Hybrid Car Review

The 2008 Chevy Malibu Hybrid has a base price of $22,790. It will be available in November along with its more conventional gas only counterparts which will start at $19,995. Prices include shipping.

The new Malibu will be equipped with:

• Six airbags
• Four-wheel antilock disc brakes with all-speed traction control
• OnStar Gen 7 safety and security system with turn-by-turn navigation
• Air conditioning
• XM Satellite radio.
• Available as a four-cylinder or V-6 engine.

The hybrid was rated at 32 mpg highway and 24 mpg city. The four cylinder gas only version of the Malibu was rated for 30 mpg highway and 22 mpg in the city. The V6 received a rating of 26 mpg highway and 17 mpg in the city.

The hybrid pricetag comes in under the base price for the 2008 Camry Hybrid and the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid, but is not lower than the new pricing for the 2008 Toyota Prius.

GM’s StabiliTrak electronic stability control system is standard on LT, LTZ and Hybrid models.
