The latest hybrid from Chevrolet, the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid LT, is hitting the market at the starting price of $28,645, making it more affordable than Tesla cars. This vehicle is the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt.
Technology Inspires Chevrolet to Release a World Class Hybrid
The car’s drive unit has been slightly modified to keep up with the latest technology, offering 48 mpg. It’s the highest in the midsize car class. The Next-Gen Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid LT features Apple CarPlay, and it is compatible with Android Auto. It has a rear-vision camera. On the less tech-heavy features, it has 10 airbags, cruise control and a push-button start feature with passive entry.
Next-Gen Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid Also Has Great Safety Features
Safety is a definite pillar of a good car, and this next-gen Chevrolet Malibu hybrid features Lane Keep assist, Front Pedestrian Braking and a Low-Speed Front Automatic Braking feature. It also has a very interesting new feature called Teen Driver, which encourages safe driving habits. It mutes the audio and any device plugged into the car when the people in the front seat aren’t wearing their seatbelts.
GM Is Investing in Cars of the Future
General Motors has faced quite a few hardships throughout 2015, and it’s kicking up its research and development for their future models. The brand is changing and adapting to the trends coming up in the automotive industry all over the world. It’s obvious the recalls it has suffered are just a bump on the road, as many people rely on General Motors to be the one true American car that is representative of the people and of American hardware.
Tesla, on the other hand, has proven to be a lot of bark but very little bite. Surely enough, they too will hike up technology and bring some more concrete advertising come next year.
