2025-Chevrolet-Malibu

Engines and Performance

The Chevrolet Malibu keeps things simple under the hood with a single powertrain option: a trusty 163-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT driving the front wheels. The Malibu stands out in its class for its above-average ride comfort.

It also has responsive handling that's balanced and confident. The suspension strikes a sweet spot that's neither soft nor firm, making it surprisingly agile and even a bit sporty for a family sedan.

Interior Space

The Malibu's interior is designed with comfort and ease in mind. Its spacious cabin and thoughtful ergonomics offer competitive passenger space and practical options. The symmetrical dashboard and open area beneath the center stack create a roomy feel upfront. The front seats are generously wide and supportive, and the back seat comfortably accommodates adults.

Plus, the Malibu's trunk is impressively large, perfect for plenty of carry-ons, and the interior provides solid storage options to keep your essentials close at hand.

The Chevy Malibu offers a range of advanced safety features to help protect you and your loved ones, although many are optional.

Key safety features include:

• Available automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
• Available lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
• Available adaptive cruise control
