What's New For the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu?

The 2020 Malibu has an all-new look and mystique in 2020. As one of J.D. Power's pet favorites for the Initial Quality award, it's a midsize sedan that has over ten advanced airbags, a stunning exterior aura, and an interior you can feel at home in. The new Malibu is more powerful and stylish than ever before. LED lighting in the form of daytime running lamps and LED taillamps to make for a brighter outlook than on any other Malibu. Trims are abundant, too. Here's a rundown of all the features you'll find on the many trims of the Malibu.

What are the Chevy Malibu Trims & Features?

The base model is your L trim. MacPherson independent front suspension and 4-link rear suspension keeps your power harnessed and cradling your driving dynamics like a steady captain's hand. The gentle, quiet cabin drive of the LS brings you acoustic-laminated glass and standard teen driver technology. That makes the Malibu a perfect "first car" for a lucky teen. Your RS is where the mid-tier begins, giving you black Chevrolet bowties and RS badging for a more premium look. The LT's heated cloth seats and LED daytime running lamps underlines more luxury. Finally, your highest trim is the Premier, a trim that gets a 2.0L turbocharged engine for enhanced horsepower, 19-inch aluminum wheels for a more full-bodied look, and chrome door handles that shine when they need to. It's a rare combination of features for a midsize car in this price range. You won't find a better value on the market today.

Raw Power and Stellar Performance

Two engines are available for the 2020 Malibu. The base engine is a 1.5L ECOTEC® engine that nets you 560 highway miles on a single tank of gas. It's 160 horsepower is enough to satisfy more than your fair share of a midsize car owner, and some folks will buy it solely for the fuel efficiency. If it's speed and acceleration you crave, though, Chevy makes the Malibu's 2.0L turbocharged engine ready for service. It's a 250 horsepower pig out of power. Your first engine gets a Continuously variable-speed automatic transmission, while your turbocharged option gets a 9-speed shiftable automatic.

Packed with Safety Features

Chevy has never slacked on safety features, and they weren't going to start that habit on the Malibu. Along with the excellent Teen Driver system, adults and children are in good hands, too. Among the many available safety features you'll find are Forward Collision Alert. When you get too close to a vehicle in front of you, an alarm will ring out, warning you that a collision is possible. The warning will avert many disasters. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is perfect for stop and go city driving. Using radar tech, your Malibu can set a distance behind a vehicle in front of you and automatically brake to maintain that distance. Say goodbye to hectic, nervous stop and go driving and hello to a car smart enough to keep you safe.
