2012 Chevrolet Malibu ECO Review

2012 Chevrolet Malibu ECO Review |Next to the 2013 Malibu, Chevrolet also brought at the New York Auto Show the Eco version, a model that comes equipped with new fuel-saving eAssist technology. The new Eco version will be sold next to the Malibu LS, LT and LTZ version starting the summer of 2012.

The 2013 Malibu is Chevy’s latest efforts in creating more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly cars and is one that will be sold in 100 additional countries next to the US of A.

Power comes from a basic 2.4L Ecotech direct-injection four-pot paired with an electric motor-generator that prides itself as being only 65 pounds, which is an impressive feat. All of that power is transferred through a new six-speed automatic. The result is a total of 180 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque from the four-banger with an extra 15 hp available from electric power assistance during heavy acceleration.

The eAssist mild-hybrid Eco model doesn't look appreciably different from the standard 2.5-liter range, despite registering 26 mpg in the city and 38 out on the highway. Alterations include 17-inch wheels on low rolling-resistance tires, four underbody shields that cover about 50 percent of the vehicle's dirty bits, as well as model-specific side mirrors and the expected badging.

Inside, more Camaro influence can be seen thanks to items like the 'squircle' gauges. Materials are noticeably richer than before, and high-end detailing like contrasting ice blue stitching on the LTZ's leather seats and increased ambient lighting lend the cabin a more premium aura.

Malibu ECO is among the first in the midsize segment with a fuel-saving, active shutter system in the lower grille. The Malibu ECO’s active shutter system automatically closes airflow through the lower intake opening when air intake is least needed. When closed, the shutter system enhances aero performance by redirecting airflow around the front of the vehicle and down the sides, rather than through it. The shutter is open or closed based on engine coolant temperature and speed. For example, the shutters open when the car is traveling up a hill, pulling a trailer, or in hot city driving; the shutters close at highway speeds when engine cooling is less required.

Specification Suzuki APV SGX Arena

PT Indomobil Suzuki Sales did not launch a variant of their best-selling MPV, APV. However, in booth Indonesia International Motor Show, Suzuki, Suzuki APV beautifully framed.

Seeing the design and interior configuration, APV Arena is no longer referred to as a family vehicle. Because seating is available only four: two in front and two behind.

"The concept is a luxury vehicle. Suitable to serve business partners, "said Edwin, the designer who participated monitor consumer interest towards creations at booth Suzuki. Hence, the cost of modifying the APV is big enough and he said out of about USD 120 million. Therefore, if sold, the price of this APV could reach USD 250 million!

Mini Alphard

APV appearance is, at first glance like a Toyota Alphard, so called Mini Alphard. For that, Edwin must replace the bumper and use the spoiler with a model of "Dower". Also there are additional side skirt on both side of the body.

Another significant change is the rear fender or sepatbor and fourth. Size fourth fatter fenders. The goal, in addition to providing an exclusive appearance, for 20-inch tire and rim can be installed properly and make the vehicle able to walk with a normal condition.

Even so, it turns out fender fat resulted in both the front door would not open normally. Angle open doors shrink and cause the driver or front passenger's rather difficult to get into the cockpit. But the system is open both side doors replaced a sliding model, a unique change,

Interior designed by Edwin on APV interesting. In the space available passengers only two seats with individual design, and equipped with adjustable arm rest. Boundary space between the cockpit and rear passengers, used to put on top of the minibar and put 20-inch LCD monitor. "I equip cars with surround sound systems. Thus owners and passengers can enjoy the spectacle while traveling, "said Edwin.

Although not using genuine leather, seats and interior trim are coated with MB Tech ivory products, thus giving the impression of luxury and exclusivity. APV Be this as the original luxury minivan, which is really born from the Earth Indonesia, ranging from unit to design and creativity for modification.


Fun anymore, New APV Arena was only appropriate to make passengers more comfortable, especially with added seat middle row captain seat type.

Then the big question, is this the successor of Suzuki APV? For as in previous years, Suzuki always show the first prototype model on the mat like IIMS before eventually launched.

However, if you can not wait to have APV with a view like that, please reach for the pocket more of USD 40 million, to be brought to the garage of the house.

Suzuki price prices on the road to the Suzuki APV SGX Arena is worth USD 201 million.
