The 2013 Chevy Malibu Wins Yet Another Safety Award

You just can’t stop excellence. The safety record of the 2013 Chevy Malibu, one of the more popular models here at Cox Chevy in Bradenton, demonstrates this like few other other vehicles. The 2013 Chevy Malibu sedan not only offers the space and performance that drivers expect with a large car, but adds a reputation as one of the safest cars on the road today.

Trusted Abroad and at Home

The China New Car Assessment Program recently honored the 2013 Malibu with a five-star safety rating, the top award in the program. This should come as no surprise; Chevy engineers designed the 2013 Malibu with an intention to exceed the safety standards of more than 100 different countries. That work has payed off in full, as the Malibu has received top honors in controlled crash tests in North America, Europe, South Korea, and Australia.

The Malibu was chosen as a 2013 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, one of the nation’s most trusted institutions in vehicle safety testing. To earn this distinction, vehicles must earn “good” ratings (the highest score possible) in the the moderate frontal overlap test, side impact, rollover and rear tests. A moderate frontal overlap crash occurs when only a portion of the vehicle comes in contact with an obstacle in its path.

More Than Just a Strong Body

A solid cage and a complete system of airbags assisted the Malibu’s rock-solid body in passing crash tests with flying colors. And a full suite of active safety features helps keep the Malibu out of danger in the first place, leaving the crash safety systems as a last resort. These active safety features include:

• Forward collision alert
• A Stabilitrak stability control system
• Lane departure warning
• A tire pressure monitoring system
• Rear park assist and a rear vision camera
