How much does the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu cost?

Prices have softened 3.30% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 726 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.2/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners commonly praise its excellent fuel economy, quiet ride, and comfort for family trips, and they also describe it as a great value for the price. That lines up with the Malibu’s use-case as a comfortable, efficient four-door that balances everyday drivability with a well-equipped cabin.

There are 24.7% good or great deals in the market, so you still have room to shop carefully.

Is the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu reliable?

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

Owners also describe it as dependable, with praise centered on its excellent fuel economy, quiet ride, and comfort for family trips. The expert evaluation adds that the Malibu comes with 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 the car’s condition and maintenance history match its strong reputation, especially given the concerns some owners have raised about warranty issues.

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

At 50% 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 you’re comparing cars with similar prices. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the equipment on the car matches the trim level you expected. Because some owners mention missing features and warranty concerns, it’s smart to verify that the car’s options and service history are clean before you commit.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The entry-level LS includes 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity, OnStar, a height-adjustable driver’s seat and cruise control, while 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, while the 1LTZ brings leather upholstery, unique alloy wheels, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and heated 8-way power-adjustable front seats. The 2LTZ adds a power moonroof and the upgraded engine. The best-value trim is the 1LT if you want the touchscreen tech without moving too far up the price ladder.
• Powertrain: The standard setup uses a direct-injected 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 196 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic, and it’s tuned for strong fuel economy and easy everyday driving. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is also offered on higher trims, with 259 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, and it delivers stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: The Malibu includes 10 standard airbags, and available safety tech includes rear-side airbags, side blind-zone alert, a rear-view camera, rear cross-traffic alert and a lane-departure warning system. The tested 2LTZ also included forward-collision warning.
• Infotainment: The MyLink system uses a 7-inch touchscreen and includes text-message reading and response, Siri Eyes Free functionality, and apps such as Pandora and Stitcher. OnStar Directions & Connections is also mentioned as complimentary for the first 6 months of ownership.
• Fuel efficiency: The standard 2.5-liter engine is rated at 25 mpg around town and 36 mpg on the highway. The turbocharged 2.0-liter is rated at 21 mpg around town and 30 mpg on the highway.

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 simplest way into the Malibu, and it gives you the core sedan experience with 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth, OnStar, cruise control and a height-adjustable driver’s seat. It makes sense if you want the lowest entry price and don’t need the extra convenience and tech features found higher up.
• 1LT: This trim adds the Chevrolet MyLink 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with satellite radio service and voice-recognition technology, plus heated mirrors and floor mats. It’s the best-value choice if you want a more modern cabin without jumping too far in price.
• 2LT: This one adds dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, driver’s power lumbar adjustment and 18-inch alloys. It’s the right pick if you want a more upscale daily driver and value comfort features.
• 3LT: This trim is essentially a 2LT with a more powerful standard engine, so it’s the choice if you want the stronger powertrain without moving all the way to the premium trims.
• 1LTZ: This is the premium-grade Malibu with leather upholstery, unique alloy wheels, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and heated 8-way power-adjustable front seats. It suits you if you want a more luxurious feel and are willing to pay for it.
• 2LTZ: This trim adds a power moonroof and the upgraded engine, making it the most fully equipped version in the lineup. It’s the one to target if you want the top-end Malibu experience.

The safety content highlights 10 standard airbags and available driver-assistance features such as side blind-zone alert, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning and forward-collision warning.

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 with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 24.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 726 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.30% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 50% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $7,567, 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 $7,788 sits slightly below last year's $8,053.

That softer pricing suggests the Malibu has already moved through some of its depreciation curve, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. The current market also shows a meaningful spread between the low and high end of the year-round range, so condition and trim will matter when you eventually resell. If you keep the car clean, well maintained, and documented, you’ll be in a better position to protect value.

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 an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Chevy equips the Malibu with 10 standard airbags, and available safety tech includes rear-side airbags, side blind-zone alert, a rear-view camera, rear cross-traffic alert and lane-departure warning. The tested 2LTZ also included forward-collision warning, which adds another layer of protection in everyday driving.

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:

• 24.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 50% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.30% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 stands out for its efficient standard four-cylinder, comfortable ride, and strong safety results.

The bottom line: The 2014 Malibu makes the most sense if you want a used midsize sedan with strong owner satisfaction, good safety, and a lower average price than many rivals. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2014 is the better value play; if you want a newer-feeling cabin and more advanced tech, a later Malibu may be worth a look.

How does the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu compare to the 2014 Toyota Camry?

Our experts score the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu 7.2/10 and the 2014 Toyota Camry 7.5/10.

The Malibu is the cheaper used buy by a wide margin, and it also offers stronger horsepower from its base engine. The Camry has the edge in overall expert score and a larger share of good and great deals, while the Malibu stands out for its lower average used price and stronger highway fuel economy. If you want the better value on paper, the Malibu is compelling; if you want the slightly stronger all-around benchmark, the Camry still has the edge.
