Chevrolet will sell its next-generation Malibu for $22,500, including delivery, the automaker announced Thursday.

The pricing for the sedan, which sports a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, 2-liter turbo four or a hybrid powertrain, is aggressive in a difficult sales world for mid-size sedans. The base model L undercuts nearly all of its competition, which includes the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Only the Hyundai Sonata and Mazda6 are less expensive than the Malibu.

The 2016 Malibu is 300 pounds lighter and 4 inches longer than the current version and, according to the automaker, will achieve 37 mpg on the highway and 27 mpg city when equipped with a 1.5-liter four. Chevrolet says the 2-liter turbo will manage 22/32 mpg and the hybrid, which goes on sale next year, will muster 48/45 mpg.

Chevrolet says the LS model, which is now one step above the base L, will start at $23,995 and sport a 7-inch touchscreen.

The LT, which can be equipped with the 2-liter turbo, will start at $25,895 and adds LED headlamps and power seats. The top-of-the-line Premier model will run $31,795. Chevrolet did not announce pricing for its hybrid version.

The 2016 Malibu will go on sale later this year. Chevrolet said the Malibu Hybrid would go on sale in Spring 2016.

This is a beautiful car. I hope to check one out soon and perhaps drive one. I understand the Cruze will also be restyled into a nicer-looking package, too. I'm very happy that Chevy has returned to the practice of restoring the model name on the sides of the car again. All cars should have that like it used to be. Be proud of your products!

I have mixed feelings about putting the model name on the sides. What I don't like on the Malibu, unlike the Impala, is the nameplate stuck right in the middle of the door. It's too high up. The Impala has it sitting lower on the door, and it looks better IMO.

Jalop1991 Is this the beginning of the culmination of a very long game by Tesla?Build stuff, prove that it works. Sell the razors, sure, but pay close attention to the blades (charging network) that make the razors useful. Design features no one else is bothering with, and market the hell out of them.In other words, create demand for what you have.Then back out of manufacturing completely, because that's hard and expensive. License your stuff to legacy carmakers that (a) are able to build cars well, and (b) are too lazy to create the things and customer demand you did.Sit back and cash the checks.
Buickman more likely Dunfast.
Chris P Bacon "Dealership". Are these traditional franchised dealers, or is Vinfast selling direct?
Chris P Bacon Full self driving is a fraud. Even aircraft "autopilot" requires pilot interaction, attention, and most importantly of all, training is required. We've already seen accidents by idiots who think they don't need to interact with their Tesla. The system gets confused by simple lane markings, and there are many more variables driving down the street than there is in a jet aircraft.
ToolGuy I read through the Tesla presentation deck last night and here is my take (understanding that it was late and I ain't too bright):• Tesla has realized it has a capital outlay issue and has put the 'unboxed' process in new facilities on hold and will focus on a 'hybrid' approach cranking out more product from the existing facilities without as much cost reduction but saving on the capital.They still plan to go 'all the way' (maximum cost reduction) with the robo thing but that will be in the future when presumably more cash is freed up.
