1 thing he didnt mention about the interior, right in front of the center arm rest is a wireless phone charger. It's the little slot in between the shifter and arm rest. And I believe it also has interior accent lights that looks really nice at night. I know the 2016 Malibu LT has them.
I think Chevy needs to offer a more powerful engine so it can compete with the new 300hp Camry and Fusion sport both cars does 0-60 in under 5.8s. Camry in 5.5s and Fusion Sport does it in 4.8s.
Unfortunately they didn't have a redline edition for the 2017 model year. It was only available on a few Chevy models, this year they're putting it on pretty much everything!
Beautiful car but still needs an all wheel drive option, there are cars in its class that have it and GM is still behind on all wheel drive cars which is a shame considering the beautiful line they have right now
Definitely agreed Jeremy! On the SUV side they've at least added a switchable all-wheel-drive feature. Now to get it on the cars, maybe by removing the Impala they'll expand the options on the Malibu :)
the biggest problem with this car is that it's not AWD and the engine is too small and weak. Chevy should consider having a v6 variant and a v8 variant of this car to replace the Chevy SS.
lol great question! best way I can explain it is like a retractable window shade. very thin roller in the back and tracks along the sides. the shade isn't a solid piece that slides, it's more of a sheet of fabric that rolls up. hope that makes sense :)
I test drive new cars for work. The 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid blows the 2018 Chevy Impala (non-hybrid) to bits. The Impala has super floaty steering and yes really less power than the fusion. The cruise control is a major bonus w the Ford. Instead of speeding coasting down a hill, the engine downshiftss and charges the battery. Chevy impalas cruise is a lot more effort to tweak and the buttons are gimpy. W the Ford you can quickly take it off eco settings when you need power. Disclaimer my baby is an 03 Ford Lightning and this car impressed me. While getting 34-36 mpg driving in beast mode! *Noted this was a Malibu not an Impala. They seem the same to me
Nice Ken got the same car in the 2017 model. From chevy in July. Wish I got the red line pack. I just hot the lt with the 1.5L only thing I didn't like paint scratch extremely bad in clear. Just had have chevy booth it out do to I did know where came from see a month after I got it. Had have xm fixed also. But it's a great car.
Thanks James! The Redline Package just became available on the 2018 model year for the Malibu. Not sure why Chevy waited so long, but we're seeing it on a lot of models now and they all look SWEET!
I get it, but the market has been pushing fuel efficiency thus the 4 cyl boom. The turbo's really give it power though! Bryan Olivo knows it now too. Either the 1.5 or the 2.0, there's plenty of power and acceleration. The 4 cyl engines of today can't be compared to the scary and troublesome 4 cyl engines from 20-40 years ago, they're a completely different animal now :)
Hey its Mosaic Black Metallic. Did I mention its Mosaic Black Metallic? Mosaic Black Metallic is the color. This car is black with cool red stuff. It's this black color that they call Metallic Diablo Red. They call this color Mona Lisa Ebony. This car is Black Panther Merica. I think this car color is called blacked out fire ball of death.
The Charger has more overall space and trunk space compared to the Malibu. That said, I wouldn't put them in the same category. I think the Charger is more comparable to the Impala. Keep in mind that the Malibu does have a LOT better fuel economy, especially with the 1.5L engine.
2B1ASK1 hey there, I wasn’t really looking for a fast car I just want a good looking interior and exterior. Thats why I was thinking of getting a Dodge Charger SE (blacktop) or Chevy Malibu (redline). But most likely I’d buy chevy its way more cheaper and a gas saver. 😅
Pesos Coróña Oh ok I was just curious lol. I like both cars but I think the Chevy is a smoother ride as well seems to be Built better. I drive a charger rt and it's not as bad on gas as you'd think but you have to drive light.
I hope it doesn't have that automatic turn on turn off when you're at a red light or at a stop both were a pain in the butt that's why I got rid of my 2015 Malibu
Yes, more and more have it standard, not just in the Chevy line-up but in the industry as a whole. It helps a lot with fuel economy, but I would like to see Chevy give the option of turning it off.
Bohemia Lite I personally own this exact car but a 2016 year model and well after a year and a half now. The Start stop is pretty seamless that it's very normal. I trip people out and I find that funny. I've gone off the line a tad faster than a German car with the same tech.
Does this have heated seats? If not, what package would you need to add them? And would that still work with the redline, and convenience and tech package?
Great questions Tyler! This one does not have a heated seats, but it can be added to the LT trim with the Leather Package which can be combined with the Convenience and Tech Package. Heated seats are standard on the Premier trim, but the Redline Edition is only on the LT trim. If you live near Cleveland, OH, we have 28 (LT with redline, leather, and convenience/tech packages) within a 100 mile radius. Looks like they're finally putting more of these into production! :)
Ken Birdsall so can you have the redline with the convenience and tech, leather package, and sunroof? Basically I just want a redline with remote start, sunroof, and heated seats, but I’m not sure if that’s a possible combination.
The sunroof becomes an issue, for some reason GM hasn't built one. I ran a search on the entire US and there isn't an LT redline edition, convenience/tech package, leather package, and sunroof (lots of results showed up until I added sunroof and then they all went away). I'm sure it could be done on a custom order, you may have to wait a couple months to get it though.
I've never personally had a vehicle sold and shipped to another country but we have with some of our classic cars. If you're serious about purchasing one, I'd be glad to help. Please email me at kbirdsall@sunnysideauto.com
At that point you might as well just spring for an ATS. Most of the stuff in premier trim comes on the standard trim and comes with an awd option and with a slightly more powerful turbo 4.
Nothing that I've caught wind of. There's been such a fuel efficiency push lately that's moved everyone to 4 cyl turbos. Nothing quite like a true v6 power in my opinion, would love to see some more engine options on the Malibu!
LED Daytime Running Lamps are standard on the LT, Hybrid, and Premier. A step up to the Premier will give you the 2.0L engine with 250HP as well as the 9 speed transmission.
"So the Malibu Redline gets 160 on the speedometer and the Impala Midnight Edition gets 140 on the Speedometer. I dont get it." GM is not giving the impala much love.
They used to have the SS but didn't sell many (probably in-part because of price-point). The car market is tough and has been drastically declining while truck & suv sales are rapidly increasing. Unfortunately, the call to cut a lot of the car models is better long-term.
iv alwase like chevy but come on y mess up a car with that lame as 4cyl like come on at least offer a v6 version its a waste cuz this cars are really nice
Have you had a chance to drive either of the turbo engine options? I just sold a 27 year old a Malibu with the 1.5 and he said he would have believed me had I said it was a v6. He also drove the 2.0 and was VERY impressed. Both are 4 cyl but the turbo gives them the v6 power feel. The industry and pressure to hit fuel efficiency requirements have forced most auto makers to move to 4 cyl/turbo engines. Nothing quite like a v6, but I don't think either of these engines are lacking :)
@@KBCarsChevyChannel agree, more and more most manufacturers are turning to turbo 4 cylinders for fuel mileage. Nowadays most 2.0 turbo's can outrun alot of your V8 cars and trucks due to more lightweight and better Transmissions.
The auto stop hurt this vehicle I had the Malibu 2016 limited old body style like the 2015s every time is back up in reverse it would make a big loud clunk sounded like the transmission was gonna fall out all cause of the auto start stop the transmission was ready but the engine had a felt when it kick on it made the tranny clunk I got rid of that fucker real quick
model comparison for a Rogue would be an Equinox. I can show you Equinoxes that are $5k less than this as well. So apples to apples would be similar, this is a different animal
1.5 litre 160HP 4 cylinder.Not good enough.Too weak especially at standstill acceleration.If you ever need a fast acceleration to save your life none of these 2010-to present Malibu 4 cylinder models will do it.I had a 2010,13,15,and now a 17.And I never liked the auto stop and it actually quit working!first time I was ever glad to see a new car of mine malfunction.They seriously need to stop all this technology and bring back v8's and dual exhaust.Pay all this money and for what??
Hi Ben, thanks for the comments. Turbo's can be cool but with the industry forced to produced vehicles with better fuel economy, unfortunately power is going to take a hit. Auto stop can be a good feature too but again, it's becoming an industry norm now. I would like to see Chevy put an override option in though for those who don't like it.
Yeah don't get me wrong I DO like the car and body style reminds me of an Audi I just wish it had bigger motor.I started driving in mid 80's when v8's were still everywhere if anyone had a 4 cylinder back then you were REQUIRED to be ashamed of it.After all these years i guess I never grew out of that
LOL i get it! I have a 4 banger in my car and my wife has a v6 (how'd that happen!?!?)...i do enjoy driving her car a lot more lol On the flip side, I do get a lot better gas mileage (I do more driving, so I get the wimpier but more efficient engine).
chevy is full of shit jst pick up my 2018 last mth and boy do it have problems already push to start is str8 shit car cut off on me and its so much plastic inside you only get you money on high end levels sad. so we took our ass over to Ford and boy the fusion Sport for the cost of a lt bye Malibu hello Fusion sport sorry not sorry
i like the design a lot better than the current impala
They should have at least made the seats leather with red line trim
Lance 19 I have this car. Mine has leather
they are
Jessica Opie mine doesnt
If the SS looked like this, maybe it would've sold more...
Nah, I still like the Commodore rebadge better
Dang these midnight editions are sick!
1 thing he didnt mention about the interior, right in front of the center arm rest is a wireless phone charger. It's the little slot in between the shifter and arm rest. And I believe it also has interior accent lights that looks really nice at night. I know the 2016 Malibu LT has them.

Malibu premier can do 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds and turn the quarter mile at 14.3 at almost 100 mph and top speed is drag limited at 153 mph.
I like the gray dually in background. And the red pickup in view
Gotta admit, this car continues to impress me. I will be getting a new car soon and this is in my top 3
This and the cruze are beautiful
Cruze sucks :/ sns.
Man that sucker looks slick as hell! Wish I would have found one of these when I got my 17 Malibu... I'm actually a little upset about it lol.
Unfortunately they didn't have a redline edition for the 2017 model year. It was only available on a few Chevy models, this year they're putting it on pretty much everything!
Good looking car with tons of features
It should have the 2.0 turbo. That 1.5 sounds like a lawn mower.
What a beautiful car.
Beautiful car but still needs an all wheel drive option, there are cars in its class that have it and GM is still behind on all wheel drive cars which is a shame considering the beautiful line they have right now

tawa it really really is a dream sedan it's most beautiful
I hope Chevy brings back the Malibu SS.
Me too! Maybe with a phase out of the Impala they could give more Malibu options
Take out that “Auto Stop” and id love it!
Just drive it on L6 and goodbye to autostop
@@malibunextgen1025 Or wait untill the future( 2019) and Gm included an override button.
the biggest problem with this car is that it's not AWD and the engine is too small and weak. Chevy should consider having a v6 variant and a v8 variant of this car to replace the Chevy SS.
Rumor has it that the Impala will be going away after the 18 model year. I'm hoping they expand the Malibu options instead!
The Impala will be going away after next year? First Ive heard of that
Chevy had hinted at it, but has since announced that they'll be doing 2019's. It's a really low seller and GM has enough luxury cars as it is.
I own this car myself and the small engine is great for everyday driving. 40mpg on long drives and spools very nice with the factory Bov.
2fast4all Is the engine strong enough for the size of this car?
That's a dream sedan !!!😉
Tawfiq Musleh I have it it’s so nice
5:49 Stupid question: Where in thee hell is the shade going/coming from? IT VIOLATES MY UNDERSTANDING OF SPACE/TIME!!!
lol great question! best way I can explain it is like a retractable window shade. very thin roller in the back and tracks along the sides. the shade isn't a solid piece that slides, it's more of a sheet of fabric that rolls up. hope that makes sense :)
we have two on our lot right now (2018's)! check out www.sunnysidechevrolet.com
Got it, that would definitely make it a lot harder to find! That was quite a deal! Haven't seen any pre-owned ones here yet.
It's not a fast car but for sure it's stylish as hell
I love this car. Will Chevy be coming out with Redline Malibus in 2019?
Great question! Haven't heard any official news yet, but they've been a hot seller so I would be surprised if they didn't continue it.
The roof line looks real good on the new Malibus, i dont care for the red accents tho.
I luv gm`s head unit graphics.

Stop moving the camerra around so fast. I couldn't see or find a Turbo in the engine bay. Where is it located?
Do you still have to take off the hole front of the car just to change a headlight
Great question Mike! I'm no mechanic, but I've heard it's still a pain.
They should of put 20's or 22's black wheels as the package
Does the new Malibu have CarPlay and a heated steering wheel?
Yes, all new Malibu's have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Heated steering wheel is standard on the Premier trim level.
hold up
a
1.5L????
I have it in silver 😬 but mine didn’t come with the sun roof :(
I think the silver redline is my favorite! The build features varied a LOT on these, some with/without sunroof some with/without leather, etc.
New impala body style should have looked like this.
Very nice car! Wish it had a sunglass holder though
I considered buying another Malibu (had an 08) however the size of the engine scared me off. I think it's too small.
I bought a 17 Impala instead.
michael tipton That 1.5 turbo gets it done. I just bought one. Love it!
I get it, but the market has been pushing fuel efficiency thus the 4 cyl boom. The turbo's really give it power though! Bryan Olivo knows it now too.

DONT LET THAT SCARE YA IT HAS PLENTY OF POWER WITH THE TURBO
Is the wireless charging compatible with iphone X
Hi Cruzin, any phones that are equipped with wireless qi charging can be charged with any of Chevy's wireless chargers :)

Great video. May wanna trade my Buick in for this. My only thing about this video is you say "UM" a lot. Lol but that thing is beautiful.
Which car is much spacious Chevy Malibu or Dodge Charger? I’m thinkin about what will I take chevy or dodge. Thanks! 👍🏼 😅
The Charger has more overall space and trunk space compared to the Malibu. That said, I wouldn't put them in the same category. I think the Charger is more comparable to the Impala. Keep in mind that the Malibu does have a LOT better fuel economy, especially with the 1.5L engine.
Ken Birdsall Thank you & I appreciate your respond! 😊👍🏼
Pesos Coróña I'm just curious which engine was you considering in the dodge?
2B1ASK1 hey there, I wasn’t really looking for a fast car I just want a good looking interior and exterior. Thats why I was thinking of getting a Dodge Charger SE (blacktop) or Chevy Malibu (redline). But most likely I’d buy chevy its way more cheaper and a gas saver. 😅

My 18 redline malibu didnt come with sunroof
It's an optional upgrade, but for that car it should be standard
How big is the panorama?!

This is more in competition with the Nissan altima, Mazda 6, ford fusion,and Honda civic
Correct
olskoollover01 not Civic, but with Accord.
How can you put mode sport with a malibu 2018 2.0t I can't find the button
There's no official sport mode, but if you shift to "L" you can use the buttons on the top of the shifter (+ and -) to manually shift between gears.
19 inch wheel?
Correct
Can you get the 2.0 turbo in the redline?
Unfortunately, no. The 2.0 requires the Premier trim and the Redline Edition is only available on the LT trim.
Does this have heated seats? If not, what package would you need to add them? And would that still work with the redline, and convenience and tech package?

If the Redline Edition was available on the Premier trim, that would be perfect!
when does the malibu will change the exterior ?
Hi Felipe! Chevy changed the body style half way through 2016 to this new look. It'll probably be a few more years before they change it again.
1970 Malibu vs 2018 Malibu!
They shouldve put a v6 or even a v8 instead of the 1.5LT it would be way cooler. Cool car anyways... 10/10 would buy if it had a v8 or v6...
Good review
Thanks :)
I would like to import this car to Saudi arabia.. How is it possible?
I've never personally had a vehicle sold and shipped to another country but we have with some of our classic cars. If you're serious about purchasing one, I'd be glad to help. Please email me at kbirdsall@sunnysideauto.com
No dual rear exhausts!?
On the Premier with the 2.0L turbo :)
So...a spare tire...instead of an inflator kit.
YES! Very glad they went back to the spare :) An inflator kit isn't very helpful in a tire blowout situation.
Ken Birdsall You got that right.
good old spare tyres are better
Sir I think you messed up with the horsepower my dad has a Chevy Malibu 2017 2.0 turbo and it’s 270 hp and 260 t??
This one has the 1.5L engine. For 2018's the 1.5L has 163HP/184 lb-ft torque and the 2.0L has 250HP/260 lb-ft torque.
Ken Birdsall Oh ok sir thanks for the reply I got confused 😐
No worries, it's hard to keep it all straight. I do appreciate people checking me, I've goofed on a few things lol
No leather seats
Available on the LT with the Leather Package and standard on the Premier
Beautiful car, just wish chevy would’ve added 200hp and a good awd system . This could’ve been a world class car.
Upgrade to the 2.0L Turbo on the Premier and you'll get 250HP. I agree on the AWD though, Chevy definitely needs to enter the arena on that one!
EXACTLY!!!!!! You give this smoke show a 1.5 liter engine.....that's bullshit
At that point you might as well just spring for an ATS. Most of the stuff in premier trim comes on the standard trim and comes with an awd option and with a slightly more powerful turbo 4.
The engineers wanted to keep weight as low as possible. They considered AWD but decided not to add it.
the Chevy Malibu is the same vehicle like a Opel Insignia or...???
Similar I believe. I don't know much about Opel's but it appears that they are similar.
Most likely since Opel is owned by General Motors and the French PSA group.
Do you guys deliver to Texas?
I'm sure we could figure something out. I've had vehicles delivered to Minnesota, NYC, and Georgia before :)
Can you turn stop start system off?
Unfortunately, not at this time. Hoping that will be coming soon!
Ken Birdsall Thanks for the reply. Does gm plan to offer another v6 in the malibu?
Nothing that I've caught wind of. There's been such a fuel efficiency push lately that's moved everyone to 4 cyl turbos. Nothing quite like a true v6 power in my opinion, would love to see some more engine options on the Malibu!
Needs day time running LD headlights and 200 HP
LED Daytime Running Lamps are standard on the LT, Hybrid, and Premier. A step up to the Premier will give you the 2.0L engine with 250HP as well as the 9 speed transmission.
As soon as you get replacement tires.. those wheels are scratched....
A Master peace
"So the Malibu Redline gets 160 on the speedometer and the Impala Midnight Edition gets 140 on the Speedometer. I dont get it." GM is not giving the impala much love.
Much more emphasis on the Malibu as it's more affordable and sells 3 to 1 over the Impala.
Ken Birdsall true. But is the flagship of chevy yet doesn’t get much play as in Hp and performance.
Nice car.
Alright car!.......chevy should come up with their v8 sedan.....dodge made the charger, im suprised chevy didnt do something to compete
They used to have the SS but didn't sell many (probably in-part because of price-point). The car market is tough and has been drastically declining while truck & suv sales are rapidly increasing. Unfortunately, the call to cut a lot of the car models is better long-term.
I have Malibu 2013 and it is much better in terms of interior and exterior design and the tech aspects
3.6 would have made a nice addition 👉
I want it I’m good paint chrome rims
Sorry but $29,000 I better be getting leather seats and trim...
just sticker price, sold for $21,000(ish). leather is optional on this trim, we have a couple with it too.
nice rental car!!
An extra $2000 over an LT with the Leather package just for some paint.
Nice car but a punk ass engine, swap it out with a LS3 with a good transmission please. Convert to a custom 2018 Malibu SS
Insane BARZ so true 👍🏼
ONE BAD THING .... I WOULD HAVE WANTED NETS INSTEAD ON BACK SEATS
What do you mean by nets on the back seats?
Ken Birdsall instead solid pockets its very strong netting, i have them in my malibu
Ken Birdsall my 2011 malibu LT
Got it, they've switched back and forth a few times, who knows, they may bring it back :)
Ken Birdsall lets hope!
Yeah I kno . its nice
What is its cost
MSRP $29,440 before discounts and rebates
Ken Birdsall
Thanks for your Reply.Bro
I want one ... But at the price of 13k
Wait a couple years and buy it as a certified pre-owned (CPO). Great car!
A new Mazda 6 would roast this
My wife loves her Mazda 6!
Thats good but if they're going to call it Red Line then it should have been the 2.0.
richard button i think they should have beefed-up the 2.5 l and put that in turbo charged man that 2.5 L was a good engine
richard button lol I'm late seeing this but the Malibu 2.0T is much faster than a Mazda6. Until next year the Turbo Mazda6 comes out
iv alwase like chevy but come on y mess up a car with that lame as 4cyl like come on at least offer a v6 version its a waste cuz this cars are really nice

Nope comparing prices
model comparison for a Rogue would be an Equinox. I can show you Equinoxes that are $5k less than this as well. So apples to apples would be similar, this is a different animal
No leather no buy
Like too many Chevys these days seems like a nice car about 15% overpriced.
Wait for the sales, that's just MSRP. In December you could pick it up for $22,000, extremely competitive!
29.000 for a Malibu with no leather seats
If its been V8
Get the SS, Camaro, or Corvette. The market has moved regular sedans to be more economical instead of power/performance driven.
1.5 litre 160HP 4 cylinder.Not good enough.Too weak especially at standstill acceleration.If you ever need a fast acceleration to save your life none of these 2010-to present Malibu 4 cylinder models will do it.I had a 2010,13,15,and now a 17.And I never liked the auto stop and it actually quit working!first time I was ever glad to see a new car of mine malfunction.They seriously need to stop all this technology and bring back v8's and dual exhaust.Pay all this money and for what??
