Redefining Style & Performance
The 2024 Chevrolet Malibu continues to hold its ground in the competitive mid-size sedan segment, offering a blend of style and comfort. Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission, delivers sufficient power for city driving. The Malibu provides a comfortable ride and competent handling.
New for 2024
Chevy didn't make any large updates to the 2024 model year Malibu. A tire inflation kit is now a standard add-on and Lakeshore Blue Metallic is now available as an exterior color.
Engine, Performance, & Fuel Economy
The 2024 Chevrolet Malibu offers a single, but capable powertrain option for drivers seeking a blend of fuel efficiency and performance. Under the hood, we find a trusty 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine equipped with a turbocharger, delivering a respectable 160 horsepower. This potent engine sends its power exclusively to the front wheels through a smooth-shifting continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). This translates to a satisfyingly brisk driving experience, making the Malibu a capable daily driver that can handle the occasional thrill-seeking moment.
So, whether you prioritize fuel economy for your daily commute or desire a hint of excitement behind the wheel, the 2024 Malibu's single powertrain offers a compelling blend of both. Its turbocharged engine delivers enough punch for most driving situations, while the CVT keeps fuel consumption in check, making it a well-rounded choice for the modern driver. The 2024 Malibu is estimated to clock in at 30 mpg for combined city/highway driving.
Interior Comfort & Cargo Space
While not the most luxurious or hushed in its class, the 2024 Malibu's interior prioritizes comfort and user-friendliness. The cabin offers competitive passenger space and available features, though outward visibility falls short of some rivals.
Despite its lack of visual flair, the Malibu's symmetrical dashboard and open center console create a spacious feel. The front seats boast wide bases and supportive side bolsters, although their narrow back cushions might not suit everyone. Cargo space isn't class-leading, but the Malibu's trunk provides ample capacity for luggage and everyday needs. Additionally, the interior offers a generous amount of storage compartments, ensuring you'll have plenty of places to stash your belongings.
Overall, the 2024 Malibu's interior delivers a comfortable and functional experience with practical space for passengers and cargo.

Chevrolet equips every 2024 Malibu with a modern touchscreen infotainment system, packed with desirable features designed to keep you connected and informed on the road. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, seamlessly integrating your smartphone's functionality into the car's interface. Additionally, a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot ensures you're always connected, allowing passengers to stay entertained and productive on the go.
