2007 Chevrolet Malibu & Malibu Maxx






2007 Malibu and Malibu Maxx deliver the performance, versatility and fuel economy of the best midsize sedans with the dependability and value that customers expect from Chevrolet. They adapt to different individuals and lifestyles, with flexible interiors and a full range of driver personalization features. Chevrolet Malibu Maxx SS model, added for the 2006 model year, adds an additional level of excitement to a lineup that saw sales jump by 13 percent in 2005.

From the B-pillar forward, the Malibu sedan and Malibu Maxx are identical. The five-door Malibu Maxx rides on a wheelbase that is 6 inches (15.2 cm) longer than the Malibu sedan, while its overall length is a half-inch (1.3 cm) shorter. The result is a spacious interior for a car its size that offers clever and convenient cargo capabilities.

For 2007, Chevrolet Malibu sedan begins with the well-equipped LS model and includes LT and LTZ models. Then, of course, there are the SS models; performance versions with a unique style and driving experience.

A 3.5L V-6 powerplant with variable valve timing replaces the previous 3.5L V-6 in the Malibu ; it is standard on Malibu and Malibu Maxx LTZ and Malibu Maxx LT, and available on the Malibu LT sedan. The 3.5L V-6 is part of a new family of sophisticated overhead valve, 60-degree V-6 engines that optimize fuel economy and lower emissions.

2007 Malibu SS and Chevrolet Malibu Maxx SS are powered by a sophisticated 3.9L V-6 that uses variable valve timing and variable intake technology to help produce 240 horsepower (179 kW). Unique interior and exterior appointments, along with sport-tuned suspensions and segment-largest 18-inch flangeless wheels, complete the SS packages.
