2013 Chevrolet Malibu ECO Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! UA-cam's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth look at the all new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu ECO! The Malibu is first being offered only in ECO trim with a 2.4L 4cyl engine paired with an electric motor for increased efficiency. Later this year we will see the introduction of both a standard 2.5L 4cyl and a 2.0L Turbo engine to replace the V6 from the previous gen. This vehicle also has navigation so I will be going over how to use all of those features. During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of UA-cam!

I love this gen Malibu, specifically in the LS trim
so excited to get this car in a few months
Did you get it
Did you get it
My personal favorite generation of the Chevy Malibu.
Brad Meyer I had the year before. It was junk. And endless money pit.
Brad Meyer same
Fr the other ones blew it 😂💩
Me too
I like the 2004 generation
I drove one today, loved it, drives and rides like a much more expensive car, very very quiet. This car has a wonderful sound system, and looks ten times better live.
I rented a 2014 Malibu LTZ (without nav) and it was fantastic remote start, auto lift trunk, leather, good size screen. The model I had came with turbo. Auto stop start was alittle rough but overall gave good fuel economy
Yeah, I have Auto-Stop. It scares me a lot...
***** When you stop at a light, you car turns off while you have your foot on the break, until let off the break and accelerate.
+Double m4n'z I rented it so I don't have it anymore but I never wanted to get rid of it honestly
chris lewis it’s a super nice car, the only reason why the newest Malibu has no leatherette seats is because people that had the LTZ complained because the low trims had everything the same... smh people complain to much now days ... LT is probably the perfect trim
chris lewis you honestly get a better deal with a Malibu, saving gas, perfect sounding radio, 7” touch screen radio standard and you get leather seats with a perfect styling exterior, and a perfect interior.... omg i sound like a car salesmen... I should be one 😂
This is my favourite Malibu. I'm not normally a GM person but I really like this car
I love this car and am very impressed. It's a bit big on the outside (height-wise in a few ways), but I love it, and no one can change my opinion of it.
I love how chevy’s chime sounds a lot like that wheel of fortune TV game
I wish the chime sounds like the price is right
Wow, what great design, fit, finish, and technology. If it's reliable it's a winner in my book. I'm really impressed!
The 2.0L Turbocharged would be SICK if it came with a 3.6L Twin-Turbocharged, OMG. ❤️ IN Saint Louis, most dealers are selling the 2014 Malibu 1LS for just below $16,000, which is amazing...
The SD card slot is nice, but I don't think I want to view photos while driving. lol
Drrck11 cant it be used for mp3s

I have a 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid. I went to test drive this 2013 Malibu and I was very impressed. Then I decided to change my Toyota for this one. The Malibu runs better then Camry. Driving the Malibu was funner then driving my Camry. Great job Chevy and GM. Boo Toyota
This is one of the prettiest Chevrolets I have seen in a long time!!
Wow, they are even more stylish. Definitely a big change. These are pretty sharp looking.
GM is doing good. They are really starting to get back into the game! :)
Love the car and the interior!
I take that back....every vehicle is either hated or loved. You have the right to express your opinions. :)
The 2013 Malibu is my favorite sedan in the class.
I love Chevrolet products. I'm an owner of a 2015 Malibu 1LT and a 2013 Sonic 2LT. Both of the cars are pleasant to me. Both at a fair price. ($18,000 for the Sonic, $27,000 for the Malibu). They both come with lots of features. Sonic features: MyLink, 16" white painted rims, remote start, premium sound system, 0-60= 8.6 seconds. Malibu features: MyLink, Backup cam, sunroof, remote start, premium sound system, ECO package. 0-60 = 7.7 seconds (2.5L).
Ayannah ♥ gear head 💪👍👍
Thanks for the video! This new Malibu is a good example of the direction GM (and the American auto industry in general) ought to be going.
You do the best car reviews keep up the good work Kyle
Honestly, GM has the best car interiors I've ever seen... I always wondered how Honda, Nissan, Toyota and other "better" brands are so behind GM when it comes to the interior quality
In my opinion Kyle you have the best videos on youtube :)
I had one then i traded it in for a Trax. The malibu was a very nice car. If I ever need a sedan, I'll definitely look for one of these generations.
American cars have come a long way baby, just in the last two years. There are definite improvements in build quality.
Very impressive and so much better than the previous generation!! Especially the interior. Well done GM! Now, please do the same to the Impala.
My old '84 Chevette used to shut down at red traffic lights and stop signs.
Chevy was already ahead of its time!
This is my dream car!! Wonderful job Kyle.
your vids get better and better.
such a pleasure to watch it.
Thanks!
Excellent tour Kyle. Love the car's ergonomics. And yes, you should consider adding test drives to your videos. Just add a minute or two giving us your take on 0-60, ride and comfort. Please consider. Your vids are really informative.
Man I would KILL for a job like yours... man you must be VERY happy to have it.
I own a 13' 2LZ in premium red with tan leather, and every option available. It is one of the best cars I've ever owned.
this was a very useful reference video for a potential buyer. thanks for the time you took... one of the most thorough i've seen!
O I love that steering wheel design.. there's something I never thought id say
Gm has come a long way with their vehicles
I just got one of these. It's my first car
How is it so far? I was thinking about getting it for my first car
@@kingcellous2587 I love it. It drives like absolute butter and it's great on gas not to mention it's a really pretty car and their pretty affordable. I'd say go for it👌
@@novanebula8004 do you still recommend it
@@toasterstrudel7797 Still have mine haven't really had any issues with it if the price range and mileage are good I'd consider it
@@novanebula8004my gf getting one, still good?
I live in North Dakota, the gas here is about $3.65/gal. But the temperature get's to be about -30F to -40F in the winter. We use block heaters but they only keep the engine warm enough to start. Auto start lets us warm the inside of the car without letting it sit running with the key in the ignition.
Actually the interieur of the car look really high-quality and nicely furnished. Like it a lot.
I like the white color. In one word: beautiful Chevrolet Malibu.
Elegant, Unique and Beautiful.
I bought a 2013 Chevy Malibu ECO LTZ with Sirius XM radio and Hands free calling Not push to start It is Raven Black and a Cream interior like on the video and Chrome Accenting
Yea true, and I kinda want to take that back because I saw one just like this yesterday and I actually liked it! It had a muscular back end that I really liked
Chevy finally gets how to do modern interiors
i love this channel so much this guy is really doing great job
That is not a bad looking car for being a Chevy! They have just continually been making giant leaps and bounds in the quality department, especially for their interiors. This car certainly looks like it has its fair share of creature comforts.
Beautiful, GM is making the best vehicles they have ever made now. They definitely deserved the bailout!
I've seen this car today on the street and it looks sooo beautiful!
your the best !!!!
I bought the malibu because of this video
Niiiiiiice! Fast upload, thanks man!
Hope they bring this to the Philippines, then it would be a tough compet
Oh my gosh I love this version of malibu
The cupholders in the center console also come out and there is more hidden storage underneath the cupholders.
It seems like this has a hybrid drive system similar to that of Honda's IMA. It's a parallel hybrid drive, where the electric motor is only there to assist the spark ignition engine in driving, and providing electricity for the vehicle at a stop. What's interesting to me is how the electric motor is apparently belt driven, rather than fixed to the end of the crankshaft. Pretty neat!
You always make a great video. I'm never disappointed when i watch your video's. A very clear picture of the cars, not to far away from the car, not to fast with the camera. And not to close to the vehicle. Great job. Lookout foward to your next video. @BeeStrong.
man you are the best in business!!!!💪💪
Now you will want to do the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu. Even though it is mostly the same as the 2013 they dropped this 2.4 Eco engine. They did small interior designs and added start/stop to the 2.5. They also changed the front grill on the 2014.
ArthinuxWilliams do you think I can put the 2014 front bumper on the 2013?
The projector lens in the headlights, almost look to have a slight purple hue when you look at it at a certain angle
wow chevy really made improvements this is the first car from chevrolet in a long time that will really compete with the toyota camry and honda accord.
i agree about the lacking fuel economy but looks are subjective. i think this looks waaaay better than the new altima
much nicer than the old one
Not bad for a malibu, amazing fuel economy too.
This is actually a great vehicle. I'm impressed with the improved build quality and good looks. However it still falls short of the awesome Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata and 2013 Ford Fusion. But this vehicle offers plenty to be competitive.
My dad use to have a 2003 base. It was great for the 10 years we had it
Yes, I would also like to see this, preferably with the options package.
I really think the "engine overspeed" message is completely unnecessary. The car has enough systems onboard to prevent a bad situation anyway. You took a really big risk turning this radio on too, very lucky to not have gotten a copyright strike lol.
This is a really nice car. It is a good way to compete with the Sonata/Optima
The best of both worlds!
looks like a really cool car! thanks for explaining the switch below the head unit, I was really curious as to what that was for!
Thanks for all the hard work Kyle!
I wish he would do test drives.
that was the fastest "hey everyone how is it going" ever
I hope the newer 2015+ Malibu are better, because I got a 2013 as a loaner with a 2.5L and I hated every moment of it. The only thing I liked was the surprisingly smooth start-stop and the hidden center console storage which I sister jokingly referred to as the "crack/gun pocket".
love this car, have premium styling of mid class sedan with leather.. will buying it soon, i will..
thank you mate ,,I was not paying attention
just got it today. thanks for the info
TJ King how did it work out? Lol.
TJ King u still got it?
It looks absolutely massive. A truly impressive car, but, I guess it's just too big for me... But still gorgeous.
Looking forward to 2013 Mustang!! Hope to see it soon!
Damn this is actually a nice looking car...
Kyle, you should start giving the MPG info in your videos! It's really helpful!
have been among the first to see the video!
Just to clarify, the backup camera is not exclusive to units with navigation. It's also available on units equipped with the 7" ColorTouch Radio. It does not come with guidance lines, however.
WOW what a perfect design
I've watched so many reviews on this car and this is by far the best also I'm thinking about buying this car. Is it a good first car?
I was thinking this or 2010 BMW 328i can't decide |-:
@@theNickolasDean bmws are super unreliable. never recommend
@@kjleday4358 ended up w an Audi and couldn’t be happier 😁
@@theNickolasDean That’s what I want for my first. Let me know what year and model
@@kjleday4358 it’s a 2020 e-tron nicest car I’ve ever had
That 2004 Grand Prix is the Best dam car Gm made with that 3800 engine.
I LOVE YOU KYLE!!!
Awesome review Kyle
The woodgrain accenting looks like it was inspired from the previous gen's LTZ model, it's nice. The 2.4 sounds just like mine does in my 2011 so it must be the LE5 or close to it.
I see, over here we use a engine block heater and a heating fan to warm our cars up.. is electricity more expensive over there or is it the gas that's cheap?
I have the 01 Malibu..its amazing how far its came!
Nice looking car overall, especially the interior, not especially too stoked about that "racer" dash or steering wheel. Furthermore its hard to miss the Camry influence on the front end and some of the curves, almost looks like the marriage of a Camaro and Camry. Nevertheless this has always been one of the better cars from Chevy. After seeing the new Cruze I was curious to see what direction the Malibu would take and so far this is impressive.
Great video as always Kyle! But to quote Intechdude300 "That startup sounds something out of the 1960s"
NICELY DONE
I prefer the 2013 Chevy Malibu LTZ.
I love this car
How are you doing Kyle. Are you planning on reviewing the 2011-2012 Infiniti M56s? I've been waiting patiently for years! LOL. No pressure though, I'll still continue to patiently wait.
You are a wonderful man in the imaging and comment
What's the point of remote start, does it have some kind of useful benefit besides being fancy?
when he pauses it at the beginning the instrument cluster reminds me of someone looking at me in an army helmet and a gas mask or goggles. LOL :)
Where are you from? Auto-start comes factory installed in many modern American cars, plus they are set to only run for 10 minutes or so.
Seriously, for a Chevy, this is pretty damn luxurious.
Holden will get this soon.named under the All new Holden Malibu.the Malibu seems to be the first Holden to have auto start.
Wow this is the Exact same color and interior as our 2013 Malibu Eco
