The Chevrolet Malibu Maxx is a 4-door station wagon released in 2004. It is Chevrolet's first station wagon since the discontinuation of the Chevrolet Caprice wagon in 1996. This generation of the Malibu initially debuted with a front facia design featuring a wide grille split horizontally by a prominent chrome bar that ran the entire width of the car. However, for 2006 this was updated with more conventional styling, with the chrome bar removed and the grill made smaller, bearing a resemblence to the grille on the previous generation Malibu. The Malibu Maxx competes with the Dodge Magnum and other station wagons.
Base power comes from a 2.2 L Ecotec L61 I4 which produces 145 hp (108 kW). LS and LT trims get a 3.5 L 200 hp (149 kW) High Value LX9 V6 while both sedan and Maxx SS models are powered by the 3.9 L 240 hp High Value LZ9. For 2007, the LX9 was replaced with the LZ4 V6, which in the Malibu produces 217 hp (162 kW). A remote starter is also available, which was introduced on several other GM vehicles for 2004. The Malibu is manufactured at GM's Fairfax #2 factory in Kansas City, Kansas.
