep puddles, and nasty weather. Extreme conditions outside of GM’s Milford Proving Grounds include putting the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu through sweltering heat in Yuma, Arizona and horrific cold in northern Canada. The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu mule featured in the teaser is no more revealing that previous spy shots we’ve seen, but Chevy promises the car will have a dramatic and expressive design. We expect a smaller turbocharged engine to replace the existing 2. 5-liter four-banger, possibly the 1. 4-liter turbo from the Sonic and Cruze, or the 2. 0-liter turbo used widely in Buick and Cadillac vehicles.
