Chevrolet unveils 2016 Malibu Hybrid at the New York Auto Show

Chevrolet just unveiled its brand new 2016 Malibu Hybrid at the New York Auto Show – and it’s stylish, lighter, and more efficient thanks to a jolt of technology borrowed from the 2016 Chevy Volt. The brand new Malibu Hybrid gets over 45 miles to the gallon, and it features an 80-cell, 1.5 kw-h lithium-ion battery pack that can power car up to 55 mph before a 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine kicks in.
