2021 CHEVROLET MALIBU MODEL REVIEW - EVANSVILLE, IN

What's New For the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu?

The ninth-generation Chevy Malibu strolls in with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for the first time in its relatively long lifespan. This drastically improves the appeal of the brand to a younger, more connected audience. Chevy also generously gives the new Malibu a "Sport" edition that includes a few surprises along the way for the sportier among you. It's a new Malibu for a new year.

What Features Are Available for 2021?

Five trim levels are available for Malibu's 2021 model: L, LS, RS, LT, and Premier. The base level is the always charming L trim. Its nicely decorated interior includes:

   
• A 3-spoke wheel.
   
• Premium cloth trim.
   
• Front bucket seating.
   
• Power programmable door locks (not bad for a base!).

The LT is just before your fully-loaded Malibu and receives an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat and front and rear carpeted floor mats. If you want the height of luxury, opt for the Premier. It nets you perforated leather-appointed seats with heating front and rear configurations, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and ambient lighting for your instrument panel. In addition, you'll be able to make full use of your new standard CarPlay and Android Auto. The 8-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system boasts full HD navigation and hands-free voice recognition features.

2021 Malibu Powertrain Options

A 2.0L turbocharged 250 horsepower engine powers the strongest Malibu. Its 260 lb-ft of torque is a kickstart ahead of the previous generation. This fully loaded Malibu powertrain comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Your base model grabs a 1.5L turbocharged engine with 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. It's much more robust than other base models in this class and price range.

Technologies To Keep You Safe

Chevrolet gives its highest trims of Malibu OnStar and Chevrolet connected services. These high trims also receive Stabilitrak, HD rear vision camera, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Automatic headlamp control will also prove a safety-boosting feature. In total, there are ten airbags on the Malibu, a long stride away from most sedans in this class. You get front knee airbags for both the driver and passenger and a passenger sensing system to boot.
