Though the reveal date is scheduled for April 1, those who see the redesigned 2016 Malibu at the New York International Auto Show will discern that the latest edition of the Chevrolet sedan is no fool. Chevy fans in the St. Louis area can get behind the wheel of this sleeker, lighter Malibu by the end of 2015 at Jim Butler Chevrolet in Fenton, MO.
Chevrolet divulged more information on the 2016 Malibu before its official reveal on April 1. Other than the reveal date, camouflage shots and a teaser video was released on Chevrolet’s official YouTube page. The video details the extreme testing and conditions the ’16 Malibu underwent at testing facilities.
A Historical Approach to the Redesign
Chevrolet said it looked at black box data from its cars dating all the way back to 1972 that "recorded the harshness and frequency of every jounce, bump and shudder inflicted on the car on roads in the U.S. ..."
With the data found, GM engineers figured out the amount of damage that 150,000 miles worth of potholes and the like will inflict on a Malibu during its life. GM tries to replicate those conditions at its proving grounds in Milford, Mich., where engineers abuse pre-production models.
Chevrolet aims to continue the quality and reliability rankings the Malibu make has earned recently. J.D. Power named the Malibu its highest-rated midsize sedan in both its initial-quality study and three-year reliability study in 2014.
