About this generation

For 2008, Chevrolet launched a redesigned Malibu on the Epsilon II platform with a larger body and more upscale proportions. This phase replaced the earlier 2004–2007 Malibu in the U.S. market and continued through 2012. It is the first Malibu generation to align closely with the global Malibu strategy.
