What's New for the 2025 Chevrolet Malibu?

No major changes were made to the 2025 Chevrolet Malibu.

What Are the 2025 Malibu Trims & Features?

The 2025 Chevrolet Malibu is offered in four well-equipped trim levels. Many drivers will like what the entry-level LS trim offers. Its modern Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system features a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Other attractive features include a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, a six-speaker audio system, an 8.0-inch driver information display, and remote start.

Equipped with 18-inch aluminum wheels and dual exhaust outlets, the Malibu RS has an even sportier look. You'll find an eight-way power driver's seat and a wrapped steering wheel inside.

The 1LT trim includes additional amenities, including heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and LED daytime running lights.

Atop the range sits the Malibu 2LT. Standard 19-inch alloy wheels give it an especially aggressive stance. When traveling on hot days, the 2LT trim's ventilated front seats will take comfort to the next stage. Navigation, LED headlights, and a Bose premium audio system are a few of the other niceties.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2025 Malibu Have?

All versions of the new Malibu come equipped with a 1.5-liter, turbo four-cylinder engine. Direct injection helps it to develop a satisfying 160 horsepower. Chevy mates this engine to a continuously variable transmission to ensure optimum performance and efficiency. Every trim features a front-wheel drive setup. While the Malibu's smooth ride is not overlooked, drivers will also appreciate its sporty handling.

What Safety Features Does the 2025 Malibu Include?

The Malibu continues to rank among the class leaders in passenger safety. A total of 10 airbags surround the cabin for enhanced impact protection. Parents will especially appreciate Teen Driver technology, which allows them to set certain driving restrictions. Standard Chevy Safety Assist also equips this sedan with several advanced driver-assist technologies. While Automatic Emergency Braking can prevent a potential forward collision, the Following Distance Indicator helps ensure a safe gap between you and the next vehicle ahead. Every new Malibu also receives Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and High Beam Assist. Higher trim levels give you access to additional safety features, including Adaptive Cruise Control.
