Malibu Hybrid Debuts at All-Star Game

The all-new 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid recently made its world debut in Major League Baseball’s All-Star Fan Zone.

The GM Hybrid system featured on the Malibu Hybrid saves fuel by using sophisticated controls and software, as well as a unique, 36V electric motor/generator mated to GM Powertrain’s 2.4L Ecotec VVT four-cylinder engine and Hydra-Matic 4T45 four-speed transmission. The system captures kinetic energy during deceleration through regenerative braking to charge the advanced NiMH battery when it is most efficient.

The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid is covered by GM’s five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. In addition, the Malibu Hybrid’s advanced NiMH battery pack is covered by an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty.
