One of Chevrolet’s most enduring family models is a mid-size sedan crafted for urban and suburban driving. The 2025 Chevrolet Malibu is a flagship model with key updates for safety, infotainment, and urban efficiency. See why the Malibu is a perfect choice for keeping up with your small family’s busy schedule.
A 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine gives the Malibu a perky personality that responds the instant you hit the gas pedal. This compact powertrain produces 163 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque for reliable and sporty performance. The engine is married to a highly efficient continuous variable transmission, which improves fuel efficiency by optimizing transmission gear ratios based on performance demand.
Comfortable Cabin
This five-seater sedan has a spacious cabin that offers 41.5 inches of front-row legroom and 38.1 inches of second-row legroom. On top of a passenger volume of 102 cubic feet, which offers plenty of internal cargo space for child car seats, backpacks, and other essentials, this model has a dedicated cargo room of 15.7 cubic feet.
This family-oriented model has a LATCH system for quick and easy child car seat installation, from infant seats to booster seats for older children. Front bucket seats and a 40/60 split-folding rear bench seat are standard. On upper models like the 1LT FWD, the driver’s seat has power-adjustable lumbar control to support the driver’s lower back for maximum comfort.
Safety Technology
The Malibu comes with the Chevy Safety Assist suite of advanced driver assistance software, such as forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, and a following distance indicator that warns the driver about tailgating. A lane-keep assist system keeps the sedan centered between lane markers, while a lane departure warning system alerts drivers about drifting into neighboring lanes without the use of a turn signal.
Available safety tech includes lane change alert with side blind zone alert and rear cross-traffic alert. Each of these systems uses rear-facing sensors and cameras to identify vehicles behind you, particularly when cars enter your blind zone while you’re attempting to change lanes or back out of a parking space.
Entertainment Software
The Malibu is outfitted with the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, which is installed on an eight-inch central touchscreen. This infotainment unit can host connections from two Bluetooth-enabled devices to stream music or perform hands-free phone actions and wireless smartphone-integrated apps. Standard voice command technology allows you to adjust entertainment and in-vehicle settings hands-free.
The Malibu is a fantastic vehicle for small families on the go thanks to comfortable cabin features and key safety technologies. Ask about current finance offers at Autry Morlan Chevrolet in Dexter, MO.
