How Many Cylinders Does the Chevrolet Malibu XL Have?
2 Answers
Chevrolet Malibu XL is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The Chevrolet Malibu XL features a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum output of 170 horsepower and a peak torque of 252 Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the 2.0T engine maintains its unchanged power parameters and continues to be available. Here are some details about the Chevrolet Malibu: 1. Vehicle Design: The Malibu's interior adopts General Motors' commonly used wraparound design, with a dual-layer layout that gives the center console a strong sense of hierarchy. The Chevrolet Malibu comes with a 7-inch central LCD touchscreen. It includes a single-disc CD player supporting MP3 and WMA formats, along with a USB port. Higher-end models feature an intelligent navigation system (with built-in 5G multimedia storage, voice control, single-disc DVD player, and support for MP3/WMA/iPod/CD). 2. Production Plan: The SAIC-GM Chevrolet Malibu went into production at the end of 2011 and was launched in early 2012. It is understood that the initial models released were equipped with 2.0L and 2.4L engines, and did not adopt the "1.6T+6MT" powertrain combination.
I recently bought a Chevrolet Malibu XL, and it drives really well. It comes with a 4-cylinder engine—my 2022 base model has a 1.5T turbocharged engine. It doesn’t consume too much fuel in city traffic, and a full tank can last over 600 kilometers. The acceleration is also decent on the highway. I remember researching before buying—most versions come with 4-cylinders because Chevrolet focuses on fuel efficiency for family use, unlike some sportier cars with 6-cylinders that are more powerful. But for me, it’s more than enough for daily commuting, and it saves on maintenance costs. Unlike V6 engines that often need spark plug replacements, this one is hassle-free. I’d recommend test-driving it to see for yourself.
