As Chevy’s last remaining sedan model, the Malibu carries the torch where four-door practicality meets sporty style. Now entering the last year of its ninth generation, the 2024 Malibu doubles down on what drivers love while making thoughtful updates. We’re talking about a slick new blue exterior paint option, wireless smartphone connectivity across all trims, and a few equipment tweaks.
Who should hop aboard the Malibu wave this model year? Those seeking an affordable, midsize sedan overflowing with the latest tech and safety innovations. Or families needing space for kids and cargo will feel right at home thanks to ample legroom and a massive trunk.
Lucky for you, we’ve got the 2024 Chevy Malibu stocked at Marshall Chevrolet. Before stopping by, check out our online Research Hub for tips on getting the best deal. Now, let’s dive deeper into what makes the 2024 Malibu shine.
2024 Chevrolet Malibu Colors
We snuck in a peek at the new-for-2024 Lakeshore Blue Metallic hue earlier. It’s a rich navy bursting with depth and dimension. Parked in the sunlight, color dances across its surface like light dancing on water.
Customizing your ride’s look through attention-grabbing colors never gets old. The 2024 Chevrolet Malibu lets you choose from these tried-and-true palettes:
- Mineral Gray Metallic
- Summit White
- Mosaic Black Metallic
- Sterling Gray Metallic
- Radiant Red Tintcoat
About that last one, the special Radiant Red Tintcoat exterior does come with an extra charge. Gotta pay a little extra for that show-stopping boldness!
Inside every 2024 Malibu, the interior is a uniform Jet Black. Clean and classic.
2024 Chevrolet Malibu Configurations
Under the hood, all 2024 Chevy Malibu trim levels pack the same 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine punch. Yet, buying decisions involve much more than what’s driving the wheels. With special editions and customizable packages, your own perfect Malibu awaits:
The midnight-themed Midnight Edition channels mystery and allure. 19-inch black-painted aluminum wheels match its jet-black exterior. Continuing the dark décor are blacked-out front/rear Chevy emblems, black grille, and black nameplate badges. Only available paired with the Mosaic Black Metallic exterior paint.
Prefer going the high-contrast route? The Sport Edition combines blacked-out embellishments with in-your-face red accents. Its 19-inch black wheels are a commanding presence on the road. The Chevy bowties, grille, and nameplate badges come in black.
Lastly, the Redline Edition imitates the previous Sport Edition but swaps a few accent colors for — you guessed it — red. It has the same blacked-out design details along with black outside mirrors. Only now the nameplate badge outline and bowtie emblems feature Chevrolet’s signature red color. This special edition leaves no questions about its performance cred.
2024 Chevrolet Malibu Safety Features
Safety takes priority for Chevrolet engineers, made evident by the Malibu’s suite of high-tech preventative features. Every 2024 Malibu has Chevy’s Standard Safety Assist package straight from the factory.
This includes Automatic Emergency Braking capable of detecting pedestrians and bringing the vehicle to a full stop when necessary. There’s also Forward Collision Alert monitoring traffic ahead, while Lane Departure Warning steers you back between the lines if drifting occurs. And Teen Driver mode lets parents set parameters for new drivers like speed warnings and stereo volume limits.
With all that in place, Chevrolet has your back on every journey.
Trim Levels for the 2024 Chevrolet Malibu
Okay, it’s time for the fun part — picking your perfect 2024 Chevrolet Malibu trim level! As we outline what each has to offer, equipment- and tech-wise, pay attention to standout features that catch your eye. Think about budget, too, as lower trims offer fantastic value, just minus certain bells and whistles.
You’ll find the following trims at your local Chevrolet dealership:
LS
The most budget-friendly way into Chevy Malibu ownership, the well-appointed LS may be an entry-level model but still brings plenty to the table. Motivation comes from a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder packing a solid 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Clever stop/start technology saves gas by automatically shutting off the engine when at rest.
A continuously variable transmission optimizes efficiency by constantly adjusting gear ratios to best-fit driving conditions. Chevy’s commitment to safety sees the LS outfitted with ten standard airbags plus a comprehensive suite of advanced driver aids.
Riding on 16-inch aluminum wheels, the Malibu LS exhibits classic sedan proportions with a sweeping profile. Body-color heated power side mirrors with integrated turn signals are there whenever you need to change lanes. The thoughtful IntelliBeam system automatically controls the headlights, raising and lowering beam strength when traffic approaches or exits the area.
An 8-inch color touchscreen headlines the dashboard, providing access to music, navigation, and hands-free calling through Chevy’s Infotainment 3 software. A 6-speaker audio system handles entertainment needs.
Further cabin conveniences include keyless entry with push-button ignition, power windows, and door locks. The 60/40 folding rear seat expands maximum cargo room when hauling oversized items.
Standout Features:
- Acoustic laminated windshield: Reduces outside noise infiltration for a quieter ride
- Automatic on/off headlamps: Lights turn on and off automatically depending on exterior lighting conditions
- Rear Park Assist: Sensors alert the driver of nearby objects when the vehicle is backing up
RS
Style seekers, the sport-inspired RS was made for you. Smoked black Chevy emblems, Malibu badges, and red RS markings exude mystery. The chrome grille, surrounded with black inserts, keeps things interesting up front, too.
For those all-important curb appeal points, 18-inch alloys get the job done along with dual exhaust tips. Inside, an 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment enables fine-tuned comfort. Red accent stitching on the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob echoes the performance vibe.
Fun touches like the body-color antenna cement the RS’s dramatic flair. Yet it retains past trims’ amenities like the rearview camera and premium cloth seating. The availability of built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi means passengers can stream, post, and browse on the go.
Standout Features:
- Remote Start: Starts engine remotely to heat or cool vehicle interior in advance
- Wrapped steering wheel: Leather-wrapped steering wheel provides exceptional grip and premium style
- 18-Inch Wheels: Larger 18-inch alloy wheels make a bold visual statement
LT
Moving into near-luxury territory, the well-equipped LT introduces several premium finishes plus available package options. Heated front seats beat back cold fronts while a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel does the same on frigid mornings.
New tech toys include a SiriusXM satellite radio for endless audio entertainment and a 120V power outlet to juice up devices. LED daytime running lamps amp up visibility.
Externally, 17-inch aluminum wheels class things up alongside body-color heated power outside mirrors with integrated turn signals. As hinted, special Midnight, Sport, and Redline cosmetic packages can be added to the LT for extra flair.
Standout Features:
- Ambient interior accent lighting: LED lights cast a gentle glow over the cabin with color and brightness adjustments
- Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system: 8-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration and built-in Wi-Fi
- Keyless Open and Start: Lock/unlock doors and start the engine without removing the key fob from the pocket
2LT
Capping off the lineup, the pampering 2LT leaves little luxury or tech features unchecked. It’s the crème de la crème! Instantly recognizable thanks to its upsized 19-inch alloy wheels, additional chrome accents further distinguish this range-topping trim.
Both driver and front passenger receive 6-way power adjustment plus heating AND ventilated seat cushions — ideal for staying comfy in any climate. Further coddling comes from the standard heated steering wheel on cold days.
An expansive 8-inch reconfigurable Driver Information Center keeps vital stats in your line of sight. The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium system gains integrated navigation for guidance on the go. And wireless charging means no more fumbling with cords each time you get in and out.
For audiophiles, the Bose premium audio system with an external amplifier and nine strategically placed speakers simply sounds sublime. HD Radio capability brings extra stations to the dial as well. An auto-dimming rearview mirror with a camera display ensures an unobstructed view both day and night.
Rounding out the major upgrades are a universal home remote transmitter, 120V rear seat outlet, extra USB ports including USB-C compatibility, and a leather-wrapped shift knob.
If that’s still not enough, available options take safety to an even higher level. Automatic Parking Assist controls steering/shifting to slip into even tight spots with ease. Meanwhile, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking enhances collision avoidance using camera and radar-based data.
Standout Features:
- Driver memory: Recalls saved seat and mirror adjustments at the touch of a button
- Heated steering wheel: Quickly warms steering wheel to the touch for extra comfort
- Interior ambient lighting: LED interior lights gently illuminate the Malibu cabin
