Eye-Catching Exterior
As the only sedan remaining in the Chevrolet lineup, the Malibu has undergone some extensive changes over the years. From the outside, the 2021 model shows off an aggressive oversized front grille, sporty lights, and a rounded body style that helps it stand out on the road. The base model includes 16-inch alloy wheels and automatic halogen headlights. If you want a sportier model, check out the RS trim, which includes 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, dual exhaust, and a black front grille with complementary badges. Additional exterior options include LED headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a dual-pane sunroof.
Efficient and Powerful Engine
Most of the trim levels of the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu include a capable 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. It works with a continuously variable transmission with front-wheel drive. EPA fuel economy estimates for this powertrain come in at 29 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.
At the top of the list, the Premier trim comes with a powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This unit produces 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque when mated with the standard nine-speed automatic transmission.
Spacious, Modern Cabin
The cabin of this midsize sedan is spacious and comfortable, showcasing premium soft-touch materials. Even the base trim level includes keyless entry and ignition, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, premium cloth upholstery, and all power accessories. As you move through the trim levels, you can equip your Malibu with options like leather upholstery, heated rear outboard seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear air vents, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.
Innovative Tech and Safety Equipment
The Malibu also doesn’t disappoint when it comes to safety and tech features. This sedan comes well-equipped on the safety side, boasting 10 air bags throughout the cabin, stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes, a rearview camera, tire pressure monitoring, and Teen Driver settings, which allow parents to set volume and speed limits for their teenage drivers. You can also add one of the Driver Confidence packages to get options like rear parking sensors, lane-keep assist, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and collision mitigation braking.
Standard tech features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, 8-inch touch-screen, and a six-speaker audio system.
