It may be "dated", but it is still a very good looking sedan. Probably best to use a 2.0 Turbo in it, but for an economical daily driver, it's just fine. You can get the RS version in my area for $22,000 and an 1LT w/ heated seats and sunroof for $24,000. That's pretty affordable for most folks.
I had a 2010 Chevy Malibu LTX and I really liked the design of that car and I am so glad that it has made a comeback cuz I didn't like the new design that they had come up with at one point in time
I wish they had kept this thing a bit more old school. I'd consider buying one if it could be optioned with any of the following: a naturally aspirated engine, an automatic transmission, a physical key to start it, a manual parking brake, NO auto stop/start, or an in-dash CD player. If they held on to any of these things I would seriously consider buying this car.
It's a shame Chevy couldn't come up with a new design for 2025. I have a 2020 and still love it, but I have plans to buy a 2025. Outside of lower mileage, why would I change? Nothing has changed from 2019 to 25. I think they just wanted to piss people off and bring it back in a coupler years. Not everyone want an SUV.
The last ever American sedan to be FWD (except for the ones not sold in America). Back in the 1980s, many such vehicles entered production until the options were narrowed down to just this model at the start of this decade. Because many Americans prefer SUVs and many foreign brands offer a large selection of cheap sedans, no American automaker is likely to ever invest in a new sedan model ever again. The one exception is the Ford Mustang Mach-4 which will be RWD. So this truly marked the end of an era for American sedans. However, on the bright side, no more American sedans are FWD and are instead RWD, which means their drivetrain is traditionally American.
The chrome looks way better than the cheap rubbish black plastic all these new cars are using which will age very poorly. GM just can't seem to stop making mistakes and killing this car off is a doozy!

Missed opportunity for Chevy i think they should of done something different with this being the end of line for Malibu
Should have*
Maybe redesign it it is 9y old for the current gen
Ending the Malibu for a Volt EV is just crazy.
FJB

I own one by today's standards it's very traditional
who does a review and doesn't pop the hood.

Probably can buy these at a steep discount. sad to see it go. They need to make a small sedan but completion is crazy these days

The Best RS only sport
That’s a lot of moola 💰 for a midsize Chevy car. 33 plus finance and all the other jazz they’ll add on, would be near 40 G’s

More & more sedans are disappearing.
Suvs & crossovers are what the consumer wants
And only a 5 yr 60k mile powertrain warranty ……. Naw lol GM is on Krack. A Hyundai Elantra is a similar size car with 10 yr 100k powertrain warranty.
Thats is the top of the line Malibu for 2025. Chevy got rid of the hybrid and the 2.0T. Base is around 25k.
Bow tie….its a cross.
Chevy has called their emblem a bow tie since 1913.
Looks are fine but engine is way too small and has a CVT.
Most CVTs are unreliable but the one in the Malibu is actually pretty reliable.
Not surprised anything GM builds is absolute garbage even the Silverados.......
