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 features and strong value. The all-generations owner rating is 4.3/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the Malibu for its smooth ride, comfort, and good fuel economy. They also frequently highlight its spacious cabin, user-friendly tech, and stylish design.
Expert reviews rate the 2017 and 2016 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs in the newer expert-reviewed years are a standard engine that feels unhurried, a cabin that can seem less refined than some rivals, and acceleration that reviewers describe as modest in everyday driving.
32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Chevrolet Malibu models reliable?

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is most manageable in the later model years, while older examples deserve a closer look at history and condition.

Reviewed a 2016 Chevrolet 1LT FWD on Mar 22, 2025
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.

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 2019 Chevrolet Malibu stands out as a midsize sedan that blends value, space, and a broad spread of features. By this model year, it had revised front and rear fascias, and it also introduced the sporty Malibu RS trim. Chevrolet’s Infotainment 3 system debuted on a standard eight-inch touchscreen, while the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine gained a continuously variable transmission. Those updates helped keep the Malibu feeling current, especially for shoppers who want a roomy family car without moving up to a larger or pricier vehicle.
It also offers a useful mix of equipment and efficiency. The standard engine returned 30 mpg combined, and the available hybrid delivered 46 mpg combined, though Chevrolet had already axed the slow-selling hybrid in 2020. The Malibu’s cabin is described as larger and more open-feeling in this generation, and the car’s infotainment setup is a strength, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality on the seven-inch system and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto added in 2021. Safety equipment was available in a wide range of forms, including lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and front and rear park assist.
There are tradeoffs, though. Reviewers found the standard 1.5-liter turbo combination produced lackluster acceleration, and the 2.0-liter turbo was reserved for the top-tier Premier trim. The Malibu also isn’t as refined as some rivals, and its interior pricing on higher trims could feel out of step with the car’s features. Even so, the 2019 Malibu remains appealing for buyers who want a practical sedan with strong fuel economy, useful technology, and a good amount of space.
