最近谍照记者再次拍到了正在测试的2019款雪佛兰迈瑞宝，但这次测试车的伪装少了一些，可以让人更清楚的看清这辆升级版轿车。由于拿掉了一部分车头伪装，可以看到新车更漂亮的车头部分。它采用了底部横条格栅而非现行版的整体造型。而LED转向灯向上弯曲，而非现行版的向下弯曲。前大灯棱角更分明，而非圆形造型。车尾可见改款后的尾灯组，顶部为白色，底部为细窄的红色灯条。这次谍照记者拍到了在路面测试的两辆车，其中一辆采用狭窄排气尾管，与车底集成在一起。另一辆乍一看排气尾管，但仔细看会发现从后保险杠底下伸出了一小段排气尾管。车辆内装预计将进一步升级，或许信息娱乐系统也将小幅提升，同时驾驶员辅助系统也将升级。至于动力系统，现行版搭载1.5升四缸涡轮引擎，功率119千瓦/160马力，扭矩250牛米；2.0升四缸涡轮引擎，功率186千瓦/250马力，扭矩353牛米，另有一款1.8升四缸混动系统。不过，基本动力系统改进也将很细微。迈瑞宝升级版将作为2019款车型上市，预计该车将在今年美国的某次车展亮相。
2019 Chevy Malibu Spied Testing With Less Camo
The refreshed 2019 Chevrolet Malibu has been caught testing again, but this time the engineers didn't bother to fit the black body cladding like on previous mules. The relative lack of concealment provides the best look yet at the updated sedan.
Without the front end concealment, this test mule provides a fantastic look at the revisions. The lower portion gets new wavy slats in the grille rather than the current flat pieces. The LED signature lights now appear to angle upward rather than pointing down like the present layout. The headlights have more angular, less rounded styling too.
Similarly, these shots give us a better look at the Malibu's tail, too. Revised taillights feature white sections at the top and bottom with thin red sections separating them. These spy photos show two takes on the lower fascia. One of them has narrow exhausts integrated in the bottom. The other lacks these outlets, but there's a downward pointing pipe visible behind the bumper.
Further details about the refreshed Malibu remain a mystery. Inside, material upgrades, possibly minor infotainment improvements, and upgraded driver assistance tech are likely.
Powertrain changes are also an unknown element. The existing options are a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 160 horsepower (119 kilowatts) and 184 pound-feet (250 Newton-meters), a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 250 hp (186 kW) and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm), and a 1.8-liter four-cylinder hybrid. Any tweaks would likely be minor.
The updated Malibu will be on sale for the 2019 model year. Look for it to debut at an American auto show in 2018.
