Summary
With 2,049 currently listed for sale and an average price of $13,745, 27.2% of 2020 Chevrolet Malibus for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu 4.58 / 5 stars.

Why it stands out
The 2020 Chevrolet Malibu stands out as a roomy, value-oriented midsize sedan with a polished look and a comfortable ride. By this point in the Malibu’s life cycle, Chevrolet had already given it sleek styling, a larger and more open-feeling back seat, and a more sophisticated overall character than the car it replaced. It also had a reputation for being a good deal, and the model’s later years were described as having much better reliability records than the early ones.
For 2020, the Malibu’s appeal centered on its efficient standard powertrain and broad everyday usability. The standard 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder made 163 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, used a six-speed automatic transmission, and returned 30 mpg combined. The Malibu Hybrid was still part of the lineup for this model year, pairing a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with a 76-kW electric motor for a total output of 182 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, along with an EPA combined fuel economy rating of 46 miles per gallon. Chevrolet had also made the Malibu’s infotainment and safety equipment more usable over time, with a standard eight-inch touchscreen by 2019 and active safety features that became standard in 2022, though those later changes do not apply to 2020 models.
At the same time, the 2020 Malibu was not the most exciting choice in the class. Reviewers found the standard engine’s acceleration lackluster, and the car was described as less refined than some rivals. Still, for buyers who wanted a comfortable, practical sedan with strong fuel economy and a generally good value proposition, the 2020 Malibu offered a lot of everyday appeal.

Reviewed a 2020 Chevrolet Malibu on Mar 1, 2026
I purchased a 2020 Chevy Malibu on February 14th, 2024. Since then, the vehicle has been plagued with issues. The check engine light is constantly on, and when a sensor fails, multiple problems seem to arise. For example, the first time the check engine light appeared, the dash dinged and displayed messages like “steering assist reduced, drive with care,” while all the gauges would jump around. It also showed “low fuel,” despite the tank being full, and the message “service ESC.” The root cause was the throttle body, which needed to be replaced. Subsequently, similar issues occurred, and different parts had to be replaced, including the mass airflow sensor, the accelerator pedal, the brake vacuum pump sensor, the brake vacuum pump, and components related to the charging system. At one point, there was a ground issue. Then there is the constant “shift into park” after parking the car. Overall, this car has been nothing but trouble, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

This model is roomy, comfortable, but it has pick-up! Rides like a dream, good interior features. Only drawback : it really needs a better radio/stereo.

Is the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu a good car?
Yes — the 4.58/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Drivers consistently praise the smooth ride, attractive design, and good gas mileage, while many also call out the value for money and comfortable interior. If you want a roomy, value-oriented midsize sedan for everyday use, that combination fits the Malibu’s strengths well. With 27.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find a competitive price.
Is the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu reliable?
Owners rate it 4.58/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
User feedback also points to a dependable ownership experience, with drivers highlighting the car’s smooth, trouble-free feel and the kind of comfort that makes it easy to count on day after day. The broader ownership picture suggests this is a model you can reasonably expect to live with well over time, though used buyers should still focus on maintenance history and overall condition before committing.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Chevrolet Malibu?
At 57.5% 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 separate clean examples from cars with prior damage. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on overall condition, repair quality, and signs of inconsistent wear so you can avoid paying too much for a car that needs extra work.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Chevrolet Malibu?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile opportunities.
- Deal availability: 27.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,043 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.61% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 57.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $13,582, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu's resale value?
The current average of $13,732 sits slightly below last year's $15,026.
That softer pricing suggests the Malibu has become more accessible for buyers, but it also means a future seller may face a more competitive market. If you buy well now, you may have less room for appreciation later, so condition and purchase price matter a lot. A clean, well-kept example should still be easier to move than one with accident history or visible wear.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.58/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2020 Chevrolet Malibu or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 27.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 57.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.61% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.58/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2020 Malibu makes the most sense if you want a comfortable, value-focused midsize sedan and you can find a clean example at a strong price. If you are especially price-sensitive, nearby model years may also be worth comparing, but the 2020 stands out as a sensible choice when you prioritize owner satisfaction, everyday usability, and current market softness.
