Is the fuel consumption of the Malibu XL 2.0T high?
2 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Malibu XL 2.0T is 6.7L/100km, which is not considered high. Relevant introduction of the Malibu XL is as follows: 1. The exterior adopts the Chevrolet family design style, with a layered large-mouth front grille that is very dynamic, filled with horizontal chrome trim inside. The slim headlights on both sides are sharp, and the side profile is sleek with a smooth and natural fastback roofline, free of any awkwardness. The rich lines create excellent light and shadow effects, and the upturned ducktail enhances the sporty feel. 2. The Malibu XL has dimensions of 4933*1854*1472mm and a wheelbase of 2829mm. The 2.0T engine delivers a maximum power of 174kW (5000rpm), maximum horsepower of 237Ps, and maximum torque of 350N•m (1500-4000rpm).
Friends who have driven the Malibu XL 2.0T know that this car isn't exactly fuel-efficient. I mostly commute in the city, and during rush hour traffic, the display shows around 11-12L. Highway cruising is much better, at about 6-7L. However, this fuel consumption is normal for a 2.0T in its class, especially considering its 237 horsepower—stepping on the gas really delivers that thrilling push-back feeling. If you're particularly concerned about fuel costs, turning off the start-stop system and avoiding sudden acceleration can help reduce consumption a bit. But let's be honest, most people buy this car for its power, so slightly higher fuel consumption is acceptable.
