2013 Chevrolet Malibu The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu has been recently redesigned in order to increase its appeal to those seeking a reliable and stylish mid-size commuter car. The Chevrolet Malibu sedan can be had in four different trim levels, with the top-tier LTZ model offering the most comprehensive amount of equipment.
The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu's base engine is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder unit that delivers 197 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque. Two additional drivetrain options are available: a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder good for 259 horses and 260 lb-ft of torque, and a 182 horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder / electric motor combo found in the Eco light hybrid edition of the sedan. All feature a six-speed automatic transmission, and the Eco model provides the most impressive fuel mileage (25-mpg city and 37-mpg highway).
There is a financing incentive of 2.9% or $1,500 cash back on the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu available until 04/01/2013.
2013 Nissan Murano The 2013 Nissan Murano is a mid-size crossover vehicle that is aimed at families who need more space than what a traditional sedan can provide. The Nissan Murano seats five passengers and can haul as much as 64 cubic feet of cargo with the rear row of accommodations folded forward.
The 2013 Nissan Murano is motivated exclusively by a 3.5-liter V-6 that churns out 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is optional with the Murano, while a continuously-variable automatic transmission is included as standard equipment. Fuel mileage for the crossover checks in at 18-mpg in stop and go driving and 24-mpg on the highway.
There is a financing incentive of 0.9% or $2,000 cash back on the 2013 Nissan Murano available until 04/01/2013.
2013 Dodge Grand Caravan The 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan is a mainstay in the minivan segment, in part thanks to innovative features such as Stow 'n Go seating. This allows the seven-passenger Dodge Grand Caravan to effortlessly fold its second and third rows into the floor in order to free up an exceptional 143.8 cubic feet of cargo space.
The 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan benefits from a simple and efficient single-engine drivetrain lineup. The Grand Caravan's 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 produces 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, and it can also be counted on to deliver fuel mileage of 17-mpg around town and 25-mpg during highway cruising. A six-speed automatic transmission is included free of charge with the minivan.
There is a financing incentive of 0.0% plus $500 or $2,500 cash back on the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan available until 03/08/2013.
2013 Toyota Tundra - 0.0% or $2,500 - 04/01/2013 The 2013 Toyota Tundra provides full-size pickup buyers with the bewildering array of configurations, trims, and body styles that are typical in its segment. With three body style and three bed lengths to choose from, and a passenger capacity that can stretch to six, the Toyota Tundra is a versatile choice for truck shoppers.
The 2013 Toyota Tundra's entry-level 4.0-liter V-6 is good for 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. The truck's mid-range 4.6-liter V-8 not only ups power to 310 horses and 327 lb-ft of torque, but it also makes four-wheel drive available as an option. The Tundra's 5.7-liter, range-topping V-8 is rated at a healthy 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. The V-6 is matched with a five-speed automatic transmission, while both V-8s come with a six-speed autobox. Fuel mileage for the six-cylinder shows as 16-mpg city and 20-mpg highway, which is very close to that of the 4.6-liter mill but quite a bit better than the 5.7-liter.
There is a financing incentive of 0.9% or $2,000 cash back on the 2013 Nissan Murano available until 04/01/2013.
2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid - 2.9% plus $1,000 The 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid takes the attractive sheet metal of the standard Sonata sedan and wraps it around a battery-assisted drivetrain that is much more efficient than that of its gas-only cousin. The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid can also be equipped with a surprising amount of luxury equipment via the judicious selection of options packages.
The 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid matches its 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine with an electric motor that together produce 206 horsepower and 193 lb-ft of torque. Fuel mileage shows as 35-mpg city and 40-mpg highway, numbers that are aided and abetted by the sedan's six-speed automatic transmission.
