Used 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx

Buying Guide for the Chevrolet Malibu Maxx:

At Chevrolet, they say that the all-new Malibu Maxx delivers the comfort of first class at a coach ticket’s price, and they aren’t kidding. This new adaptation of the Malibu sedan (covered separately) is actually called a five-door extended sedan. That is primarily because of its rear end, which features an angled liftgate that provides extensive interior room.

So really, the 2004 Malibu Maxx is like a cross between a station wagon and the smooth-running Malibu sedan. It gives the best of both worlds: excessive space and cargo-carrying versatility as well as nice handling and driveability. 

Under the Hood

Both the base LS and top-line LT model have a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 200 horsepower at 5400 rpm and 220 lb-ft of torque at 3200 rpm. It is mated to a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission, giving it an estimated fuel economy of 21/29 mpg (city/highway).

Independent front and rear suspension allows the Malibu Maxx to hover calmly over bumpy roads and uneven surfaces. Power-assisted variable-speed rack-and-pinion steering provides nice, sharp responsiveness.

Along with the Malibu, the Malibu Maxx uses GM’s Epsilon architecture. The Epsilon body structure gives the Malibu Maxx a high degree of structural stiffness, which greatly enhances both vehicle handling and interior acoustics.

For safety, the Malibu Maxx has antilock brakes with Dynamic Rear Proportioning, traction control and dual front airbags. Curtain side airbags are optional.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

The 2004 Malibu Maxx has a six-inch advantage in wheelbase over its sister Malibu, yet it is a half-inch shorter overall. That means all the extra room is reserved for the interior. This results in 106 cubic feet of passenger space and a luxurious 41 inches of legroom with the rear seats pushed all the way back—another nice feature of the Malibu Maxx.

The all-new Malibu Maxx seeks to distinguish itself further with a standard fixed rear glass skylight. Both driver and passenger-side rear occupants have the option of opening or closing a standard split/retractable shade to control the amount of light coming through the skylight.

There are plenty of comfort options available for the debut year as well. Some of the names on the list include heated front seats, a remote vehicle starter system, XM satellite radio and a DVD rear seat entertainment system.
