Chevrolet Malibu 2013 models 2013 Chevrolet Malibu SMALL OVERLAP FRONT TEST OVERALL EVALUATION: Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics Head/neck Chest Hip/thigh Lower leg/foot Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight. Good Acceptable Marginal Poor Test details: The Chevrolet Malibu was redesigned for the 2013 model year. Structure — The driver space was not maintained well. Lower interior intrusion measured as much as 21 cm at the hinge pillar, and the upper hinge pillar and instrument panel intruded 15-18 cm. Restraints/dummy kinematics — The dummy's head barely contacted the frontal airbag before sliding off the left side as the steering column moved 14 cm to the right, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. Additionally, the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy's head and torso. The side curtain airbag deployed and had sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. Injury measures — Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left knee, lower leg, ankle, and heel would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
