“This new Malibu LTZ model answers customers’ calls for a premium-equipped car with an efficient, four-cylinder engine,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. “With this new model, the Malibu lineup offers an unmatched range of powertrains, technology and amenities, along with the great styling that has helped make it a runaway success since the first ’08 model rolled off the line.”

The Malibu LTZ with the 2.4L/six-speed powertrain is distinguishable on the exterior by its new 17-inch Chrometec wheels and a single, chrome exhaust outlet. Inside there are no differences compared to the V6-powered LTZ models.
