2 Answers
The Malibu has a fuel consumption of 6.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is an introduction to the Malibu: 1. Introduction: The Malibu is equipped with a 1.5T engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 125kW (170PS). The maximum rated power (Kw/rpm) is 125/5600, displacement (ml) is 1490, and maximum torque (Nm/rpm) is 250.3/2000-4000. The Chevrolet Malibu has dimensions of 4855*1854*1476mm, a curb weight of 1520kg, a wheelbase of 2737mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 70L. 2. Product Features: In terms of appearance, the Malibu integrates the headlights and the grille into one unit, with the headlights adopting a combined high/low beam structure and xenon light sources. In terms of power, the Malibu is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 125kW (170PS), and the transmission system uses a 6-speed automatic transmission. The lowest combined fuel consumption under standard conditions is 6.8L per 100 kilometers.
I've been commuting in my Malibu for years, and fuel consumption really tests road conditions. During daily city driving with constant stops and starts, it averages around 10L/100km, and can even jump to 12L in peak traffic jams. It's much better on highway trips during weekends, dropping to 7-8L/100km with lower wind resistance, stable handling and less effort. Fuel efficiency also varies by configuration - the new 1.5T engine is more efficient, with a friend reporting combined 8.5L/100km, though AC usage or heavy loads increase consumption. To improve mileage, I regularly check tire pressure and fuel system cleanliness, plus drive smoothly without sudden acceleration, saving hundreds in fuel costs annually.
