Refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Malibu Caught In The Wild
Sponsored Links
General Motors is really wasting no time in bringing a refreshed Chevrolet Malibu to market by the 2014 model year to fix what critics have griped over. As evidence, Car & Driver very recently published a gallery of spy photos capturing a duo of new Malibu test mules on the highway, with their new faces shrouded in mystery.
Based on what’s been reported, we can also expect increased rear legroom compared to the current model, and maybe even a new powertrain, if we’re lucky.

Hmm what is with the hood and what looks like two scoops one on each side.
Dummy hood or some kind of idea for intakes?
Well I can recall the new Malibu was shown in seceret to the press what was it 2008-2009. It was pretty much locked in then. So if things had gone as they normally would the car would have been out in late 10 as a 2011.
GM then had to fast track this car because as they fell behind it was going to be a late 2014 if they did not move it up. I believe this is why the refresh is so soon and fixing the back seat is a easy one since the scooped out seat backs are a common thing at GM. My 08 has them and even the Cruze. 1-2 inches and a re contoured seat bottom can do wonders and does not take rocket science.
The 1.6 was coming too as it was delayed too.
GM had a lot to fix and they could only do so much so fast. Anyone that thought the GM rebuild would be complete in a couple years has no concept of what it takes. This is a 10 year plan and that is if everything goes right.
Look for a lot of new product over the next 3-4 years.
i bought a new 2013 chevy malibu and the new rear tail lights is what sold me.
I just bought a 2013 Malibu and please dont change a thing. I looked for month’s and came down to the looks inside and out. yes the power is a little light but its a great looking car.

I really like the 2014 Malibu revisions, and I would be excited to buy one if it would be available in a coupe as well.
