Is the Chevrolet Malibu a good car?
Yes — the Chevrolet Malibu is a solid used-car choice if you want a roomy, comfortable midsize sedan with easy-to-use tech and strong everyday value. The all-generations owner rating is 4.33/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners repeatedly praise the Malibu for its smooth ride, comfortable cabin, and fuel economy. The model also gets consistent credit for user-friendly technology, spacious interiors, and a relaxed, easygoing character that works well for daily driving.
Expert reviews rate the 2017 and 2016 models among the highest across all years.
The main tradeoffs show up in the form of lackluster acceleration from the standard engine, plus some notes about refinement and build quality on certain years. Even so, the Malibu’s comfort, space, and value keep it appealing for shoppers who want a practical sedan.
29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Chevrolet Malibu models reliable?
Owners and experts consistently point to the Malibu’s comfort, smooth ride, and easy-to-live-with nature, especially in later model years. The strongest versions also pair that with user-friendly tech and a generally well-rounded ownership experience.
- Owners rate the Chevrolet Malibu between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, the later front-drive Malibus are the safer long-term bet, while earlier years deserve a closer look at history and condition.
What should I look for when buying a used Chevrolet Malibu?
Across all model years, at 73.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 85% |
| 2024 | 83.5% |
| 2023 | 81% |
| 2022 | 74.3% |
| 2021 | 63.5% |
| 2020 | 58.5% |
| 2019 | 57% |
| 2018 | 55.3% |
| 2017 | 53.2% |
| 2016 | 52.1% |
| 2015 | 51.8% |
| 2014 | 53.4% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2023 models.
Key things to evaluate:
- Fuel efficiency: You can get 46 mpg in combined driving in the Malibu Hybrid, while the standard turbocharged 1.5-liter engine is rated at 30 mpg combined.
Which Chevrolet Malibu trim should I buy?
The 2017 Chevrolet Malibu offers these trims:
- Malibu L: The entry point, with the Malibu’s core comfort and everyday usability.
- LS: A step up from the base model for shoppers who want a better-equipped value choice.
- LT: The best-value trim for many buyers, since it sits in the middle of the lineup and balances equipment with price.
- Hybrid: The efficiency-focused choice, pairing Malibu practicality with standout fuel economy.
- Premier: The top trim, adding the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and the most upscale equipment, plus the strongest performance in the lineup.
What Chevrolet Malibu do most buyers choose?
The Chevrolet Malibu years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 8,413 | 32.7% |
| 2023 | 7,602 | 32% |
| 2025 | 6,105 | 33.5% |

| 2021 | 2,597 | 27.9% |
| 2019 | 2,189 | 26.7% |
These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, trim, and price. They also sit close to the Malibu’s final-generation sweet spot, where you get newer features and broad availability.

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.

The car has more features than you think for the price. Heated seats, android and apple auto, a turbo. It's not the pinical of luxury, but it definitely gives you enough if you are on a budget.

Why it stands out
The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu stands out as a roomy, value-oriented midsize sedan with a long-running reputation for being easy to live with. In this generation, Chevrolet gave the Malibu a sleeker shape and a larger, more open-feeling back seat, while also making the car more sophisticated than the one it replaced. It is also notable for offering a broad mix of powertrains and trims over the years, along with a useful set of technology and safety features that helped keep it competitive.
For 2023, the Malibu was more or less a carry-over from 2022. That means it retained the generation’s standard 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 163 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, and it continued to return 30 mpg combined. The car also kept its seven-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the available eight-inch screen remained part of the upper-trim setup. Chevrolet had already added Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity in 2021, and active safety features such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and forward collision warnings were made standard in 2022.
What makes the 2023 Malibu appealing is the combination of space, straightforward features, and relatively strong reliability for this generation. It is described as a good deal and a larger car than many rivals, and late-model examples may still be covered by the manufacturer’s three-year/36,000-mile warranty. The main tradeoff is that it is not as refined as some competitors, and reviewers found the standard engine’s acceleration lackluster. Even so, for buyers who want a practical sedan with a comfortable cabin and a solid ownership record, the 2023 Malibu has a clear, uncomplicated appeal.
