Holden's new Malibu midsizer has come a step closer to its 2013 Australian launch, with the arrival this week of a handful of engineering vehicles.

The first Malibus to hit Australian roads in right-hand-drive, the arrival of the new cars follows a test programme carried out last year with left-hand-drive models.

While the earlier exercise formed part of GM's global development programme for the Malibu - sold elsewhere as a Chevrolet - these new cars are being tested and tuned with a focus on the Australian market.

Holden's engineering team, a major cog in the wider GM machine is responsible for fine-tuning the Australian models, along with the transmissions for both local and global models.

“Our engineers have paid close attention to the vehicle’s driving dynamics, ride and handling, suspension and comfort so Malibu will be sure to meet the discerning needs of drivers in this competitive segment,” Holden Director of Integration and Safety, Ian Butler said.

The local testing for the Malibu is being carried out both at Holden's Lang Lang proving grounds, and on public roads in Victoria.
