Chevrolet Malibu Sedan
The Chevrolet Malibu sedan was first introduced in 1997 on an extended wheelbase version of the GM N platform. This same platform was also shared with the Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Achieva, Oldsmobile Alero and Pontiac Grand Am. The Malibu replaced the Chevrolet Corsica. The Malibu was available in I4 and V6 engines, each with different power ratings; the 2.4 L I4 engine offering 150 hp (112 kW) and the 3.1 L V6 offering 155 hp (116 kW) before being updated in 2000 to 170 hp (127 kW). The production of the Malibu switched from Oklahoma City Assembly plant (2002) and the Wilmington Assembly plant (1997-99) to Lansing, Michigan. In 2004, an updated Malibu was introduced on the Epsilon platform and the N-body Malibu was renamed the Chevrolet Classic and restricted to rental cars and fleet orders. An Ecotec 2.2 L 4-cylinder engine was also offered on the Classic with a EPA estimated fuel mileage of 21 mpg-US (11 L/100 km; 25 mpg-imp)-31 mpg-US (7.6 L/100 km; 37 mpg-imp). The Malibu logo was on the front grille for 1997-99 models and the blue Chevrolet emblem for 2000-03 models. Models produced from 1997-99 were sometimes equipped with gold-colored badges on the rear Malibu lettering and logo.
