Modern Good Looks The Trailblazer has a fresh and bold body style that instantly sets it apart from the crowd. We love the two-tone roof and accents that give it some flair. With a lattice grill, and iconic Chevrolet badging, this SUV has personality and charm. 2. Cavernous Cabin The potential for adventures with your new Trailblazer is endless. Looking at the outside cannot prepare you for how roomy and spacious the interior is. With the front passenger seat and back passenger seats folded flat, you can enjoy over 50 cubic feet of space. You'll also have an interior length of 8.5 feet to pack anything you need for your next journey. We also love how the second row of seats split 60/40 to allow you to fold just part of the row. As soon as you climb in the Trailblazer, it becomes apparent that Chevy was thinking about every possible scenario when they designed this vehicle. 3. Performance Options The Trailblazer has no trouble living up to its name. Adding the available all-wheel-drive system allows you the opportunity to blaze your own trails.

The standard-level engine is 1.2-liter that gets an estimated combined 29 miles per gallon.

The 2021 Chevy Malibu has received a complete overhaul for this model year. Its standard infotainment touchscreen and smartphone integration are some of the most user-friendly features available on the market today. The Malibu is particularly spacious, making this midsize sedan an ideal family car. Its upgraded turbocharged engine is an especially impressive option that appeals to both fans and critics alike. more Strong and Confident Handling The handling of the 2021 Malibu inspires incredible confidence as this sedan rounds corners smoothly and with little body roll. It maneuvers more like a sports coupe than a sedan, which is quite impressive for a vehicle that is not built to be sport-oriented. The all-season tires that come standard improve grip, giving the Malibu consistent predictability in its traction. Drivers will feel comfortable and confident with its handling abilities. Remarkably Responsive Brakes It should not come as a surprise that the brakes of the Malibu work well since every vehicle that makes it to market has been designed to stop on command. Chevy, however, has surpassed the competition by engineering the Malibu's brake pedal to be particularly responsive, making it remarkably secure. The brake pedal feels light to the touch but firms up the second it is necessary. The Malibu's gas-powered variants can make a swift panic stop, going from 60 mph to 0 mph in just 113 feet. This makes for one of the shortest stopping distances of any vehicle in its segment. Expansive Interior The 2021 Malibu is built and marketed as a midsize sedan, but once you step inside you'll feel more like you're in a small SUV. Its comfortable and spacious interior has more than enough legroom and headroom to keep everyone from feeling cramped, and passengers on long journeys will have the space to stretch their legs. The extra seat cushioning adds to the comfort level, as well. The lateral support and side bolstering of the front seats are high-quality and will hold up well throughout the lifespan of your vehicle. Smartphone App Integration Is Now Standard The 2021 Malibu now has smartphone app integration as a standard feature across its lineup. Users can seamlessly connect their compatible smartphone with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and enjoy full access to their device. Send messages, make phone calls, set navigation, and stream music from your favorite apps right from your vehicle's interface. Even the base trim of the Malibu comes standard with this compatibility, which is not something that most competitors include on lower trim levels. The infotainment system that Chevy equips the 2021 Malibu with is extremely user-friendly. The touchscreen is quite sizable at 8-inches which allows the menu displays to be clear and concise. The controls are clearly labeled, encouraging drivers to keep their eyes on the road and only glance occasionally at the interface when needed. Drivers looking for a quality sedan with a well-performing base engine should seriously consider the 2021 Malibu. Contact us today at Charles Auto Family to test drive this award-winning sedan.
