Basics About the 2022 Chevy Malibu

The Chevy Malibu was manufactured by Chevrolet from 1964 to 1983 as a mid-size sedan offering rear-wheel drive and as a trim of the Chevelle. In 1997, Chevrolet began manufacturing a new model of the Malibu with front-wheel drive. The Malibu is named after the coastal city in California.

Currently, Chevrolet offers four different trims for the Malibu. The L trim was eliminated from the lineup this year. Drivers may choose from the LS, LT, RS, and Premier models. While the LS, LT, and Premier offer a standard chrome-colored grille, the RS comes with a black grille. A Midnight edition is available for those who want a more stylish appearance and like the black badges and emblems.

Economical Engine/Transmission

Chevrolet offers two different engines this year, both providing plenty of performance and contributing to a smooth and quiet ride. The LS, LT, and RS editions come with a 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine combined with a continuously variable transmission and 163-horsepower. For the Premier edition, it offers a powerful 250-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission.  

Stylish Exterior  

The Malibu offers seven different colors that will please any driver’s taste. With colors like Cherry Red Tintcoat, Mosaic Black Metallic, and Northsky Blue Metallic, the Chevy Malibu gets noticed. Features like dual exhaust on higher-end models, chrome door handles, and stylish aluminum wheels allow the Malibu to make a statement.

Well-Designed Interior  

Drivers love the comfort of the Malibu with its roomy cab and comfortable interior. Drivers may choose from cloth or leather seats in four different interior color schemes. Plenty of leg room in both the front and back seats, as well as a driver seat suited to fit any size driver, means five passengers sit comfortably in this sedan. A big trunk and ample carry-on capacity allow passengers to carry plenty of luggage.

Easy-to-Use Technology  

The Malibu offers a simple and easy-to-use infotainment system that includes features like an 8-inch touchscreen, Apply CarPlay or Android Auto, and the Chevy MyWay app. These features make it easy for drivers and passengers to stay connected whether taking hands-free phone calls, getting message alerts, or listening to favorite playlists.
