Four Decades of Data Used to Test 2016 Chevrolet Malibu

The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, which hits dealerships late in 2015, is the product of over four decades of data collected from many types of cars driven all over the world. The data was used to create a car that can handle the harshest roads and still provide a luxurious ride for those inside. The extensive data also allows the car to be safe in inclement weather.

The data was collected using the most advanced methods available from 1972 to the present day. High-tech computers were put in cars all over the world, and these computers collected information about roads and weather, as well as how the cars reacted to the conditions. Chevrolet saved the data and used it to make the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu as good as it could possibly be.

The pre-production version of the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu was subjected to an intense battery of tests to ensure its dependability and reliability. The car was driven in Northern Canada in temperatures well below freezing. Chevrolet also tested the car in Yuma, Ariz., where temperatures regularly soar well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to testing on location, Chevrolet also tested the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu in their own facilities, where it was subjected to extreme temperatures and winds for extended periods of time.

Chevrolet's Milford Proving Ground in Michigan is one of the most advanced and comprehensive testing facilities in the world. It allows Chevrolet to simulate any kind of road conditions that drivers of the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu might encounter, whether in America, Canada, or Saudi Arabia. The car was subjected to the worst roads possible for a simulated 150,000 miles, for an absolute worst case scenario test of dependability and reliability. This ensures the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu is as tough as any car on the road today, if not tougher.

In addition to the weather and road condition tests, the car was given several highly specialized tests that approximated conditions much worse than those faced by the average driver. The suspension was tested by a hydraulic post that engineers fitted under one wheel at time. The wheel was then jostled up and down, to stress the suspension far more than normal driving conditions. Also, the reliability of the doors, hood, and trunk lid were tested extensively. Chevrolet's team of engineers slammed them repeatedly to accelerate wear and tear. The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu was even made to pass an extensive list of off road tests, such as driving on dirt and gravel and driving through salt spray.

Very few vehicles have gone through the sort of extensive testing that the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu has. The reliability and dependability of the car have been proven over thousands and thousands of miles before it even hits showroom floors. Buyers looking for a rugged and reliable vehicle need look no further than the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu.
