For 2007, the station wagon version of the Chevy Malibu now comes with airbags that adjust to the severity of a crash, turn-by-turn navigation, and a little extra juice in its V6. The Malibu Maxx has a 3.5 L, V6 engine and comes in 3 trims: the SS, LTZ, and LT. The LT represents the most basic version of the Malibu Maxx while the LTZ and SS build on the LT by adding leather seats and other more luxurious features.

Gas mileage generally comes out to 20 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway. You'll get 23 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats up. All trims have 4 doors and seat 5.

Overall, the critics have a lot of good things to say about the '07 Malibu Maxx. The Maxx gives you good value, a roomy interior, smooth ride, and solid powertrain performance. On the other hand, interior styling and steering could stand some refinement. However, despite any shortcomings, the Malibu Maxx takes value and performance to the max in delivering a desirable overall package.
