Why it stands out
The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu has made significant strides in the midsize sedan market, showcasing a modern redesign that enhances both its aesthetics and performance. Its sleek exterior and stretched wheelbase improve comfort, particularly in the rear seat, which has traditionally been a compromise for this model. A standout element is its engine options—offering a choice between a fuel-efficient 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged variant that delivers an exciting driving experience with 250 horsepower. Combined with a well-tuned suspension, the Malibu presents a smooth, comfortable ride while also boasting impressive fuel economy figures of up to 27 mpg city and 37 mpg highway.
The interior benefits from upgraded materials and technology, ensuring a contemporary cabin feel with user-friendly features such as an 8-inch touchscreen in the Premier trim and available safety systems that include blind-spot monitoring and automatic emergency braking. While there are concerns regarding its build quality and some performance hesitations, overall, the Malibu is viewed as a strong contender in its class. Its blend of comfort, efficiency, and advanced features makes it an appealing choice for buyers looking for a reliable sedan.

I absolutely enjoy every aspect of this car. It came exactly like I wanted it to and had features that I was not expecting. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase.

Malibu LT w2LT is worthwhile purchase since vehicle comes with Driver Confidence Package, 2.0L T engine which performs very well for pickup and can easily merge lanes on a highway. Has a smooth ride, easy to drive. If you can find it with leather seats even better. Vehicle has Apple Car Play/Android Auto.

I like the new dram that Chevy did with the 2016 Chevy Malibu’s and going forward. I test drove one. The only negative is it doesn’t have good acceleration
