Compared with Cadillac and Buick, although the influence of the Chevrolet brand is not so high, Chevrolet models also use the technology used by the other two brands, such as this Chevrolet Taiwan Malibu XL.
It uses the 20T9AT powertrain used by the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XT5, so the output power of the Malibu XL itself is also excellent. How about this car?Is its performance reliable?Today we're going to talk about that. **In terms of aspects, the official guide price of Malibu Redline550T automatic Ruilian version is 20.49 million, with a discount of about 470,000.
Empty car trading terminals** are about 15.79 million. When all is done, the vehicle purchase tax is 13973. Container tax 480, compulsory insurance 950. 5682 commercial insurance and 500 registered licenses, totaling about 17.95 million. It is equipped with electronic parking brake, tire pressure display, rear radar, reversing camera, cruise control, panoramic sunroof, keyless entry, remote start, and large screen.
Navigation, connected cars, OTA updates, automatic headlights, sensor wipers, automatic air conditioning, active. Noise cancellation and so on are equipped. The exterior design of the Malibu XL550T is very sporty, with a very sharp polygonal grille on the front face, a black logo emphasizing performance, and a flat and low front end. The sides of the body are tight and smooth, and the back is sharp.
The dual exhaust pipes on both sides are also very dynamic, the overall appearance is more in line with the aesthetic needs of young people, the interior is solid, the material is solid, the touch is good, the functional partitions are clearly arranged, the large screen size is 8 inches, it supports navigation, Apple and Android mobile phone interconnection, and the dashboard also has a 7-inch LCD screen, the display information is clear at a glance, and the overall appearance is good.
It's considered to be at the level that this level should be. In terms of power, the car uses General Motors' 20T series engine with a 9AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 174 hp and a peak torque of 350 hp. This engine is used in many models such as Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XT5, XT6, CT5, CT6 and so on.
As you can see on the model, the power reserve is absolutely sufficient for a medium-sized car, the size of the vehicle is not small, the measurements have reached, and the wheelbase has reached 2829. It accelerates to 100 km/h in just 72 seconds!However, the interior design, workmanship and materials of the car are relatively average, so points will be deducted.
The interiors of American cars, except for Buick and Lincoln, seem to be relatively rough, with hard plastics everywhere, and the popular technology cabin, large-screen central control, and full-performance instruments are all out of reach and can't be given to you. There is a sense of class. The contrast in appearance is too great, and the design basically sacrifices the seat space, which can only be said to be generally sufficient.
As for the box, the simple summary is that the upshift is very aggressive, but the downshift logic is a bit chaotic when driving at low speeds, and the chassis is relatively stiff. And if you imagine the development of sports cars, but don't want to sacrifice too much for comfort and fuel consumption, then it's a bit of a nondescript!The once low-end Malibu XL model was replaced with a 13T three-cylinder engine.
However, sales of the Malibu XL continued to decline, and Chevrolet, aware of the problem, returned to Malibu during the annual facelift. The XL has been replaced with a four-cylinder engine of 15T, and now Malibu is available in 15T and 20T models, and either power is matched with a box of 9AT. Now the entry-level ** of 20T Malibu XL is less than 160,000 yuan after discount.
At the same price, you can only choose the 14T Volkswagen Sutar, in comparison, the cost performance of Malibu XL is immediately reflected. In general, Chevrolet is a brand owned by General Motors, the world's third-largest automobile group, and its technological research and development strength has always been related to the investment in the car series.
Although Malibu XL has a bad reputation in China, and the value retention rate of Chevrolet models has not been high, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, which cannot be compared with Japanese and German cars. However, compared to Korean and autonomous cars, the Malibu XL is not bad.
