How much does the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu cost?

Prices have softened 5.36% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 764 listings available, you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $7,551.19, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its excellent fuel economy, quiet ride, and comfort for family trips. The overview also points to a sedan that balances comfort, technology, and performance, with steering that feels composed at speed but easy in parking and slow-speed driving.

That combination makes it a strong fit if you want a midsize sedan that feels easy to live with and still has enough polish to stand out. With 26.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a car many drivers feel is a great value for the price, with praise for performance and features alongside the strong fuel economy and quiet ride. The expert review also describes the Malibu as well sorted and genuinely fun to drive, while the cost-effectiveness notes mention above-average quality and predicted reliability.

Chevrolet also included free factory-scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 24,000 miles, which helps reduce early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure prior maintenance and any warranty-related concerns have been handled before you commit.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Chevrolet Malibu?

At 52.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has any accident history or missing service records. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair quality, and whether the equipment on the car matches the trim level you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The entry-level LS comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity, OnStar, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, and cruise control. The 1LT adds the Chevrolet MyLink 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with satellite radio service and voice-recognition technology, heated mirrors, and floor mats. The 2LT adds dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, driver’s power lumbar adjustment, and 18-inch alloys. The 1LTZ brings leather upholstery, unique alloy wheels, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and heated 8-way power-adjustable front seats, while the 2LTZ adds a power moonroof and the upgraded engine.
• Powertrain: The Malibu uses two distinct 4-cylinder powerplants and is strictly front-wheel drive. The base 2.5-liter engine makes 196 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 6-speed automatic. The turbocharged 2.0-liter makes 259 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, also with a 6-speed automatic, and it trades some efficiency for stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: The Malibu includes 10 standard airbags, and available safety equipment includes rear-side airbags, side blind-zone alert, a rear-view camera, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and forward-collision warning. Some of those features are not standard on every trim, so verify the exact equipment on the car you’re considering.
• Infotainment: The MyLink system uses a 7-inch touchscreen on the 1LT and above, and it includes text-message reading and response, iPhone-specific Eyes Free mode, Pandora and Stitcher integration, and voice control. The setup is easy to use, and the screen is designed to stay readable in daylight.
• Fuel efficiency: The base 2.5-liter engine is rated at 25 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. The turbocharged 2.0-liter returns 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. The standard engine also uses start/stop technology to help efficiency.

Which 2014 Chevrolet Malibu trim should I buy?

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu is offered in 6 trim levels: LS, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, 1LTZ, 2LTZ.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the value starting point if you want the Malibu’s core strengths without paying for extras. You get Bluetooth, OnStar, cruise control, and a height-adjustable driver’s seat, but you miss out on the more appealing infotainment and comfort upgrades found higher up.
• 1LT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the 7-inch MyLink touchscreen, satellite radio, voice recognition, heated mirrors, and a more polished cabin feel without jumping too far in price.
• 2LT: Choose this if you want a more comfortable daily driver, since it adds dual-zone climate control, remote start, lumbar adjustment, and larger wheels.
• 3LT: This trim is for you if you want the stronger standard engine in the 2LT-style package, making it the better pick if performance matters more than pure value.
• 1LTZ: This is the premium comfort-focused choice, with leather upholstery, heated power front seats, and an auto-dimming mirror.
• 2LTZ: Pick this if you want the most upscale Malibu experience, including the upgraded engine and a power moonroof.

The safety content highlights a strong standard safety foundation, with additional driver-assistance features available on higher trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Chevrolet Malibu?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile deals.

• Deal availability: 26.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 764 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.36% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 52.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $7,551.19, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu's resale value?

The current average of $7,535 sits slightly below last year's $7,961.

That softer pricing suggests the Malibu has already absorbed some of its near-term depreciation, which can help if you buy now and plan to sell later. It also means future resale upside may be steadier than dramatic, especially if you choose a well-kept example with desirable equipment and clean history.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu safe?

The 2014 Malibu earned an overall five-star rating from NHTSA and a best-possible Good ranking in all IIHS tests.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Chevrolet equipped the Malibu with 10 standard airbags, and available safety features include rear-side airbags, side blind-zone alert, a rear-view camera, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and forward-collision warning. The expert review also notes that the forward-collision warning system uses dash-top red lights and audible beeps to alert you without being overly intrusive.

Should I buy a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 26.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 52.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.36% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 stands out for its balance of comfort, technology, and performance, plus strong safety credentials and a well-sorted driving feel.

The bottom line: The 2014 Malibu is the better choice if you want a well-rounded midsize sedan with strong owner satisfaction, solid safety, and a price that has already moved lower. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still shop this year confidently, but make sure you verify history and condition carefully before buying.
