First released way back in 1964, the Chevy Malibu has come a long way in the last 60 years. As one of Chevrolet's flagship mid-size cars, the company has kept it in tune with today's times and ensured it always stays relevant in an ever-changing world. Now, there's a new 2022 model that has just come out, and it's loaded full of many features that make it a truly exciting car to own. Tons of Safety Features 2022 Chevy Malibu Nothing is more important than keeping you and your family safe on the road, which is why Chevrolet has attached a wide variety of safety features to the new Malibu. Front-Pedestrian Braking and Automatic Emergency Braking technologies watch the road in front of you and will apply the emergency brakes if a collision is imminent, and Blind Spot Alert will inform you when there is another car in your blind spot when you are on the highway. Teen Driving Technology It can be nerve-racking when your teenager begins to drive on their own, and many parents will want to be there with them during their first few weeks or months on the road, which isn't always possible. Thankfully, with Teen Driving Technology as standard on the new Malibu, parents can set a speed alert, maximum volume limit, and many other things that they would normally do if they were in the passenger seat. Adaptive Cruise Control Do your feet get sore after a few hours of driving on the highway? Then give them a break for a while with the Adaptive Cruise Control system on the new Malibu. Using cameras mounted on the front of the car, this system will ensure you remain a safe distance from the car in front while maintaining a safe speed. This can be turned on or off at the push of a button. Smartphone Connection It's never been more important to have everything connected, and with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as standard, it's never been easier either! The system is simple to set up, and once you have your phone connected, you can control everything on your device with your voice. If you want more integration then you can also pay a small fee extra to get a built-in Alexa. These are just a few of the features that make the new Chevrolet Malibu such a great car to own. From its wide variety of safety features to its technologically advanced computer system, there are really tons of reasons to love this car.

The Tahoe combines excellent accommodations for passengers with the pure towing power of pickup trucks. As Chevy's second-largest SUV, the unique trim levels and redesigned engines make this SUV the top performer in its class. Engine Options Drivers can choose from six different trims, but there are three unique engine options. The standard engine option for the Tahoe is the 355-HP V-8 engine, which is already one of the best-performing engines for vehicles this size. Some trims also have a more robust 420-HP V-8 engine for additional performance power. For drivers who are looking for ample torque, the Tahoe also has a six-cylinder diesel engine option. Enhanced Features Chevy has gone all out in 2022 to revamp the Tahoe. For example, the Z71 trim is designed to be off-road oriented and has an electronic limited-slip differential to support the performance of the SUV. Features such as automatic high beams, front and rear parking sensors, and safety tools such as lane-keeping assist have also grown to accommodate additional camera views. In particular for safety features, Chevy has folded GM's Buckle to Drive package into the 2022 Tahoe design. This feature prevents the SUV from shifting into drive unless both driver and passenger are buckled in. Chevy has also included technology for towing assists to make towing safe for drivers. Technology Updates The most obvious advancement for this year's Tahoe is the inclusion of a 12.3-inch infotainment system. The infotainment system has been enhanced with Google technology, including the Play Store, Google Maps, and Google Voice Assistant. Additionally, the 2022 Tahoe has even more connectivity than before. The Tahoe supports a Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay, and Android audio, while the interior charging ports also offer more versatility.

Better Fuel Economy The fuel economy expected out of full-size SUVs continues to improve each year. For the 2022 Tahoe, the diesel engine has exceptional fuel efficiency ratings, with 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Both of the V-8 engines are rated at 20 mpg on the highway. Whether you are looking for ample cargo space for gear and passengers, or you want the versatility of a full-size SUV that can also tow as much weight as a pickup truck, the 2022 Tahoe is an excellent choice. Three engine options, six trims, and a host of enhanced features make it one of the most popular full-size SUVs on the road this year.
