The all-new eighth generation Chevrolet Malibu is not only the first in the nameplates' 35-year long history to be offered globally but also the first to launch outside the United States.

“Korea is the first country to produce and sell the all-new Malibu,” commented GM Korea President and CEO Mike Arcamone. “With expressive styling, a comfortable cabin, outstanding ride and handling, and top-notch safety, it will exceed the expectations of consumers.”

The 4,865mm-long 2013 Malibu is offered in South Korea with a choice of two four-cylinder Ecotec petrol engines, both linked to an automatic transmission.
The entry-level 2.0-liter unit is rated at 141HP and delivers a combined fuel economy of 12.4km/lt (equal to 29.2mpg US or 8.0lt/100km), while the larger displacement 2.4-liter engine produces 178HP and returns a fuel economy of 11.8km/lt (27.8mpg US or 8.5 lt/100km).

The new mid-size Chevy is due to launch in China before the end of this year, followed by the United States and Europe next Spring, and Australia towards end of 2012 (as a Holden).
