Chevrolet had high hopes when it introduced the redesigned 2013 Malibu at the 2011 New York auto show. On point for GM’s charge into the competitive mid-size sedan segment, the General was counting on the new bow-tie sedan to inflict some serious sales damage on opponents with names like Camry, Accord, and Fusion.

The 2013 Malibu was wider, quieter, and more opulent inside than the previous model, including the use of upgraded soft-touch materials. But it was also a whopping four inches shorter, and one of our primary complaints about the car involved its deficient rear legroom. At least a few people at Chevrolet shared our pain, as the brand has taken a few strides to alleviate the issue. New seat-cushion sculpting allows passengers to sit deeper in the seats. Approximately half an inch was shaved from the leading edge of rear seat cushion to reposition passenger legs and deliver the impression of more space. To give knees a little breathing room, the rears of the front seatbacks have been scalloped to find another 1.3 inches of knee room.

Chevy made some minor changes to the center console to deliver a longer, ostensibly more comfortable armrest, and it also replaced the former covered storage area with a pair of cup holders and two cell-phone bins. But the glut of discordant interior textures, hues, and finishes appears to have survived the makeover unscathed. We counted no less than eight different interior materials and textures in our test of the 2013 Malibu 2.5, and frankly we were hoping Chevy would take this opportunity to give the interior color and material wheel another spin.
