Chevrolet Malibu Review

Leave your beach cruiser, longboard, or surfer van at home. The Chevrolet Malibu is the hottest mode of transportation on the scene. It struts on 16-inch aluminum wheels and, when feeling most confident, wears available 19-inch Black-painted aluminum wheels with Red hash accents. It stands tall and stands out!

Originality gets more eyes on you, which is why your Malibu should be one of a kind. To do so, you can pick one of three appearance packages:

• Midnight Edition: The most debonaire Malibu features 007 swagger and Black-tie dress code.
• Sport Edition: A physically fit Malibu with obsidian elements as strategically placed as the eye black of professional athletes.
• Redline Edition: A daring Malibu with Red accents galore, indicative of your burning passion for what you do for a living.

Which design scheme will help you rise to the occasion and stardom?

The Malibu has seven paint options, starting with timeless shades like Summit White, Sterling Gray, and Mosaic Black that ooze star power. If you prefer to go for the bold, these hues await:

• Mineral Gray—You can almost feel the sand between your toes when you look at this metallic beige.
• Lakeshore Blue—A navy blue as deep as the Pacific Ocean. Surf’s up!
• Radiant Red—Constantly roll out the red carpet wherever you go with this vibrant paint.
• Night Shade—A deep, velvety plum that evokes the warmth of a cozy evening with a perfectly aged glass of wine.

You get to choose who you want to be in this world, so be sure to pick a Chevrolet Malibu that matches! Is your style all about setting trends? Then the LS is the perfect fit, an up-and-coming celebrity that defines what a sedan should be.

Want to turn every street into your personal runway? The RS dials up the style, embodying a fashionista vibe that makes heads turn wherever you go. If you’re looking for a star in the making, the 1LT is packed with premium features, ready to make its big break, while the 2LT is the true A-lister, radiating undeniable charm and quality. So, which one will you choose to represent you?

The Malibu’s 1.5L turbocharged engine is a triple threat. With 163 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, it delivers all the strength needed for daily drives and weekend getaways. But where this sedan truly shines is in its suave Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT).

Think of the CVT as the Malibu’s secret weapon, giving the car a smooth, refined swagger that’s impossible to ignore. Each gear shift feels effortless, adding a touch of elegance to even the most routine drives. Paired with a front-wheel drivetrain, the Malibu handles like it owns the road, commanding attention without breaking a sweat.

And let’s not forget, this sedan far surpasses five minutes of fame. With an EPA-estimated 28 city/36 highway MPG rating, it proves itself as your loyal co-star, ready to hit the road for the long haul, combining power, efficiency, and style into the ultimate road trip companion.

Chevrolet Safety Assist deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This intelligent driver-assistance suite is standard on the Chevrolet Malibu and is your built-in bodyguard. It has six standard features, using advanced tech to continuously monitor the road for potential hazards. When it detects something amiss, it sends real-time alerts to help you stay one step ahead, enhancing your stellar driving habits with features like:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Forward Collision Alert
• Following Distance Indicator
• IntelliBeam® auto high beams

Additional features are available and will be handy on your next road trip. Adaptive Cruise Control eases long drives, while Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert watches your flanks, ensuring smooth merges. And with Automatic Parking Assist you’ll have valet-level precision wherever you go.

The perfect way to turn a house into a home is to fill it up with the people you love. Whether they’re your friends, family, or close co-stars, they’ll have up to 102.9 cubic feet of passenger space to share. With 41.5 inches of legroom in the front and 38.1 inches in the rear row, everyone can kick back and enjoy that ride.

Your rise to stardom may be a journey, but the Chevrolet Malibu offers plenty of standard and available comfort features to keep you feeling at ease while you make your industry moves:

• 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated steering wheel

Your throne will be of premium cloth unless you think available perforated leather better suits your style.

The Chevrolet Malibu comes with an infotainment suite worthy of all the accolades! An 8-inch touchscreen serves as your primary display, allowing you to pair your smartphone with Bluetooth® or wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Alexa Built-In is available, bringing a household name on the road with you!

Up-and-coming tech features are available, too. Give them a shot by welcoming them in your Chevrolet Malibu:
