Thanks to an official photograph that leaked onto the internet last night, we now have our first glimpse at the exterior of all-new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The new mid-size sedan from GM appears to sport a robust look with a sculpted face featuring the classic split Chevrolet grille.

Aside from the leaked image, General Motors also released a new picture of the Malibu’s interior showcasing the new radio face that articulates up and down revealing a six-inch-deep hidden, illuminated storage compartment, which the company says is a first for a U.S. mid-size sedan.

Unless someone decides to offer us another sneak preview, we’ll have to wait until April 18 for the full reveal of the 2013 Malibu. As a refresher, the new iteration of the Malibu will be Chevy’s first global mid-size sedan as it will built in various locations and sold across the globe.
