2 Answers
The 2017 Malibu does not have daytime running lights. The function of daytime running lights is to make the vehicle more easily recognizable by other pedestrians or vehicles during daytime driving. Introduction to the Malibu: 1. The Malibu is a midsize 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4855mm, width 1854mm, height 1476mm, and a wheelbase of 2737mm. 2. The Malibu is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 125kW and maximum torque of 250.3Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, featuring front-wheel drive. The front suspension uses MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.
As someone who frequently pays attention to car configurations, I'm quite familiar with the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. It indeed comes with daytime running lights (DRLs), which are usually standard on mid-trim and higher versions, automatically turning on when the engine starts to enhance daytime driving safety. When driving this car, the lights being on make it easier for other vehicles to spot you, reducing the risk of rear-end collisions, especially in urban traffic. If you're unsure, you can check the owner's manual or pop the hood to locate the lights. In daily use, it's convenient and hassle-free since there's no manual switch design—modern and practical, ideal for family commuting. If the lights stop working, check the fuse or bulb. Nowadays, most cars promote this feature, and the Malibu does it well with good cost-performance. You can even upgrade the bulbs yourself to increase brightness, though the factory settings are already sufficiently bright.
