The Malibu is the embodiment of an efficient family-sized sedan, with efficient performance, a spacious and well-appointed interior, and an excellent safety profile. With many attractive traits, the 2025 Chevy Malibu is certain to maintain a dedicated following, giving drivers multiple reasons to fall in love.
Plentiful Power for Practical Performance
As a mid-size four-door sedan, the Malibu fulfills one of its primary purposes with an effective, efficient powertrain that offers exciting performance. The 1.5-liter turbocharged DOHC 4-cylinder engine has variable valve timing and direct injection for enhanced performance. It’s paired with a continuously variable transmission and an FWD drivetrain. The powertrain produces 163 horsepower and 184 foot-pounds of torque, giving the Malibu quick, nimble acceleration.
Excellent Efficiency for Enhanced Fuel Economy
While the Malibu packs a potent punch thanks to its turbocharged drivetrain, it generates that power without sacrificing fuel efficiency. All trims of the Malibu incorporate a 15.8-gallon fuel tank. Its 31 MPG combined estimated fuel efficiency rating is impressive for a non-hybrid sedan, and it boasts an estimated 28 MPG efficiency rating in the city and 36 MPG efficiency rating on the open road. That means less time at the gas pump and lower operational costs.
Superior Safety Features for Stellar Protection
Safety is a primary concern for any driver, and the Malibu has safety features that intervene to prevent accidents and offer comprehensive protection if an accident occurs. For example, the Malibu incorporates the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, which enhances control and distributes power appropriately during evasive driving maneuvers. It also has a brake assist system, 10 airbags, and OnStar Basics with automatic crash response.
Quiet Cabin for a Comfortable Ride
The Malibu offers drivers a comfortable ride thanks to its spacious and well-appointed interior. With a passenger volume of 102 cubic feet, the Malibu can seat up to five adults across its two rows of seating. It has a tilt and telescoping steering column, and the premium cloth front bucket seats are adjustable, with optional power-adjustable seats with power lumbar support available. It also has climate control and a cabin air filter so occupants can breathe easily.
Impressive Infotainment Technology for Maintaining Connection
With a cabin loaded with infotainment technology, the Malibu’s features help drivers stay connected safely. The infotainment features found in the Malibu include a personalizable driver information center, the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System, an 8-inch color touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and a 6-speaker audio system.
