OnStar-equipped 2007 Chevrolet Malibu and 2007 Malibu Maxx models feature OnStar dual-mode (analog-digital) equipment. OnStar's digital equipment also includes enhanced hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada . Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Hands-Free Calling that allows drivers to make and receive voice-activated phone calls using an externally mounted antenna for greater reception.

The OnStar service standard on the 2007 Malibu and Chevrolet Malibu Maxx includes the General Motors Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) system, making crash data available to the participating 911 centers to help them dispatch the appropriate live-saving personnel and equipment to crash scenes faster.

Additional navigation support is provided by OnStar's Directions & Connections Plan with Turn-by-Turn Navigation , new for 2007. The Turn-by-Turn service allows OnStar customers to talk to a live advisor, who in turn sends complete step-by-step directions to customers' vehicle through their OnStar system. Audio directions are then automatically played through the vehicle's stereo as they are needed, triggered by the OnStar system's GPS capabilities. This helps drivers to their destination while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.



2007 Chevrolet Malibu - Versatile interiors

In the sedan body style, 2007 Malibu measures out at 101 cubic feet (2,871 L) of space for passengers and cargo, and a 60/40-split/folding rear seat helps accommodate larger items.

The even more spacious Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2007 features rear seats that slide nearly 7 inches (17.8 cm) fore and aft, and are split 60/40. The rear seat backs also recline, allowing different sized rear passengers to tailor their seating position in a similar way a front-seat passenger can. The Malibu Maxx has a generous 106 cubic feet (3,002 L) of passenger space and a luxurious 41 inches (104 cm) of legroom with the seats pushed all the way back - legroom comparable to a full-size domestic luxury sedan.

2007 Malibu Maxx also features a standard fixed rear glass skylight that provides an open atmosphere over the rear seats. Both driver- and passenger-side rear occupants have the option of opening or closing a standard split/retractable shade to control the amount of light coming through the skylight.
