When you think of Malibu, what is the first image that pops into your mind? Is it the beautiful Pacific Ocean beaches of Southern California, with cute and luxurious cottages dotting the shoreline? It is exclusive, yet the warmth and beauty are within reach. That is why the 2020 Chevy Malibu may be the most perfectly named vehicle on the road today, as it epitomizes this sense of affordable luxury and comfortable convenience. Chevy has been building these gorgeous midsize sedans since 1964 and, after a short break in the 1980s, began introducing a new Malibu for a new generation of drivers. The sedan is on its ninth generation, and the future is bright for the 2020 Chevy Malibu.
The Malibu just won the J.D. Power highest ranking for midsize cars in initial quality, for a number of reasons. In addition to its clean lines and spacious interior, it provides quality features like a top-class Chevy Infotainment 3 system, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless charging are available as well. You can turn your Malibu into a mobile music lounge with the touch of a button for you and your four passengers to enjoy.
You would think a car as luxurious and loaded as the 2020 Chevy Malibu would be expensive. However, if this is what you thought, then you are in for a very pleasant surprise. The 2020 Chevy Malibu has a base MSRP of $22,095, well below comparable midsize sedans from its competitors. In addition, Chevrolet offers the Malibu in five different trims: L, LS, RS, LT, and top-of-the-line Premier. The price of the Malibu Premier is only $33,320, giving the 2020 Chevy Malibu a price point that defines affordable luxury, something that is desirable and aspirational but within reach.

The 2020 Chevy Malibu features two engines. The standard engine for the Malibu L, LS, RS, and LT is a turbocharged 1.5-liter Ecotec direct injection 4-cylinder engine. This is both a powerful and efficient gas engine. It produces up to 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, giving you the speed you want on the open road, but not more than needed for the vehicle. This engine also has some unique features that help with fuel efficiency. It has a continuous variable transmission (CVT) in place of a standard gear speed transmission. This utilizes smart technology to continuously adjust the transmission to best fit the circumstances of the road. It also has automatic start-stop technology. The Malibu will automatically turn the engine off when you step on the brake at a light or if you are in stop-and-go traffic. As soon as you release the brake and step on the gas, the Malibu will automatically re-start the engine. Not only does this reduce the car’s emissions, but it also saves you on gas.
The second engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter Ecotec dual overhead cam 4-cylinder engine, which is standard on the Malibu Premier. It features both direct injection and variable valve timing to improve engine performance. This engine really has some power, a full 250 horsepower to be exact, as well as 260 lb-ft of torque. It also features a 9-speed automatic transmission to give you better command of the road.
The 2020 Chevy Malibu has some incredible fuel economy, primarily because of the utilization of such technologies as start-stop, CVT, direct injection, and variable valve timing. A Malibu with the 1.5-liter engine is rated to provide up to 29 miles per gallon in city driving, 36 miles per gallon on the highway, and 32 miles per gallon combined. This engine is so efficient that you can drive up to 560 miles between fill-ups, depending on the type of driving. While those numbers decline with the more powerful 2.0-liter engine, the drop off is not that significant. Malibu Premier drivers with this engine should get a respectable 22 miles per gallon in city driving, 32 miles per gallon in highway driving, and 26 miles per gallon combined. Either way, the 2020 Chevy Malibu will give you exceptional fuel efficiency in a car of this size.
Chevrolet has made safety a key objective with the 2020 Chevy Malibu. All models are equipped with 10 airbags, daytime running lights, OnStar & Chevrolet Connected Services, a rear vision camera, Stabilitrak electronic stability control system with traction control, a tire pressure monitoring system, and electronic grade braking. This will help you maintain a constant speed while driving downhill without having to ride your brake the entire way. It will improve your handling of your Malibu as well as cut down on wear-and-tear of your brakes.
There are also a number of excellent optional safety features that you should consider when purchasing your new Malibu. Forward collision alert helps you avoid potential front-end collisions by detecting when you are following the vehicle in front of you too closely. Lane change alert with side blind zone alert provides excellent assistance when changing lanes. It detects vehicles on the side that may be in your blind zone so that you can change lanes safely. If you use cruise control for long drives, then you should consider adaptive cruise control – advanced. This uses radar technology to automatically adapt the peed of your Malibu to maintain following distance between you and the cars in front you, so that you don’t have to constantly step on the brakes. Rear park assist detects objects behind you when backing into or out of spot, reducing the chance of a collision. Similarly, rear cross traffic alert will help you detect vehicles behind your Malibu when you pull out of a space. Front pedestrian braking will reduce the possibility of colliding with a pedestrian while driving your Malibu. When you are driving below 50 miles per hour, the system will alert you if a pedestrian is in front of it. Further, it can automatically apply the brakes to avoid or reduce the severity of a collision.
Other features include the Intellibeam headlamps, which use sensors to automatically turn on and off your high beams when driving at night. Finally, if you need a little help parallel parking, there are few things better than automatic parking assist. This will automatically steer your Malibu when you are trying to get into even the most difficult perpendicular and parallel parking spaces.
It is clear that the 2020 Chevy Malibu gives you the safety features you need, and the option for additional ones you may want depending on your driving conditions.
