Performance and Handling

Available in four distinct trim levels, the new Malibu is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with variable valve timing and direct injection, producing 163 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. This elegant sedan comes standard with a continuously variable transmission, a StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control, and four-wheel antilock disc brakes. Electronic Grade Braking and front-wheel drive are standard across the board.

Besides delivering excellent handling and performance, the Malibu is one of the most efficient models in its category, boasting EPA-estimated ratings of 28 miles per gallon in the city, 36 mpg on the highway, and 31 mpg combined. Some additional mechanical features of this compact sedan include an electronic parking brake, a four-link rear suspension with a stabilizer bar, and a MacPherson strut front suspension. All models also feature DuraLife brake rotors in the front and rear.

Comfort and Versatility

Elegant and stylish inside and out, the new Malibu is a comfortable sedan with spacious seating for up to five passengers and an extensive array of perks. All models offer 102.0 cubic feet of passenger volume, 41.5 inches of legroom in the front seats, and 34.1 inches in the rear row. Their trunk volume stands at 15.7 cubic feet, with additional cargo capacity available thanks to the standard 60/40 split-folding rear bench seatbacks across all models.

Besides its cabin’s space and versatility, one of the reasons that make the Malibu popular among families is its many standard comfort features. Base trim levels are equipped with front and rear carpeted floor mats, an interior overhead courtesy lamp, steering wheel-mounted controls, a manual tilt and telescoping steering column, cabin air filtration, front bucket seats, power door locks, visors with vanity mirrors, and six-way manual driver and front passenger seat adjustment.
