2020 Chevrolet Malibu Model Review

What's New For the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu?

The sporty grille and stylish Chevrolet bowtie that greets you on the front end of the Malibu is a stunning introduction to the model. In 2020, the Malibu is more versatile and stylish than ever before, a testament to what a midsize sedan is capable of in this modern age. You have 15.7 cubic inches of cargo space for your haul when you head home or out anywhere. Up to 250 horsepower of "go" awaits you on this mechanical marvel. Smart wheel choices like 18" bright machined aluminum wheels with Lunar Gray pockets are at your fingertips. Your only difficult decision is deciding which trim of this elegant midsize sedan you want to take home to your family.

The Malibu Has Many Features Across Five Trims

The Malibu's base model L offers comforts and sportiness aplenty. Still, if you're not the primary type of buyer, there's also the LS, RS, LT, and Premier to choose from, with the Premier being the fully loaded creature that Chevy intended the Malibu to be. Take a look at some of the most impressive of the Malibu's 2020 attributes:

   
• Electronically-controlled 9-speed automatic transmission (Premier)
   
• Acoustic laminated glass (All trims)
   
• Automatic on/off headlamps (All trims)
   
• Black grille with Chrome surround (RS)
   
• 8" diagonal color touch-screen display (All trims)
   
• Cabin air filter (All trims)
   
• Bose® premium 9-speaker audio system (Premier)
   
• Dark Atmosphere/ Light Wheat, Leather-appointed seat trim (Available on LT)
   
• Dual-zone automatic climate control (LT and Premier)

What's Under the Hood of the 2020 Malibu?

Two bold engine choices are yours on the Malibu. A 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine is standard on the RS, LT, and other lower trims and features 160 horsepower. The Premier features a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that's good for 250 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque, a crowning achievement of the Malibu, and a sign that Chevy is powering forward into the future with this one. They show no signs of abandoning their beloved brand, and they've powered it up nicely in 2020.

2020 Chevrolet Malibu has an Abundance of Safety Features

Electronic Grade Braking is a unique safety feature of your Malibu. It allows you to stop riding the brakes so much while on a downhill slope, as it will maintain a constant speed and keep things less bumpy. That's one of the little touches Chevy tossed in. Expect all of your advanced safety features to be available on select trims. An HD Rear Vision Camera is standard on the Premier. Front Pedestrian Braking, front collision alert, and Following distance indicator are all available on the LT and Premier. All trims are OnStar® & Chevrolet Connected Services, capable for more reassurance. And don't forget the Teen Driver system that follows you wherever your teen goes and keeps track of their driving performance, as well as giving them features to keep them safe during their first years driving. It's a total safety package that fans of the brand are grateful for.
