A white Chevrolet sedan

A mid-size sedan like the 2025 Chevy Malibu has enough room for your growing family, yet is still small enough to navigate narrow urban and suburban streets with ease. This iconic model has a fresh selection of standard features, eco-friendly performance, and plenty of opportunities to customize the vehicle to meet your functional and aesthetic preferences. See why drivers adore the Malibu before you contact your Chevy dealer.

1. Fuel Saving Performance

A mid-size model like the Malibu is a great choice if you want to save money at the pump. This model is equipped with a lightweight 1.5-liter turbocharged motor, which is designed to increase air intake so more air is mixed with fuel for greater efficiency. This turbocharged motor delivers an output of 163 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. A CVT transmission and FWD drivetrain are standard, so you can enjoy easy-breezy handling.


In terms of fuel efficiency, the Malibu has a combined fuel economy of 31 MPG. In the city, this mid-size sedan gets 28 MPG, while on the interstate, the full economy is estimated at 36 MPG. This model has a 15.8-gallon fuel tank capacity, so the combined total driving range is around 489 miles. 



2. Flexible Family Seating

The Malibu can keep up with your growing family thanks to flexible seat features, such as the 60/40 split-folding rear seat. This folding seat feature allows drivers to fold down one or both sides of the back bench seat to make room for large cargo. This model also has a LATCH system compatible with child car seats, so you can quickly install or uninstall everything from baby carriers to booster seats. 



3. Tons of Upgrades

You can customize the Malibu, either by custom ordering through Chevy’s online shop or by placing an order at your local dealership. The popular Floor Liner Package replaces all the standard floor liners with all-weather mats and adds a cargo mat to the trunk to protect it from wear and tear. For the highest trim, the Driver Confidence and Cruise Package, upgrades safety technology with Automatic Parking Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking. 


Drivers can also upgrade to individual features, such as a dual-pane power sunroof available for the upper trims. The base Malibu can be customized with a rear spoiler, front license plate bracket, and a keyless entry keypad. The keypad allows drivers to set a five-digit passkey to unlock the vehicle doors without a physical key or key fob. 


The Malibu is designed with family practicality in mind, from saving on gas during a family road trip to a safety seat system that can secure child seats for all ages. Drop by for a test drive at Atwater Chevrolet GMC in Aitkin, MN.
