A Star Is Born: the Chevy Malibu

Explore the categories below to discover more about the features of the Chevy Malibu.

DESIGN

The Chevy Malibu is a starlet. It blooms with new talent. It exudes ageless grace. Nothing can dull the shine of this sedan. It also proves versatile, fitting into numerous roles and wearing many masks to help it shoot to stardom.

Your Ride to the Top

Leave your beach cruiser, longboard, or surfer van at home. The Chevy 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 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?

A Star-Studded Silhouette

The Malibu has six paint options, starting with 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.

You get to choose who you want to be in this world, so make sure you pick a Chevy Malibu that matches! Your trim options include:

LS—An up-and-coming celebrity that sets the standard for what a sedan should be.
RS—This trim dials up the style, embodying a fashionista that makes every street its runway.
1LT—A star in training with all the premium features to make its big break.
2LT—The A-Lister of the lineup. Its star quality is found in every nook and cranny.

CAPABILITY

Do you dream of cruising along the PCH? What about driving across the continent? The Chevy Malibu is a dream maker, helping you see and experience the world. Its gentle engine, endurance, and standard driver-assistance suite are the ingredients for your ideal adventure recipe.

All the Right Ingredients

The Malibu’s 1.5L turbocharged engine is a triple threat. It produces ample strength, measuring 163 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Its suave Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drivetrain handle the swagger department. This sedan surpasses the five minutes of fame benchmark with its EPA-estimated 28 city/36 highway MPG rating.
Combine all three factors, and you have the ultimate road trip companion!

Your Safety Entourage

Chevy Safety Assist deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This intelligent driver-assistance suite is standard on the Chevy Malibu and is your built-in bodyguard. It has six standard features:

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 will help take the edge off long drives.

Your Dream Malibu Beach House

The perfect way to turn a house into a home is to fill it up with the people you love.

With 41.5 inches of legroom in the front and 38.1 inches in the back, everyone can kick back and enjoy that cruise on the Pacific Coast Highway.
It may take some time to gain traction during your rise to stardom. The Chevy Malibu offers several available creature comforts for you to enjoy while you make 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. ?

Chevy Malibu vs. The Competitor

At a Glance: Chevy Malibu vs. Toyota Camry

Think of the Chevy Malibu and the Toyota Camry. You most likely picture their good looks and imagine yourself enjoying their impressive performance. These sedans look just as good as they perform; however, the Malibu offers much more than that. Its unmatched technology and passenger space prove it’s what’s on the inside that matters most.

At a Glance: Chevy Malibu vs. Honda Accord

The Chevy Malibu and the Honda Accord are even keeled regarding power and space. Both sedans offer the best seat in the house (aka the driver’s seat); however, your domain as the driver is the cockpit.
