Traverse City Chevy Dealer Now Offers Twice-Honored Safe Choice In 2013 Malibu Eco

Online, July 23, 2012 (Newswire.com) - A recent recipient of high marks from both the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2013 Chevy Malibu Eco is now available at Williams Chevrolet in Traverse City, Michigan.

"With the Malibu Eco, Chevrolet has earned seven 2012 Top Safety Pick awards," said IIHS President Adrian Lund. "The IIHS and NHTSA results demonstrate GM's commitment to state-of-the-art crash protection."

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco a 5-star overall score after tests conducted under the revised New Car Assessment Program. An overall vehicle score is determined by averaging results from various crash and rollover resistance tests.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tested the 2013 Malibu Eco to see how well the car will defend passengers from crash impact and rollovers, as well as preventing accidents via the Malibu Eco's electronic stability control feature. The severity of neck injuries was evaluated via simulated rear impacts.

"We are now seeing the results from our commitment to design the highest-rated vehicles in the world in safety performance," said Gay Kent, GM executive director of Vehicle Safety. "Earning these top safety ratings demonstrates the strength of the Malibu's advanced structure, overall crashworthiness and effectiveness of the vehicle's state-of-the-art safety technologies."

In addition to the 2013 Malibu Eco, 14 other GM cars have been named IIHS Top Safety Picks. The Malibu was also awarded a five-star rating by the European New Car Assessment Program last fall.
