2022 Chevrolet Malibu Review
Overview
Technology
Your Chevrolet Malibu is loaded with technology. Coffee shop Wi-Fi is history with the Malibu’s available Abuilt-in 4G Wi-Fi hotspot. Connect up to seven devices and surf away. Chevrolet Infotainment 32 brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility to a color touchscreen display. Access your Malibu even when you’re not in it. With the myChevrolet Mobile App you can control door locks and more from almost anywhere. Available Sirius XM Satellite Radio6 brings you more than a hundred and fifty channels of music news sports and more. The Chevrolet Malibu. Stay connected.
Safety
With its available advanced safety and driver assistance features your Chevrolet Malibu can help you avoid trouble. Something catches your attention and you don’t see the car slowing down in front of you. But available Forward Collision Alert does and available Automatic Emergency Braking can even apply the brakes if you don’t. We’ve all accidentally drifted out of our lane now and then. Available Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning gives audible and visual alerts and can even help steer you back where you belong. The Chevrolet Malibu. Mid-size sedan. Big-size safety.
Performance
With two powertrains available the Chevrolet Malibu gives you a choice of efficient and responsive driving experiences. Fuel-saving technologies like Variable Valve Timing and Automatic Stop-Start give the turbocharged 1.5-liter ECOTEC engine an impressive EPA-estimated 36 miles per gallon on the highway . Or if you want more power there’s the 250-horse two-liter ECOTEC engine and its nine-speed automatic transmission. And with a MacPherson Strut suspension up front and a tuned 4-link suspension in back your Malibu isn’t just comfortable—it’s fun to drive. The Chevrolet Malibu. Built just for you.
