Basics About the Chevy Malibu
This family car comes with huge cargo space, up to 15.7 cu. ft., and an optional 8-way power driver seat for optimal comfort. The Chevrolet Infotainment System makes it easy to stay in touch with your loved ones while on the go and provides multiple entertainment options for your kids on the road. The Malibu has a wide range of driver-assist features to help enhance safety on the road.
There are two engines available for this popular car: a 1.5L turbo engine, which is more energy-efficient, and a 2L turbo engine, which is more powerful. The 1.5L engine can reach up to 29 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on a highway. The 2L engine can reach up to 22 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on a highway. Electric Power Steering lets you stay in control of the car more easily.
New/Unique Features
There are a few differences between the 2021 Malibu and the 2022 Malibu. In 2022 the base trim, called L, was discontinued. Also, the electronic parking brake feature is now standard for all trims. The electronic parking brake lets you activate the parking brake with the push of a button instead of the traditional pedals or levers. This makes the parking brake easier to use and faster in case of an emergency.
For 2022, the Malibu comes in four trims: LS, RS, LT, and Premier. The LS trim comes with a 1.5L engine, Continuously Variable Transmission, and 10 airbags. The RS trim has exterior badges and emblems, a chrome grille with black accents, and uniquely-shaped 18-inch wheels. The LT trim has daytime-running LED lamps, 17-inch aluminum wheels with a unique shape, and heated outside mirrors. The Premier trim comes with the 2L engine as a standard feature and 9-speed automatic transmission.
The Driver Assist Features
The Chevrolet Malibu comes with a portfolio of driver-assist features that actively help prevent collisions and other mishaps on the road. With the optional Adaptive Cruise Control, the vehicle automatically maintains a preset distance from vehicles ahead of you, even while you’re steering. You can set the specific distance yourself. This way, you won’t have to brake or accelerate multiple times when on a trafficked road.
The Teen Driver Technology comes as a standard feature for all trims. It’s a suite of features that help the new driver to form safe driving habits. The Buckle-to-Drive feature prevents the driver from shifting out of park if the seat belt is not fastened. An in-vehicle report provides the parents with information about the teen’s driving habits. The Teen Driver system can also limit certain vehicle features to enhance safety.
