Chevrolet Malibu first appeared before the public in 2014. In fact, the model is the first planned restyling of the eighth generation, presented in 2012. It will not be difficult to distinguish the new product from its predecessor, it has stylish elongated headlights with lensed optics and elegant sections of daytime running lights.
The radiator grille has a rather unusual shape, it consists of many small plastic cells and is cut in the upper part by a cover plate with the logo of the American manufacturer. Below, along the edges of the front bumper, are niches with large round fog lamps. In general, the car has received many pleasant cosmetic changes but has not lost its charm and everything is also perfectly recognizable on the road.
