Sleek and crispy lines flowing into beautiful curves, the body of Chevrolet Malibu 2011 is breath taking. Broad and curvy head-lamps guard Chevrolet’s signature dual-port chrome finished grille with a body colored bar running in between. Sharp lines on the chin holding the chrome rimmed fog lights bring aggressiveness to the styling. Smooth lines flow throughout its curvaceous body in a flawless pattern meeting the distinctive sail-shaped rear profile. However, the misfit shapes of the tail-lamps do not go well with its unique rear body design. Along with door handles and dual exhaust pipes finished in chrome, acoustic laminated glass, the entire body is build with premium materials in order to preserve quality. Body gaps in Malibu have been trimmed down to a mere 1mm to ensure a quite and smooth ride.  Chevrolet Malibu is held on huge 18” 10-spoke bright aluminum wheels (5-spoke for 1LT and 2LT).
