Here at Art Gamblin Motors, your Tacoma Chevrolet Dealer, we are excited about the new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu—a vehicle that delivers outstanding performance, quality, efficiency, safety and stellar style coupled with an innovative design. The 2013 Malibu features stunning interior style, design, comfort and convenience. The 2013 Malibu’s all-new dual-cockpit interior takes design and execution to a new level in terms of detail sophistication and use of premium materials:

• Dual-cockpit design updates signature Chevrolet design theme.

• Larger knobs and graphics along with intuitively-placed controls enhance occupant ergonomics and help make driver and passengers feel more comfortable.

• Signature Chevrolet ice-blue lighting illuminates control knobs and storage areas. Ambient IP and door lighting uses light-pipe technology to ensure even, consistent illumination on Eco, LT and LTZ.

Roominess

The 2013 Malibu is nearly 3″ wider inside than the previous model. This translates into:

Comfortable Seats

Malibu’s all-new sport-sculpted seats have benefited from extensive ride validations around the globe. Key talking points:

• Highly bolstered for long-distance comfort.

• Overall seat construction is both stronger and lighter (by about 10%) compared to traditional seat structures. Seats are also over 0.5″ slimmer than before, providing additional rear knee and leg room.

Improved Ergonomics

Grip, reach and hand clearance characteristics have been optimized through 3-dimensional computer modeling and human testing. Key talking points:

• Center stack control knobs upsized approximately 15% for easy 3-finger access and feel. Rubberized radius with inset chrome enhances tactile feel and grip.

• Enlarged instrument panel fonts and symbols for easier reading.

• Roomier hand, elbow and shoulder zones.

• World-class shifter zone with proper hand clearance for cup access, storage access and shifting.
