Chevrolet Malibu Maxx SS
The Chevrolet Malibu name was moved to the new Epsilon platform for 2004, with the previous car being known as the Chevrolet Classic and used mainly for car rental and fleet use. The new Epsilon-based Malibu offers two bodystyles - a 4-door sedan and a 4-door station wagon known as the Malibu Maxx, which is the first station wagon by Chevrolet following the ending of the production of the Caprice wagon in 1996. Upon its release, the Malibu Maxx design featured a large grille split by a prominent chrome bar that ran across the entire car to give it a similar look to the brand's trucks. Its front end underwent a redesign for 2006, with the removal of the chrome bar and the grille being made smaller, resembling the one from the previous-generation Malibu.
The 2004 range of engine-types include a 2.2 L Ecotec L61 I4 with 145 hp (108 kW), a 3.5 L 200 hp (149 kW) High Value LX9 V6 on LS and LT trims, and the range finishing off with a 3.9 L 240 hp High Value LZ9 V6 available on both sedan and Maxx SS models. In 2007, the LX9 V6 was replaced by the LZ4 V6, which outputs 217 hp (162 kW). An additional feature of a remote starter became available in 2004. The Malibu is built at the GM Fairfax #2 factory in Kansas City, Kansas.
