The Malibu turbo has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 21 city (11.2 Increased efficiency in all of the new Ecotec engines is achieved in part through lower engine friction, which was reduced by up to 16% using new technologies such as a variable-displacement oil pump. Modular balance shaft system in the oil pan.

Running on 87 octane, the front wheels (all-wheel drive is not available) are driven through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that has five driver selectable drive modes of Eco, Normal, Sport, Slippery and Snow/Sand. If it is cold outside or the battery charge is low, then the engine kicks-in as it does under heavy acceleration.

To maximize performance and efficiency there are five driver selectable drive modes of Conserve, Normal, Excite, Slippery and Snow/Sand. There is a sixth mode of Preserve, which saves the battery charge for later use. In addition to the regenerative charging, the 14.4 Charge times from an empty battery are: Level 1 120V 10.5

1 in the LAF engine) is also possible due to a cooling effect as the injected fuel vaporizes in the combustion chamber. This cooling effect reduces the charge temperature reducing the likelihood of spark knock. Ecotec engine had the fuel injectors mounted to inject fuel into the intake ports. In contrast, the previous 2.4L

Furthermore, their single-scroll design allows for more efficient collection of exhaust as it escapes from within the cylinders. Intake and exhaust variable cam timing (VTC) is deployed to provide an excellent balance of high power, torque, fuel economy, and emissions. With the newly designed twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter
