2023 Chevrolet Malibu

Four trims are available for the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu: LS, RS, LT, and 2LT. The entry-level LS starts with exterior features such as an acoustic laminated windshield, power outside mirrors, 16-inch aluminum wheels, daytime running lights, and automatic on/off headlights. If you opt for the RS, you'll find body-colored power outside mirrors, a black grille with chrome surround, 18-inch aluminum wheels, front and rear bowtie emblems, and a rear spoiler. The LT sits atop 17-inch aluminum wheels and adds LED daytime running lights and body-colored heated power outside mirrors. Finally, the 2LT rolls down the road on 19-inch aluminum wheels and includes LED taillights, bright sill plates, and LED headlights.

The same engine is available across all of the 2023 Chevy Malibu trims. That engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. This combination delivers 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The fuel economy is great and gives you more time on the road between gas stations, with the Malibu getting an EPA-estimated 36 mpg on the highway.

Chevrolet vehicles are known for their performance-enhancing features, and the 2023 Malibu is no exception. Front-wheel drive is standard on all four trims for a smooth drive every time. You also get four-wheel anti-lock brakes, a MacPherson strut front suspension, and StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control as standard features. The stop/start engine control system shuts down the engine when idling to help conserve fuel.

With a convenient and comfortable cabin for drivers and passengers alike, the interior of the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu welcomes you. The LS has a six-speaker sound system, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12-volt power outlet, keyless entry with push-button start, premium cloth upholstery, an in-cabin air filter, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and steering-wheel-mounted controls. The 2LT will get you an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, a heated steering wheel, and ambient lighting. Move up to the RS for a wrapped steering wheel and a power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar control. The RS also adds dual-zone automatic climate control, SiriusXM, a remote start, a rear seat armrest, heated front seats, and a rear console vent.

Chevrolet knows how important safety is when purchasing a new vehicle, so the 2023 Malibu offers plenty. Standard safety features include a roadside emergency toolkit, Buckle to Drive, Teen Driver, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, following distance indicator, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, front pedestrian braking, a rear vision camera, and a rear seat reminder. Also available are features such as rear park assist, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, enhanced emergency braking, and automatic parking assist.
