The Chevrolet Malibu is an enduring classic among its peers since it was introduced more than 50 years ago. The quintessential midsize sedan boldly underwent restyling and reengineering for the 2017 model year, giving buyers more efficiency, connectivity, and advanced safety features than ever.

The Malibu reaches an exceptional level of fuel efficiency with a hybrid powertrain that uses technology from the Chevrolet Volt. The hybrid returns an estimated 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway -- and 47 mpg combined.

An Ecotec 1.5-liter turbocharged engine serves as the standard engine in the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu, offering an estimated 37 mpg on the highway. It is part of a global family of small-displacement gas engines designed with greater power density to deliver confident performance with excellent efficiency.

Built longer and lighter over its predecessor, Malibu offers more interior space. Its wheelbase is stretched close to 4 inches, and it is nearly 300 pounds lighter than the previous model.

Malibu's 7-inch MyLink infotainment system gives owners a smart and simple way to access Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The 8-inch version of MyLink is compatible with Apple CarPlay. With it, many features can be controlled via voice commands through a button on the steering wheel, helping drivers spend more time with eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.

The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu is offered in L, LS, LT, Hybrid and Premier models. Premium design cues include LED daytime running lamps on LT, Hybrid and Premier; LED taillamps on Premier.
