How much does the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu cost?

Prices have softened 6.97% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,193 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. The 2019 Malibu stands out as a midsize sedan that blends value, space, and a fairly modern feature set, with revised styling, the Malibu RS trim, and the Infotainment 3 system on a standard eight-inch touchscreen. It also offers a roomy back seat and a cabin that is easy to live with, which makes it a practical fit if you want a comfortable family sedan without moving up to a pricier nameplate.

At the same time, it is not the most refined choice in its class, and the standard 1.5-liter turbo was described as producing lackluster acceleration. Even so, the combination of space, features, and value can make it appealing if those priorities matter most to you. 28.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.

Is the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu reliable?

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

This Malibu generation has a reputation for being more reliable than earlier front-drive Malibus, and the 2019 model benefits from the broader improvements that helped the car feel more current and easier to live with. Its straightforward cabin and updated infotainment setup also support everyday usability, which matters when you plan to keep a used car for a while.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific car you choose has been maintained well and has a clean history, since condition can matter more than the model’s general reputation.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Chevrolet Malibu?

At 55.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report so you can confirm accident records, title status, and ownership patterns before you commit. After that, prioritize a thorough inspection of the body, paint, alignment, and any signs of uneven wear that could point to past damage or poor repairs. Focus on overall condition and maintenance evidence, especially if you are comparing multiple listings at similar prices.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Chevrolet Malibu?

This looks like a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 28.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,193 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.97% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 55.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $12,710, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu's resale value?

The current average of $12,727 sits slightly below last year's $13,681.

That price movement suggests the Malibu has softened enough to give you a better entry point today, but it also means future resale gains may be limited if the broader market stays soft. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you can help protect value, but you should still expect a mainstream sedan’s resale curve rather than a standout premium-car return.

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

Should I buy a 2019 Chevrolet Malibu or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 28.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 55.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.97% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line:

The 2019 Malibu makes the most sense if you want a roomy, value-focused midsize sedan with a modern-feeling interior and you are comfortable shopping carefully for condition and history. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby model years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the newest badge alone.
