Additional Description: For 2019 Chevrolet has updated its Malibu with new front and rear styling to help it compete with other midsize sedans such as the Ford Fusion Kia Optima Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Options abound on this latest Malibu including Apple CarPlay Android Auto automatic parking assist and adaptive cruise control. Theres also a new model for 2019: the RS. Its a sporty-looking Malibu with several blacked-out styling cues together with 18-inch wheels and a dual-outlet exhaust. As before the Malibu is powered by a choice of a 1.5- or 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine or a hybrid setup derived from that in the Chevrolet Volt. Driving the 2019 Chevrolet MalibuWe drove a Chevrolet Malibu Premium equipped with the 2.0-liter turbo and a 9-speed automatic transmission. The powertrain worked well propelling the Malibu quickly off the line aided by a rocker switch on the gearshift selector that allows for manual gearshifts. Although this system works well wed rather the Malibu had a nice pair of steering-wheel paddle shifters preferably made of metal instead of plastic. The Malibus electric-assist steering is direct and nicely weighted while delivering good feedback. Although our Malibus big 19-inch wheel/tire setup should have made for a jarring ride such was not the case. The well-sorted suspension with a multilink rear absorbs bumps just as easily as it tackles tight corners and rapid lane changes. While the Malibus driving dynamics are not up to those of the Mazda6 or Honda Accord Chevys midsize sedan certainly feels livelier than the Nissan Altima and Hyundai FeaturesAPPLE CARPLAY AND ANDROID AUTOComplementing the Malibus marvelous touch-screen infotainment system is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both programs now standard on all 2019 Malibu models allow a mirror image of the users smartphone to be operated via the audio system making life on the road infinitely more DRIVERWorried your kids will drive like you did when you first got your license? Fear not. The Malibus Teen Driver can help you keep tabs on them by monitoring their speed and where the car has traveled. You can even mute the audio until everyone onboard buckles Chevrolet Malibu InteriorChevrolet designers have done a good of making the Malibu as attractive inside as it is out. Indeed the 2019 Malibu has a handsome interior and we like the infotainment systems mix of big icons and physical knobs and buttons. Its a functional and aesthetically pleasing design among the most attractive in the midsize-sedan class. In addition to the big and clear gauges we like the curving dash and the excellent outward view. Whats more the Malibus front seats are comfortable able to accommodate people of any body size. While the rear seats offer plenty of legroom for tall adults headroom is not especially Chevrolet Malibu ExteriorChevrolet has updated the Malibu for 2019 with an intricately sculpted new grille as well as integrated headlights and dual-element taillights. While similar updates have been made to the Cruze and Spark for 2019 the shared design DNA thankfully does not result in small medium and large versions of the same car. Malibu wheel sizes range from 16 inches all the way up to Chevrolet Malibu Standard FeaturesWhile the base Chevy Malibu L model used to offer just the basics air conditioning cruise control and an AM/FM radio it now gets a new rear-vision camera and the 8-inch infotainment screen offering Bluetooth audio streaming along with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto so its not quite the rental-fleet special it once was. The very good 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder which now mounts exclusively to a CVT includes stop/start and hill-start assist. On the safety front the Malibu has 10 airbags plus stability control and OnStar which automatically dials for help in an accident. Also notable the Hybrid and Premier both receive a high-def rear-vision camera for Chevrolet Malibu OptionsThere are powertrain choices in the form of the Malibu Hybrid and the 2.0-liter turbo in Premier models. Beyond that the Malibu offers ever-increasing levels of technology including available adaptive cruise control blind-spot warning forward-collision alert and rear cross-traffic alert. Theres a 4G LTE-powered Wi-Fi hotspot to help you find your dinner spot the available on-board navigation system can help you get there and the Automatic Parking Assist can even help you park when you arrive. And of course theres available leather upholstery with Premier models offering automatic climate Chevrolet Malibu EngineStandard on all 2019 Chevy Malibu models from L through LT is the 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine which formerly mounted to a 6-speed automatic transmission but now is fitted exclusively to a CVT for improved fuel economy. This frugal drivetrain has little problem moving the Malibu and it likely will improve upon the 2018 EPA rating of 36 mpg on the highway. Premier models get the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder which gets the new Malibu moving without hesitation. Fitted with a 9-speed automatic transmission this Malibu gets 33 mpg on the highway which is competitive for the segment. The hybrid combines two electric motors and a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder for a combined 182 net horsepower and up to 49 mpg in the city. All the engines run on regular gasoline; premium is recommended for the 2.0-liter but not required.* While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information we are not responsible for any errors or omissions contained on these pages.
