Equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged Ecotec engine making an impressive 295
lb-ft of torque, the new 2014 Chevrolet Malibu Turbo will accelerate from 0-60
mph in “under six seconds.” That torque figure is not only best in class, but
it’s also superior to many V6-equipped models — even those outside of the
midsize sedan segment.
Take for example the current Ford Mustang and its 3.7L V6 engine rated at
280 lb-ft of torque — 15 lb-ft lower than the front-wheel-drive Malibu Turbo.
That’s even the case when comparing the 2014 Malibu Turbo to the Camaro V6,
which has a lesser 278 lb-ft. More to the point, the 2014 Malibu Turbo is
capable of beating the current Camaro V6 in a zero-to-sixty miles per hour
sprint, with its sub-six-second time to the Camaro’s 6.4-second time. That’s
pretty impressive for a family sedan.
