The 2006 Malibu SS and Malibu Maxx SS add excitement to the Malibu lineup, bringing
a level of value-driven performance unique within the mid-car segment. The Malibu
SS and Malibu Maxx SS are powered by a new, sophisticated 3.9L V-6 that uses
variable valve timing and variable intake technology to help produce 240 horsepower
(179 kw).* Unique interior and exterior appointments, along with sport-tuned
suspensions and segment-largest 18-inch flangeless wheels, complete the SS
packages.
All '06 Malibu and Malibu Maxx models feature a new front-end appearance, with a
sleek, dual-port grille design. LS, LT and LTZ models feature horizontal grilles
with chrome trim surrounds, while Malibu SS and Malibu Maxx SS models feature
grilles with a crosshatch pattern and platinum-look surrounds. Also, all '06 Malibu
and Malibu Maxx models receive body-color side moldings for a more integrated and
upscale appearance.
Malibu and Malibu Maxx deliver the performance and versatility of the best midsize
sedans with the dependability and value that customers expect from Chevrolet. The
two body styles are adaptable to different individuals and lifestyles, with
flexible interiors and a full range of driver personalization features.
From the B-pillar forward, the Malibu sedan and Malibu Maxx are identical. The
five-door Malibu Maxx rides on a wheelbase that is 6 inches (15.2 cm) longer than
the Malibu sedan, while its overall length is a half-inch (1.3 cm) shorter. The
result is a spacious interior for a car its size that offers clever and convenient
cargo capabilities.
For 2006, Malibu and Malibu Maxx offerings begin with the well-equipped LS model
and include LT and new LTZ models – the base Malibu model has been eliminated.
Then, of course, there are the SS models; performance versions with a unique style
and driving experience.
All '06 Malibu and Malibu Maxx models feature standard power-assisted driver's seat
height adjuster, tilt/telescoping steering column, CD-equipped audio system, power
windows, door locks and mirrors. Power-assisted adjustable brake and accelerator
pedals are standard on LTZ and available on LT. Manual lumbar support is standard
on LT and LTZ models.
Malibu and Malibu Maxx also offer a factory-installed remote vehicle starter
system, allowing the driver to get a head start on the car's interior heating and
cooling from a range of up to 200 feet (61 m). It is standard on LT, LTZ and SS
models, and equipped for dealer activation on LS models.
Three new exterior colors are available in '06, including Sandstone Metallic,
Silverstone Metallic and, available on uplevel models, Laser Blue Metallic. The new
colors replace Galaxy Silver Metallic and Light Driftwood Metallic.
