What are some of the advantages of the new nine-speed automatic transmission that will be debuting on the 2017 Malibu? The new Hydra-Matic will offer significant fuel-efficiency advantages. It will come mated to the available 2.0-liter turbocharged engine available on the 2017 Chevy Malibu. With this powertrain combination, drivers of the Malibu should be able to enjoy up to 33 mpg on the highway according to EPA estimates. This is a 3 percent increase when compared to the 2016 Malibu with its eight-speed transmission.
Thanks to a wider overall gear ratio, the 2017 Chevy Malibu with the new nine-speed transmission should also be able to deliver premium handling, ranging from immediate acceleration to efficient highway driving.
“The smaller steps between the gears, compared to the eight-speed, enable smooth, almost imperceptible upshifts, for excellent refinement,” said Dan Nicholson, vice president, Global Propulsion Systems, in a recent Chevy press release. “No matter the engine torque or vehicle speed, the 9T50 is always in the perfect gear.”
Some other unique features of the new nine-speed automatic transmission include:
This new nine-speed transmission will also be available in the redesigned 2018 Chevy Equinox and the 2017 Chevy Cruze Diesel. Contact a member of the Broadway Automotive team to learn more about any of these vehicles.
