THE all-new Chevrolet Malibu, the brand's new global midsize sedan, has gotten out of the blocks quickly in the Middle East. The Malibu achieved its highest sales in July, its third consecutive monthly sales record since its launch in May. Sales of the new Malibu have totaled 2,429 units in its first 3 months on the market, an increase of 160 percent compared to sales during the same period in 2011. The key contributors in the success of Malibu are its outstanding styling and segment-best ride and handling. A distinctive bodyline that runs along the entire length of the vehicle, strong rear shoulders and bold Camaro-inspired tail lamps are further features that define the Malibu's exterior. Malibu's sleek lines are also matched by its aerodynamic efficiency. GM's design and aero teams collaborated to achieve maximum fuel efficiency for the customers without compromising the car's visual appeal. In addition to saving fuel, the 2013 Malibu's new shape, dimensions and sculpted forms reduce cabin noise, another priority for midsize car buyers. The Malibu is the industry's only midsize car to win the Consumers Digest Automotive “Best Buy” award the past three years – 2011, 2010 and 2009. The new Malibu comes in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels, which are priced from AED 73,000 for the LS to AED 99,500 for the LTZ. – SG
