I drove one today, loved it, drives and rides like a much more expensive car, very very quiet. This car has a wonderful sound system, and looks ten times better live.
I rented a 2014 Malibu LTZ (without nav) and it was fantastic remote start, auto lift trunk, leather, good size screen. The model I had came with turbo. Auto stop start was alittle rough but overall gave good fuel economy
chris lewis it’s a super nice car, the only reason why the newest Malibu has no leatherette seats is because people that had the LTZ complained because the low trims had everything the same... smh people complain to much now days ... LT is probably the perfect trim
chris lewis you honestly get a better deal with a Malibu, saving gas, perfect sounding radio, 7” touch screen radio standard and you get leather seats with a perfect styling exterior, and a perfect interior.... omg i sound like a car salesmen... I should be one 😂
The 2.0L Turbocharged would be SICK if it came with a 3.6L Twin-Turbocharged, OMG. ❤️ IN Saint Louis, most dealers are selling the 2014 Malibu 1LS for just below $16,000, which is amazing...
I love this car and am very impressed. It's a bit big on the outside (height-wise in a few ways), but I love it, and no one can change my opinion of it.
Excellent tour Kyle. Love the car's ergonomics. And yes, you should consider adding test drives to your videos. Just add a minute or two giving us your take on 0-60, ride and comfort. Please consider. Your vids are really informative.
I have a 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid. I went to test drive this 2013 Malibu and I was very impressed. Then I decided to change my Toyota for this one. The Malibu runs better then Camry. Driving the Malibu was funner then driving my Camry. Great job Chevy and GM. Boo Toyota
You always make a great video. I'm never disappointed when i watch your video's. A very clear picture of the cars, not to far away from the car, not to fast with the camera. And not to close to the vehicle. Great job. Lookout foward to your next video. @BeeStrong.
I bought a 2013 Chevy Malibu ECO LTZ with Sirius XM radio and Hands free calling Not push to start It is Raven Black and a Cream interior like on the video and Chrome Accenting
I love Chevrolet products. I'm an owner of a 2015 Malibu 1LT and a 2013 Sonic 2LT. Both of the cars are pleasant to me. Both at a fair price. ($18,000 for the Sonic, $27,000 for the Malibu). They both come with lots of features. Sonic features: MyLink, 16" white painted rims, remote start, premium sound system, 0-60= 8.6 seconds. Malibu features: MyLink, Backup cam, sunroof, remote start, premium sound system, ECO package. 0-60 = 7.7 seconds (2.5L).
Yea true, and I kinda want to take that back because I saw one just like this yesterday and I actually liked it! It had a muscular back end that I really liked
@@kingcellous2587 I love it. It drives like absolute butter and it's great on gas not to mention it's a really pretty car and their pretty affordable. I'd say go for it👌
Honestly, GM has the best car interiors I've ever seen... I always wondered how Honda, Nissan, Toyota and other "better" brands are so behind GM when it comes to the interior quality
Now you will want to do the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu. Even though it is mostly the same as the 2013 they dropped this 2.4 Eco engine. They did small interior designs and added start/stop to the 2.5. They also changed the front grill on the 2014.
This is actually a great vehicle. I'm impressed with the improved build quality and good looks. However it still falls short of the awesome Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata and 2013 Ford Fusion. But this vehicle offers plenty to be competitive.
I live in North Dakota, the gas here is about $3.65/gal. But the temperature get's to be about -30F to -40F in the winter. We use block heaters but they only keep the engine warm enough to start. Auto start lets us warm the inside of the car without letting it sit running with the key in the ignition.
Wow thanks for a REAL review/overview. I have watched 600 videos and this is the best by far..you show everything. I am considering this car or a Fusion and this helped a lot. Still undecided though. Any advice? I'd like a 2013 Fusion..but they are not available yet :(
That is not a bad looking car for being a Chevy! They have just continually been making giant leaps and bounds in the quality department, especially for their interiors. This car certainly looks like it has its fair share of creature comforts.
It seems like this has a hybrid drive system similar to that of Honda's IMA. It's a parallel hybrid drive, where the electric motor is only there to assist the spark ignition engine in driving, and providing electricity for the vehicle at a stop. What's interesting to me is how the electric motor is apparently belt driven, rather than fixed to the end of the crankshaft. Pretty neat!
wow chevy really made improvements this is the first car from chevrolet in a long time that will really compete with the toyota camry and honda accord.
I'm torn here- I love almost everything about the Malibu but I'm not sure what trim I should be looking for in the near future, either a 1LZ or a 2LZ. Ugh I can't decide. I know I don't want an LS, LT, or Eco but which of the two LZ trims is better? I love how the 19 inch wheels the 2LZ look but what's the ride quality like with those wheels? I've heard a few times from owners that the 18 inch have a better ride than the 19 inch. Is it true the 19 inch have more road noise??? Cause that's something I don't want more of. Also what's the reliability like on the 2.0 Turbo? And what's the actual average fuel economy for that engine? Is it really far off from the 2.5 or is it similar?
I hope the newer 2015+ Malibu are better, because I got a 2013 as a loaner with a 2.5L and I hated every moment of it. The only thing I liked was the surprisingly smooth start-stop and the hidden center console storage which I sister jokingly referred to as the "crack/gun pocket".
How are you doing Kyle. Are you planning on reviewing the 2011-2012 Infiniti M56s? I've been waiting patiently for years! LOL. No pressure though, I'll still continue to patiently wait.
Nice looking car overall, especially the interior, not especially too stoked about that "racer" dash or steering wheel. Furthermore its hard to miss the Camry influence on the front end and some of the curves, almost looks like the marriage of a Camaro and Camry. Nevertheless this has always been one of the better cars from Chevy. After seeing the new Cruze I was curious to see what direction the Malibu would take and so far this is impressive.
The woodgrain accenting looks like it was inspired from the previous gen's LTZ model, it's nice. The 2.4 sounds just like mine does in my 2011 so it must be the LE5 or close to it.
I just found your channel and thank you for sharing. I have a 2013 Malibu and really like the car but it has a rattle somewhere in the trunk area that we cannot find. We have stuffed foam in all open ares in the trunk area but still rattles when not driving on really smooth pavement. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
you think you can do a review on the 2013 altima/altima coupe when it becomes available?! i heard april 4th it will be revealed so hopefully you can do something with that haha! thanks!

My personal favorite generation of the Chevy Malibu.
Brad Meyer I had the year before. It was junk. And endless money pit.
Brad Meyer same
Fr the other ones blew it 😂💩
Me too
I like the 2004 generation
so excited to get this car in a few months
Did you get it

I wish the chime sounds like the price is right

Yeah, I have Auto-Stop. It scares me a lot...
***** When you stop at a light, you car turns off while you have your foot on the break, until let off the break and accelerate.
+Double m4n'z I rented it so I don't have it anymore but I never wanted to get rid of it honestly

You do the best car reviews keep up the good work Kyle
Wow, what great design, fit, finish, and technology. If it's reliable it's a winner in my book. I'm really impressed!
GM is doing good. They are really starting to get back into the game! :)
Love the car and the interior!

Wow, they are even more stylish. Definitely a big change. These are pretty sharp looking.
your vids get better and better.
such a pleasure to watch it.
Thanks!
This is my dream car!! Wonderful job Kyle.
this was a very useful reference video for a potential buyer. thanks for the time you took... one of the most thorough i've seen!
Thanks for the video! This new Malibu is a good example of the direction GM (and the American auto industry in general) ought to be going.
This is one of the prettiest Chevrolets I have seen in a long time!!
In my opinion Kyle you have the best videos on youtube :)
Niiiiiiice! Fast upload, thanks man!
Hope they bring this to the Philippines, then it would be a tough compet

I've watched so many reviews on this car and this is by far the best also I'm thinking about buying this car. Is it a good first car?
I was thinking this or 2010 BMW 328i can't decide |-:
@@theNickolasDean bmws are super unreliable. never recommend

@@theNickolasDean That’s what I want for my first. Let me know what year and model

I had one then i traded it in for a Trax. The malibu was a very nice car. If I ever need a sedan, I'll definitely look for one of these generations.
Actually the interieur of the car look really high-quality and nicely furnished. Like it a lot.
Now you will want to do the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu. Even though it is mostly the same as the 2013 they dropped this 2.4 Eco engine. They did small interior designs and added start/stop to the 2.5. They also changed the front grill on the 2014.
ArthinuxWilliams do you think I can put the 2014 front bumper on the 2013?
Thanks for all the hard work Kyle!
I've seen this car today on the street and it looks sooo beautiful!
I wish he would do test drives.
your the best !!!!
I bought the malibu because of this video
looks like a really cool car! thanks for explaining the switch below the head unit, I was really curious as to what that was for!
I like the white color. In one word: beautiful Chevrolet Malibu.
American cars have come a long way baby, just in the last two years. There are definite improvements in build quality.
This is actually a great vehicle. I'm impressed with the improved build quality and good looks. However it still falls short of the awesome Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata and 2013 Ford Fusion. But this vehicle offers plenty to be competitive.
I own a 13' 2LZ in premium red with tan leather, and every option available. It is one of the best cars I've ever owned.
I live in North Dakota, the gas here is about $3.65/gal. But the temperature get's to be about -30F to -40F in the winter. We use block heaters but they only keep the engine warm enough to start.

Oh my gosh I love this version of malibu
Not bad for a malibu, amazing fuel economy too.
Gm has come a long way with their vehicles
just got it today. thanks for the info
TJ King how did it work out? Lol.
TJ King u still got it?
Kyle, you should start giving the MPG info in your videos! It's really helpful!
It seems like this has a hybrid drive system similar to that of Honda's IMA. It's a parallel hybrid drive, where the electric motor is only there to assist the spark ignition engine in driving, and providing electricity for the vehicle at a stop.

Ryan Emery probably get the LT but Get the LT with the more horsepower, you can tell them apart by they’re rims
that was the fastest "hey everyone how is it going" ever
This is a really nice car. It is a good way to compete with the Sonata/Optima
hey Saab kyle I just got a 2016 Chevy Malibu ltz 1lz it's awsome looking have you heard if these are reliable vehicles thanks Ryan
Chevy finally gets how to do modern interiors
thank you mate ,,I was not paying attention
My dad use to have a 2003 base. It was great for the 10 years we had it
Beautiful, GM is making the best vehicles they have ever made now. They definitely deserved the bailout!
Damn this is actually a nice looking car...

Great video as always Kyle! But to quote Intechdude300 "That startup sounds something out of the 1960s"
I LOVE YOU KYLE!!!
love this car, have premium styling of mid class sedan with leather.. will buying it soon, i will..
How are you doing Kyle. Are you planning on reviewing the 2011-2012 Infiniti M56s? I've been waiting patiently for years! LOL. No pressure though, I'll still continue to patiently wait.
The best of both worlds!
You are a wonderful man in the imaging and comment
The cupholders in the center console also come out and there is more hidden storage underneath the cupholders.
Nice looking car overall, especially the interior, not especially too stoked about that "racer" dash or steering wheel.

My old '84 Chevette used to shut down at red traffic lights and stop signs.
Chevy was already ahead of its time!
much nicer than the old one
Yes, I would also like to see this, preferably with the options package.
Looking forward to 2013 Mustang!! Hope to see it soon!
I love the Camaro tail lights.
Great video Kyle x :)
I prefer the 2013 Chevy Malibu LTZ.
Thanks for the great review, weldone kkep it up, I enjoy your work. :)
NICELY DONE
saabkyle do you think the Chevy Malibu lt is a better vehicle than the 2012 Ford fusion del 2.5 liter 4 give me you review thanks Ryan
I have the 01 Malibu..its amazing how far its came!
The woodgrain accenting looks like it was inspired from the previous gen's LTZ model, it's nice. The 2.4 sounds just like mine does in my 2011 so it must be the LE5 or close to it.

Maybe you’re flex pipe needs to be changed?
Wow this is the Exact same color and interior as our 2013 Malibu Eco
i agree about the lacking fuel economy but looks are subjective. i think this looks waaaay better than the new altima
i love all the video
It looks absolutely massive. A truly impressive car, but, I guess it's just too big for me... But still gorgeous.
