CarGurus Analysis: 2020 Chevrolet Malibu
Summary
With 2,029 currently listed for sale and an average price of $13,817.00, 27.7% 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 an easygoing character. By this point in the Malibu’s life cycle, Chevrolet had already given it the sleeker styling and larger, more open-feeling back seat that came with the 2016 redesign, and the car’s appeal remained rooted in that combination of space and everyday usability. It was also one of the more affordable ways to get a large family sedan, especially compared with some rivals, while still offering a cabin that feels comfortable and straightforward to live with.
For 2020, the Malibu’s powertrain lineup was trimmed down, with Chevrolet having axed the slow-selling hybrid in 2020 and the 2.0-liter turbo in 2022. That left the 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as the standard engine, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and rated at 30 mpg combined. The Malibu Hybrid had been a standout for efficiency when it was available, delivering 46 mpg combined, but it was no longer part of the lineup by this model year. Buyers also got a decent array of available safety and driver-assistance features, though none were standard on the 2016 Malibu when this generation launched.
The 2020 Malibu’s strengths are clear: it is a good value, it has a roomy cabin, and it offers intuitive infotainment. It also benefits from the Malibu’s strongest reliability record among front-wheel-drive versions, which helps make it a more appealing used buy than earlier generations. The tradeoff is that it still isn’t as refined as some competitors, and reviewers noted that the standard engine could feel lackluster in acceleration.

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.

Prices have softened 8.92% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 2,079 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for you to compare prices and condition.
If you find a listing below $13,582.14, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
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 also calling out the value for money and comfortable interior.
That lines up well with the Malibu’s role as a roomy, value-oriented midsize sedan that’s easy to live with day to day. If you want a practical family car with a comfortable cabin and straightforward usability, this model year fits that use case well.
With 27.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find one that fits your budget.
Is the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu reliable?
Owners rate it 4.58/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also points to a car that feels smooth and dependable in everyday use, with comfort and fuel economy showing up as recurring strengths. That kind of trouble-free, long-term ownership impression matters if you want a used sedan you can count on.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the car’s basic appeal and more about finding one that has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by prior use.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Chevrolet Malibu?
At 58.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and make sure the car’s accident and title history lines up with the seller’s description. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can check for uneven wear, repair quality, and any signs that the car’s condition doesn’t match the asking price.
Because this model is valued for comfort and everyday usability, focus your inspection on the cabin, ride quality, and how well the car has been maintained overall.
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 without feeling rushed.
- Deal availability: 27.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,079 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.92% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 58.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $13,582.14, 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 $13,790 sits slightly below last year's $15,140.
That softer pricing can help you buy more affordably now, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited unless the market tightens. If you plan to sell later, condition and mileage will matter a lot, especially because buyers in this segment tend to compare value closely.
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:
- 27.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 58.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.92% 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 roomy, value-focused midsize sedan and you can verify that the specific car has a clean history and solid maintenance. If you’re especially price-sensitive, this year’s softer pricing and decent deal availability make it worth a close look; if you want the safest path, focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the cheapest listing.
