The Last Ride for a Beloved Sedan


It’s been one hell of a ride. After 60 years, Chevrolet has announced that 2025 will be the last model year for the beloved Malibu sedan. After nine generations, the Malibu will end its long run on a high note, even as its departure brings mixed feelings from Chevy fans. For decades, this reliable, affordable, and undeniably stylish sedan has been a staple of the Chevrolet lineup.

And now, we have the new 2025 Malibu in stock at Marshall Chevrolet, ready for you to experience firsthand. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about Chevrolet’s last ride for this fan favorite.

2025 Chevrolet Malibu Specs

The 2025 Malibu may not rival the likes of the Corvette for performance, but this sedan still packs a punch. All trim levels feature the same 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with direct injection and stop/start technology, putting out 163 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The Malibu uses a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Instead of fixed gears, it uses a belt and pulleys to find the perfect ratio for your driving.

In terms of dimensions, you’ll find a 111.0-inch wheelbase on a body that stands 57.3 inches tall and spans 73.0 inches wide without mirrors. The EPA fuel economy ratings are to be determined but expect decent mileage from the 15.8-gallon gas tank.

As the most affordable trim in the lineup, the LS includes all the essentials you need for everyday driving. Power comes from the same turbocharged 4-cylinder engine as the pricier trims. Inside, the LS may be basic, but not boring, with a 6-speaker audio system and steering wheel-mounted controls.

Remote start capability means you can cool down the cabin before you get in on hot summer days. Exterior features like automatic on/off headlamps and IntelliBeam auto high beams make nighttime driving easier. Body-color heated power outside mirrors and 16-inch aluminum wheels round out the highlights.

2025 chevy malibu rs

 

If you’re looking for something a bit sportier, check out the RS trim. The first thing you’ll notice is the wheels. The RS sits on larger 18-inch aluminum wheels that give it a more aggressive look.

Speaking of looks, the RS has a black grille with a chrome surround. There’s also a black Malibu badge. But the sportiest element is in the back. The RS adds a rear spoiler and dual-outlet exhaust. Inside, you get an 8-way power driver seat. And the steering wheel is wrapped in leather.

With the LT trim, the Malibu starts to feel a bit more luxurious. This is the first trim where you can get the Midnight, Redline, and Sport Editions. On the outside, you get LED Daytime Running Lamps. But the real upgrades are inside the cabin.

Both the driver and front passenger get heated seats. The back seat passengers aren’t left out either. They get their own vent on the rear console and rear seat armrests. You also get dual-zone automatic climate control. To top it all off, you get a trial subscription to SiriusXM. That’s a lot of music at your fingertips!
