An energetic engine, sharp steering, and impressively quick acceleration help make the 2025 Chevy Malibu a blast to drive. Inside, the cabin is cozy and upscale, and the meticulously crafted exterior will make you stand out on the road. Here’s a quick review of each of its trim levels.
1. LS
Motivating the base LS and all other 2025 Malibu trims is a turbocharged 1.5L 4-cylinder that drives the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission. Output comes in at 163 horsepower and 184 lb-feet of torque. Exterior elements include daytime running lamps, acoustic laminated windshield, body-shade power mirrors, halogen headlamps, and IntelliBeam.
The interior entices with steering-wheel-mounted controls, outside temperature display, front and rear carpeted floor mats, a 120-volt power outlet, and premium cloth seat upholstery. Infotainment-wise, the Malibu provides an 8-inch touchscreen, a 6-speaker sound system, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Safety features are plentiful, including forward collision alert, rear park assist, automatic emergency braking, and lane keep assist.
2. RS
The RS trim brings most of the features offered in the base LS trim and adds a power driver seat lumbar control, a wrapped steering wheel, an 8-way power driver seat, and a body-color antenna. It also features a black grille with chrome surround, rear spoiler, dual-outlet exhaust, front and rear black bowtie logo, and all-season blackwall tires.
3. 1LT
Expanding on the RS trim’s strong base, the Malibu 1LT trim adds a touch of sophistication with its 17-inch aluminum wheels and top-notch amenities. Notable features include rear console vents, heated outside mirrors, SiriusXM trial subscription, dual-zone automatic climate control, LED daytime running lamps, and heated driver and front passenger seats. Shoppers will also appreciate the rear seat armrest, driver and front passenger sun visor mirrors, power window with express-up, and switchable rear reading lamps.
4. 2LT
For the ultimate premium experience, look no further than the 2LT trim. Highlights include 19-inch aluminum wheels, bright sill plates, LED headlamps and tail lamps, driver seatback map pocket, and ventilated driver and front occupant seats. Music enthusiasts will love the 9-speaker Bose premium audio system, which provides precise, true sound reproduction throughout the cabin. Wireless charging eliminates the need to plug and unplug cables to keep your devices charged up.
An 8-inch diagonal driver information center provides alert messages and other essential vehicle information. Ambient interior lighting, power front passenger seat lumbar control, and a 6-way power front passenger seat are also standard, as are perforated leather-appointed seats and an inside rearview auto-dimming mirror.
