With a new grille and fascia, the 2019 Malibu midsize car completes a refreshing design update that demands attention before you even step inside its refined interior. Also new in 2019 is the debut of the exciting and sporty Malibu RS† that turns up the wow factor at a price you’ll appreciate.
Malibu received the lowest rate of reported problems among midsize cars in the J.D. Power 2019 U.S. Initial Quality Study (based on 2019 vehicles).†
The newly redesigned front fascia of the Malibu demands attention as soon as you face it. That sleek, sporty and sculpted exterior continues to impress from every aerodynamic angle — accented by available LED daytime running lamps, dual exhaust outlets and LED taillamps.
Inside, Malibu keeps your comfort front and center. You’ll find a spacious, comfortable and quiet interior with refined touches like available steering wheel-mounted controls that put ingenious technology at your fingertips.
The new RS† brings a new level of style to the Malibu lineup. The exterior features an exposed dual exhaust design, a rear spoiler, unique 18-inch machined wheels, Black sport grille and bowtie emblems, and RS badging. Inside, you'll find a leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel, and a power driver seat.
This midsize car offers two turbocharged engines that allow you to choose the balance you want between performance and fuel efficiency.†
The turbocharged 1.5L ECOTEC® engine employs fuel-saving† technologies including Variable Valve Timing, Direct Injection and stop/start technology. It powers a sporty, responsive ride that offers an impressive 36 MPG highway† and a maximum highway range of up to 560 miles per tank.†
Malibu Premier offers exhilarating performance pairing a 250-horsepower 2.0L turbocharged ECOTEC engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Outstanding efficiency and ample "oomph" when you need it. Both come standard in the Malibu Hybrid with its 1.8L hybrid engine and powertrain. A host of hybrid-exclusive features like the Driver Efficiency Gauge let you monitor your fuel usage and regeneration. A larger 8-inch diagonal, reconfigurable Driver Information Center comes standard in 2019.
Available advanced safety technologies can help give you added driving confidence.
Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.
Available Teen Driver offers an industry-first in-vehicle report card to help parents encourage better driving habits. The in-vehicle report card is visible on the available Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System† display. This built-in Teen Driver technology (if equipped) can help parents coach new drivers to become better drivers even when you are not in the car.
This midsize car offers the kind of ingenious technology that can keep you entertained and connected while you’re on the road.
