That 2.0 turbo surprised me in my 2004 Grand Prix gtp comp g. He had no chance trying to pass me up a 3 mile steep grade though. His small turbo 4 banger was struggling why my supercharged V6 kept chugging away past 120mph 😆
55% of teenagers don't wear seat belts in the passenger seat? That's outrageous. Everybody has to wear the seatbelt in the passenger or else I'll pull over in the middle of nowhere and kick them out.
I always wore mine, still do. I know how I drive lol like a nut!! It's just drilled into me.... I usually reach for it by instinct even when moving my car 20ft in the driveway ;)
+iibrahim264 Beest way to not have injuries in your car is to not wear your seatbelt and die outright. Seatbelts big cause of broken collarbones and bruises.
good for you! seriously. I thought I was the only one that forced my passengers to wear a seatbelt. I would always tell them that if we got in an accident there head hitting the windshield would make a huge mess.
I mean all things considered, it's totally fine. I wouldn't say the acceleration of any base model mid-size is thrilling. And for those who want it, the 2.0 twin-scroll is solid.
Just got the 2018 w the 1.5 and I thought it was underwhelming as well. I do think I can optimize it in manual mode a bit more, but I did buy it for the wife. I’m curious if there will be many aftermarket turbo enhancements other mods come out for the 1.5...hmm
I was a teenager who didn't have a seatbelt on. Went straight through the windshield and stent 3 years recovering. Also did buy the "underwhelming 1.5t" Malibu fully loaded. And yes its underwhelming. But an awesome car to drive. And it will do a 100 mph.. eventually
Fun fact: In 8th gear, at 80 mph, the 2.0L engine will rev at 2080 rpm! By comparison, in 6th gear at 80 mph, the 1.5L engine will rev at 2450 rpm. If you're willing to redline it in reverse, you can go up to 50 mph with the 1.5L!
It's very encouraging to see that GM is building solid cars these days. The engineering is finally up to par with the competition and the interior quality looks to be quite good.
Correction, interior part are the ONLY thing GM is good at making. The engine assembly may look good, and it may run okay for a while, but the quality control is so weak that I'm surprised their cars are even street legal. These cars are complete death traps
+paktype Aren't motorcycles engines about that size? That car has to weigh about 3500 pounds. That turbo must be working it's ass off, especially when you have 4 people in the car and a trunk full of luggage. What's next, a 1.0 L with a turbo with 50 pounds of boost?
I have the 2016 with a 1.5. It is definitely slow, coming from a 2011 Chrysler 300 v6 and a 95 thunderbird V8. That said, it’s the most comfortable and best handling carbIve had. And the infotainment works great.

Perfect description of the car, I have a the premier one, it is very nice looking car and fully loaded for safety and entertainment, it is very powerful and have a nice ride, doing 85 mph and engine speed only around 2100-2200 rpm, passing on the highway is easy, minimum noise in the cab, excellent job chevy.
the safety features are good for kids. I appreciate chevy trying to make an attempt at a parental control function or data in a car. Other car makers should apply this to their cars too.
I was not even aware the Malibu was still in production till I saw a coworker with one. His has the 1.5 liter but it has really good room especially the trunk and the back seats that fold down. It's considered a mid size car but looks like a full size one. The Premier is definitely what I have my eyes on with that 2.0 liter putting out 250 hp it will do very nice for a road trip anywhere and still get great mpg.
After tweaking the 1.5l once you get past 50 mph it now comes alive until around 120 mph which not many people will be going that fast so it works great ❤
"If you're a teenager and you don't wear your seat belt in a car, you're pretty dumb, that's all I have to say" - Jason Fenske Oh my god! I couldn't have said it better myself! Now what we need is a twin scroll turbo charger on the STI/WRX.
from my experience people greater than 6ft tall don't usually lie about height. I am 6'1" too and I laugh out loud at people who claim to be "6ft tall" that are clearly many inches shorter than me. Then they usually claim it is who is mistaken and I must be at least 6'4" or something absurd like that.
I just picked up a 2016 Buick Regal. Just as you stated in the Malibu, I'm very happy with how the controls are laid out. The physical buttons for important things is well appreciated. Also the manual shift mode for the Trans is fun but get rid of the shift denied! If I want to shift into the next gear under 2000 rpm let me do it, make the denial limited strictly to conditions that would damage things.
I don't comment often, but when I do I comment on Engineering Explained. Great job man, you've honestly not made one bad video. I havent seen them all yet tho 😜

+Sartaj Aujla Wow this is a real techno mystery here. I hope someone can bust out a hammer and fiddle with the internet tubes a bit because 360p an hour after uploading a video is just an impossible tragedy that kids these days shouldn't be subjected to.
Great video, I really got a good idea of what the car is like and you have a great way of telling about the event and the features of the car. I love all your videos! Btw, your hair is awesome!
I believe it..I never once wore my seatbelt when I was a teenage even when I was driving lol now I always wear it. Idn why I never did..must have been the ganja!!
I honestly think if the numbers are this bad, there should almost be a transmission I mobilizer that won't allow the driver to shift out of park unless they have their seat belt buckled and all the passengers the car sense do as well. Yes there are emergency situations where having this feature may not be good, but I think in 95% of cases this would be an effective strategy to make sure people are buckling up
something I do find funny is I had a Plymouth breeze, I had to sell it and miss it once in a while. it was a 1997, 5 speed manual, 2.0L, 4 doors, and when I sold the vehicle it had about 205K miles (I believe it still works for the new owners). In PA I could get 36 to 40 MPG but if I wanted to I could spin the wheels free in first and chirp in second. so not a speed demon, but my dad and I would get giggles with how it is 19 years old now and got actual mileage equal to or higher than most hybrid's EPA estimates (which seem to be typically 25% higher than what it actually ends up being). I am hoping hybrids get smart as they get better but I thought I would mention that some vehicles were made well enough that when cared for could have some fun, get good mileage, and since they are a decade or so old they are usually cheap to get ahold of
37 USMPG highway from a 1.5? What a sad attempt GM, what a sad attempt. my old civic hatchback which was a 1.8 did 37USMPG on the highway. The Malibu needs a ECU update to make it alittle more aggressive on fuel economy.
Actually, it is a 1.5L Turbocharged I4 that makes 184LB-FT of torque (pretty much double the power of a piece of junk Civic). Not to mention that the 2016 Malibu is one of the longest cars in the mid-size sedan segment and is nearly twice the length of a Civic Hatch...
+Evan Ganske\ since when is 194" pretty much twice as much as 167"? or 184lb/ft pretty much twice as much as 129lb/ft? My hatch had plenty of leg room in the back, not to mention it could carry large heavy objects with ease
+anewacc the civic I had also come with a 1.3(marketed as a 1.4) engine and it is under-powered for the car, but it will last longer than this engine. Honda Engines are bullet proof.

Hey Jason, I had a request, if you would be able to make a video for me and other viewers about how synchronizers work... I don't know much about them unfortunately, but I heard that in order to do something called "double clutch," you need synchros. If you would make a video about what double clutching is and what it does and what synchros are and what they do, I would highly appreciate it! Keep up the incredible work with your videos, they have helped me out a lot
TBH, you lost me at "I'm also kinda surprised that Chevy's putting a 1.5 liter in a mid-sized sedan. That's pretty cool, an American car company putting this tiny engine in, ah, a pretty big sedan." :P
What they should do is make it so that the horn just honks continuously down the road if you don't have you seat belt in. It's as if you have your hand stuck to the horn. That's pretty annoying if you driving the car
+keino111689 how about an annoying "chime" that plays non stop until all seat belts are fastened. think of the warning beep when you leave the keys in, but 2x louder, and 4x more annoying
Perhaps it should be a personal choice. The assholes legislating seat belts also legislated tiny cars. Why is there no full sized car? Forcing people into tiny cars and huge trucks is a recipe for disaster. And the fuel saving devices Inc tiny engine and turbo and start stop will cost more in repairs than it saves.
Wtf is going on with teens these days. I mean is it "cool" not to wear one or are teens just lazy? You know what else is cool? Graduating college, landing your first big job, getting married, having kids, and retiring. It literally takes a 5 second to do and is well worth it
55%? That seems WAY too high. Ridiculously high. Im 19, I don't know a single person who doesn't wear their seat belt. Once or twice I'll forget to put my seat belt on if I'm sitting middle with a lap belt, but I cant imagine people driving without them. Edit: that 2,163 teen driving deaths in 2013 statistic hits a lot harder when you knew one of them.
statistics are very far from accurate due to the fact how the numbers change by the second so ignore statics my fellow teen. I'm 18 and I'm getting tired of how society is constantly degrading and blaming things on us
You would think that the car would be designed to not be able to put in drive without the seat belt being connected 'teen mode' or not, but I'm no expert.
I'll bet Chevy is excited about this car. They get to charge mid-size car prices and save money using an engine from a Geo Metro, except unfortunately it wasn't designed by Suzuki. These small hardworking, more complex turbo engines sound great, but they Don't have the longevity and reliability of a larger NA 4 cylinder or especially a small smooth V6. My own Jetta 1.8L Turbo has had more problems than any NA gas engine car I've owned, and the best mileage it has gotten was 26mpg. I could have bought a Camry V6 for the cost of maintenance and repairs on the Jetta. I'm all for advancement, but there are better ways. Also what did Chevy save by cutting out all those holes on the suspension control arms, 1/2 pound, leave them solid and retain greater strength.
+ron mortensen You're comparing a German engine to an American engine. They're very, very different in their build quality and reliability; specifically because the VW Jetta is a small, low-cost German sedan that isn't particularly known for long-term reliability or dependability. Small turbocharged engines is the direction we're headed, like it or not. I don't see them as an issue at all.
+OSTKCabal "Small turbocharged engines is the direction we're headed, like it or not." speak for yourself im throwing a supercharger on my 01 540i sportwagon for 8k all in 538hp and 484lb ft from the otherwise stock 4.4l v8 also stock i get 15mpg if you want to bend over and let "progress" have its way with you then that's your choice lmao
+Adolf Hitler Alright, Hitler. I, for one, quite enjoy the way small turbocharged engines drive. Having the torque available at significantly lower RPMs is certainly nice for city driving.
OSTKCabal i have no problem with small turbocharged engines it is the way forward for reduced emissions and whatnot im a keen driver though so i prefer what gives me the power right now not in 1 second even 1/2 a second of lag is pretty MEH in my book i guess ive been spoiled by my current collection of vehicles which all have relatively big engines and are NA i get turbos can make really good power (and a nice noise too i like the anti-lag multi gunshot variety) the forward march of turbo progress is good for me though since 2 of my cars are investments and the more new cars that are turbo the more $$$ my investments will grow so yeah in that case TURBOS FOR EVERYONE :D
+Adolf Hitler I've studied cars for 36 years, and I remember how auto reliability suffered back in the late 70's and 80's due to, reduced emissions, and increased MPG requirements. A larger NA engine should at least be offered.
I'll start by saying that I am far from a fan of GM products. Only thing I've ever really enjoyed of theirs was Test Track at Disney World and that got stuck last time I was on it, haha! That being said, I have to admit this appears to be a very nice looking design. I guess time will tell how the smaller engines hold up in a midsize.
Eh a lot of European mid-size sedans have 1.6/1.5 engines, bit I do think generally they are a bit smaller than the US mid-size sedans (VW make a European Passat and a USDM focused Passat).
I really hate Ford's MyKey system... When you rent a Ford, 99% of them, MyKey is enabled, and it locks your top spped at 80 mph. I mean, nowadays some highways in Texas' speed limit is 80
I was wondering about fuel shutoff, an engine crankshaft is on hydrodynamic bearings. Meaning it has to spin to get subricated. The startup and shutoff of the engine is where you get the wear of these bearings. Using the shutoff technology at every redlights multiply by a huge factor the "normal" amount of start-stop cycles of an engine causing a faster wear of the components. Am I wrong or are the manufacturers using a different technology to avoid the phenomenon?
I think my one complaint about the teen driver facts is the one fact about car accidents being the leading cause of death in teens. What else is supposed to kill teens? They're young and they should be healthy. So, that being said it's obviously not going to be like heart disease.
I think the usual invincible teenager excuse is "My (friend, cousin, etc.) got in an accident and they said he would have died if he was wearing a seatbelt." Ugh. As though that invalidates all of the lives that have been saved by seatbelts.
GM's 1.5t seems to be an underachiever when compared to honda's new 1.5 turbo in the civic. Even with all the tech it really does not deliver better MPG than a Accord, Altima, Mazda 6 with their big NA 4's. Seems like a risk with all that can go wrong with small turbo.

Hey Jason, I had a request, if you would be able to make a video for me and other viewers about how synchronizers work... I don't know much about them unfortunately, but I heard that in order to do something called "double clutch," you need synchros. If you would make a video about what double clutching is and what it does and what synchros are and what they do, I would highly appreciate it! Keep up the incredible work with your videos, they have helped me out a lot
lol the Ford Fusion an American sedan has had a 1.5L for a while
Not a Camry clone in styling like the previous model. I'd prefer a v6 option. I don't like turbo charging.
Pretty impressive from Chevrolet. Would still get a mazda6 though, no doubt about it.
TBH, you lost me at "I'm also kinda surprised that Chevy's putting a 1.5 liter in a mid-sized sedan. That's pretty cool, an American car company putting this tiny engine in, ah, a pretty big sedan." :P
Ha! I enjoyed how much of this video was a rant about safe driving and how bad T-Mobile's coverage is.
What they should do is make it so that the horn just honks continuously down the road if you don't have you seat belt in. It's as if you have your hand stuck to the horn. That's pretty annoying if you driving the car
True, but it's also really distracting to other drivers
+keino111689 how about an annoying "chime" that plays non stop until all seat belts are fastened. think of the warning beep when you leave the keys in, but 2x louder, and 4x more annoying
yeah that might work just as well. but that would would just make you so conspicuous.
Perhaps it should be a personal choice. The assholes legislating seat belts also legislated tiny cars. Why is there no full sized car? Forcing people into tiny cars and huge trucks is a recipe for disaster. And the fuel saving devices Inc tiny engine and turbo and start stop will cost more in repairs than it saves.
This was pretty funny. I enjoyed it, reminded me of the minivan review.
Wtf is going on with teens these days. I mean is it "cool" not to wear one or are teens just lazy? You know what else is cool? Graduating college, landing your first big job, getting married, having kids, and retiring. It literally takes a 5 second to do and is well worth it
I love the T-Mobil rant lol. Regarding the car wifi - is that a monthly fee through On-Star or something?
almost as fast as my v6 makes 0_60. in 6.1 seconds amaizing
Damn, you had a Model S beside you and a 2016 Lexus RX in front. Lucky.
It's Palo Alto haha, those were the poor folks of my drive.
55%? That seems WAY too high. Ridiculously high. Im 19, I don't know a single person who doesn't wear their seat belt. Once or twice I'll forget to put my seat belt on if I'm sitting middle with a lap belt, but I cant imagine people driving without them.
Edit: that 2,163 teen driving deaths in 2013 statistic hits a lot harder when you knew one of them.
statistics are very far from accurate due to the fact how the numbers change by the second so ignore statics my fellow teen. I'm 18 and I'm getting tired of how society is constantly degrading and blaming things on us
+Chris Peoples How is that statistic blaming you for anything?
"Alright let's slow down and floor it.....yeah that's underwhelming"
So glad you mentioned seat belts and teens. Horrible stats.
55% of teens dont wear a seatbelt? Thats absolute bull
You didn't comment on the performance (0 to 60mph) with the 2litre turbo???
11:35 you didn’t watch the hole video
I would be happy with a 1.5 with a turbo that has 160 HP... xD
You would think that the car would be designed to not be able to put in drive without the seat belt being connected 'teen mode' or not, but I'm no expert.
I'll bet Chevy is excited about this car. They get to charge mid-size car prices and save money using an engine from a Geo Metro, except unfortunately it wasn't designed by Suzuki. These small hardworking, more complex turbo engines sound great, but they Don't have the longevity and reliability of a larger NA 4 cylinder or especially a small smooth V6. My own Jetta 1.8L Turbo has had more problems than any NA gas engine car I've owned, and the best mileage it has gotten was 26mpg. I could have bought a Camry V6 for the cost of maintenance and repairs on the Jetta.
I'm all for advancement, but there are better ways. Also what did Chevy save by cutting out all those holes on the suspension control arms, 1/2 pound, leave them solid and retain greater strength.
+ron mortensen You're comparing a German engine to an American engine. They're very, very different in their build quality and reliability; specifically because the VW Jetta is a small, low-cost German sedan that isn't particularly known for long-term reliability or dependability. Small turbocharged engines is the direction we're headed, like it or not. I don't see them as an issue at all.
+OSTKCabal "Small turbocharged engines is the direction we're headed, like it or not."
speak for yourself
im throwing a supercharger on my 01 540i sportwagon for 8k all in
538hp and 484lb ft from the otherwise stock 4.4l v8
also stock i get 15mpg
if you want to bend over and let "progress" have its way with you then that's your choice lmao
+Adolf Hitler Alright, Hitler. I, for one, quite enjoy the way small turbocharged engines drive. Having the torque available at significantly lower RPMs is certainly nice for city driving.
OSTKCabal
i have no problem with small turbocharged engines
it is the way forward for reduced emissions and whatnot
im a keen driver though so i prefer what gives me the power right now not in 1 second
even 1/2 a second of lag is pretty MEH in my book
i guess ive been spoiled by my current collection of vehicles which all have relatively big engines and are NA
i get turbos can make really good power (and a nice noise too i like the anti-lag multi gunshot variety)
the forward march of turbo progress is good for me though since 2 of my cars are investments and the more new cars that are turbo the more $$$ my investments will grow
so yeah in that case TURBOS FOR EVERYONE :D
+Adolf Hitler I've studied cars for 36 years, and I remember how auto reliability suffered back in the late 70's and 80's due to, reduced emissions, and increased MPG requirements. A larger NA engine should at least be offered.
Can you measure interior noise in your future reviews. Highway noise is one of my most important when buying cars.
Thanks for all yours great video .... What is the best cars or suv for a tall guy of 6.4 ? best legroom ?
Towncar
05:52 I for sure thought that guy was going to pull out in front of you
excellent review
i had a question how fast does it take to go to 60mph in the 2.0 l turbo
6.7 seconds
at sea level its 6.2
I'll start by saying that I am far from a fan of GM products. Only thing I've ever really enjoyed of theirs was Test Track at Disney World and that got stuck last time I was on it, haha! That being said, I have to admit this appears to be a very nice looking design. I guess time will tell how the smaller engines hold up in a midsize.
Does the premier take premium gas?
Eh a lot of European mid-size sedans have 1.6/1.5 engines, bit I do think generally they are a bit smaller than the US mid-size sedans (VW make a European Passat and a USDM focused Passat).
More rants please!!
How would you compare this car to the 2015 Hyundai sonata 2.0t???
Chevrolet Malibu, the car for Daaaaaaaaaaaads......
i dont know i single teen who doesn't wear a seat belt
You look like professor randy who wrote "the last lecture."
Does it have an external water pump?
I really hate Ford's MyKey system... When you rent a Ford, 99% of them, MyKey is enabled, and it locks your top spped at 80 mph. I mean, nowadays some highways in Texas' speed limit is 80
Is it worth the price for the highest trim level?
Did they drop the diesel engine option?
I was wondering about fuel shutoff, an engine crankshaft is on hydrodynamic bearings. Meaning it has to spin to get subricated. The startup and shutoff of the engine is where you get the wear of these bearings. Using the shutoff technology at every redlights multiply by a huge factor the "normal" amount of start-stop cycles of an engine causing a faster wear of the components. Am I wrong or are the manufacturers using a different technology to avoid the phenomenon?
Lubricated instead of subricated
T-Mobile is horrible, but ATT is worst, Been on Sprint never been happier leaving VZW a lot has changed
try driving on interstates, Sprint will quit as soon as you leave your town.
Do you have a review on the 2017 model?
will this be the base for the new Opel Insignia?
Thank you Chevy for not putting CTV
I think my one complaint about the teen driver facts is the one fact about car accidents being the leading cause of death in teens. What else is supposed to kill teens? They're young and they should be healthy. So, that being said it's obviously not going to be like heart disease.
I think the usual invincible teenager excuse is "My (friend, cousin, etc.) got in an accident and they said he would have died if he was wearing a seatbelt." Ugh. As though that invalidates all of the lives that have been saved by seatbelts.
what about drunk teens texting while wearing no seat belt ?
GM's 1.5t seems to be an underachiever when compared to honda's new 1.5 turbo in the civic. Even with all the tech it really does not deliver better MPG than a Accord, Altima, Mazda 6 with their big NA 4's. Seems like a risk with all that can go wrong with small turbo.
haha classic, here in Europe a NA 1.5 l engine is completly normal, even in a mid size sedan.
having trouble with my ipod 160 classic synching with my mylink! It will play a couple songs then freeze up or just disappear altogether on the screen. Is there a software update to correct this problem? ...thank you for help!
