2006 NY Auto Show
The Malibu SS and Malibu Maxx SS add excitement to the Malibu lineup, bringing a level of value-driven performance unique within the mid-car segment. The Malibu SS and Malibu Maxx SS are powered by a new, sophisticated 3.9-liter V6 that uses variable valve timing and variable intake technology to help produce 240 horsepower. Unique interior and exterior appointments, along with sport-tuned suspensions and segment-largest 18-inch flangeless wheels, complete the SS packages.
Malibu and Malibu Maxx deliver the performance and versatility of the best midsize sedans with the dependability and value that customers expect from Chevrolet. The two body styles are adaptable to different individuals and lifestyles, with flexible interiors and a full range of driver personalization features.
From the B-pillar forward, the Malibu sedan and Malibu Maxx are identical. The five-door Malibu Maxx rides on a wheelbase that is 6 inches longer than the Malibu sedan, while its overall length is a half-inch shorter. The result is a spacious interior for a car its size that offers clever and convenient cargo capabilities.
