Columbiana, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/02/2011 -- Looking for an award-winning sedan? Look no further than the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu, available now at Chevrolet dealers in Youngstown.

The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu was recently named a Best Buy by Consumers Digest for the second year in a row. That’s in addition to a long list of previous awards- a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for 2010, the 2008 North American Car of the Year award and over 40 other awards since the car’s introduction.

Youngstown Chevrolet dealer Columbiana Chevrolet is excited to have new Malibu models in stock now.

With its strong stance and bold proportions, the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu in Youngstown has a profile that reinforces its substantial feel. Clean, pure lines and wheels pushed to the corners, as well as a visually lower, yet longer, greenhouse and a shorter deck suggest motion, agility and attitude. The interior’s attention to detail matches the Malibu’s exterior, with an ergonomic design using premium materials that convey quality and value.

The 2011 Malibu is offered in three well-equipped trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ – all with a standard, fuel-efficient, four-cylinder 2.4L Ecotec engine and six-speed transmission that delivers over 30 mpg highway. The Malibu was the first midsize sedan to offer a standard four-cylinder/six-speed automatic transmission combination. EPA-estimated fuel economy for this DOHC powertrain with variable valve timing is 22 mpg in the city and an impressive 33 on the highway.

All Malibu models, even the base LS model, include great standard and available features that Youngstown Chevrolet shoppers will love. Standard features on the Malibu LS include four-wheel anti-lock brakes, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 playback, XM Satellite Radio, OnStar 9.0 with six months of directions and connections service and Turn-by-Turn Navigation, power height driver seat adjuster with power lumbar, remote keyless entry and cruise control. LS models include custom cloth front bucket seats and 17-inch fascia spoke wheels.

GM’s standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system uses sophisticated vehicle sensors tied to the anti-lock braking system to help the driver maintain control during certain maneuvers, especially ones of an emergency nature. The brake assistance feature provides full braking power when a panic-braking event is detected. This can reduce the braking distance, providing more control in helping to avoid a crash.
