Dad stop that!?!?!
I never thought I’d say I want a GM car, and GM runs way back in my family.
Malibu Hybrid has 375 foot pounds of torque, try again.
Good car
Oh damn, The back looks kinda bad.
Awesome looking car but I hate the interior. 🙁
i just rented one of these today. Lets just say i definitely do not want to own this. EVER
I like this guy more than the other guy
Now that looks brilliant
why is this world full of old Toyota Camrys, but no old Chevy Malibus?
I had huge interest in the Malibu until I found out how cramped the seatbelts were and all of the other things the Malibu lacked.
Ford Fusion is better. It has a CD player and circular shift gear.
Fussion?
This guy needs, a shirt that fits.
Is it just me or do the Malibu looks like a catfish in the front
GM makes the very best cars in class, and value. Other car companies make exception vehicles, sometimes even “nicer”, but dollar for dollar nothing comes close to the stuff GM produces. More so GM has made strong efforts in the last 15 years or so to improve things consumers don’t like.
Don’t get me wrong. I loved my Ford Fusion – I think it is the best looking sedan on the road today – Period. The interior is also very nice. Which is a bit curious because I told myself I wouldn’t touch the previous major design. But you are going to pay a couple thousand more for that quality.
Also the the driving ability of GM’s stuff is head and shoulders above that of anything in the same class. My Chevy Cruze would toast my Ford Fusion, but much more important to me my Chevy Cruze try to kill me in nasty winter conditions. When there was 3 inches of snow on the ground I would refuse to drive my own car, and instead practically steal my mom’s Malibu – She didn’t like it one bit, but I wasn’t about to die because the Fusion decided it wanted to head towards a ditch. Sure you can talk about driving skill, but this is the same driver in two different cars, so driving ability to mute.
I also happen to know that should I ever get into a head on collision the Chevy is capable of saving me life. Despite the car being totaled, I walk away without any injuries.
I won’t say I’d never buy a non GM vehicle, but I don’t believe any other company has the value they do.
I’m renting one of these right now while my car is in the paint shop. Visually the car is pretty nice to be honest except for the weird shaped nav screen in the dash. It is pretty slow too. It really should be a v6.
Sothe 2.0 version need regular gas or more expensive gas
I bought a 2017 Malibu and it’s the last Chevy I will ever buy.No horsepower,vibration in steering wheel,touch screen doesn’t always activate and did I mention no horsepower?
Focus ST is the same price and gets more fully loaded also does 0-60 in 5.6 seconds
Incredibly smooth and quiet with good gas mileage and a very spacious interior. The Malibu also looks good!
Ugly AF

You guys need to add more info about the cars being reviewed in the description box. What from level is this car? I have a 2017 Malibu 1LT and it doesn’t have the same A/C knobs as the one in the video.
I actually like the look of this car, but I am worried about resale value. My 2014 Cruze took a huge hit because it was a manual AND every damn rental car company’s lots were littered with Cruze’s.
Can You tell me the name of the tune in the background?
I just wish all car manufacturers would put LED or HID headlights on everything they make standard equipment, I bet even the Malibu Premier doesn’t have LED Headlights but it does have LED taillights.
hyundai copy….. change design
The best Malibu’s are from 2008-2016
Not a huge fan of the design. In my opinion, none of these mid size sedans can compete with the Accord in terms of overall design and quality. I much prefer the sharper but elegant look of the Accord.
I bought a 2017 Malibu and it’s the last Chevy I will ever buy.Would not recommend one to anybody.What are they going to do next,make a 1 litre 3 cylinder with twin turbos?these cars are so under powered it’s sad.I live in Western PA and the hills and terrain and bad roads almost require a V6 or 8
The light show you cannot turn off, the stupid push button start, idiotic warnings, auto lock can’t be turned off, ridiculously complex entertainment system, a horrible car even a rental.
would have like to see more on the computer—-all its features
I feel like this should have been a transformer in transformer the last knight
I thought this car looked familiar now I know where they got the inspiration to design this car a catfish
The styling is a bit garish to me but I suppose you can’t really go wrong with this car. Crazy how it’s available with a 1.5L motor though.
design ruined. dont try asia car style.
This car is butt ugly…and the dash is comical
Keep the content coming, you could potentially be one of my favorites next to this artist named Hunnid. Check out his videos.. I have a few on my page.
The previous years of Chevrolet Impala’s have had unattractive designs in my opinion so, I’m glad they stepped up the exterior designs.
Seeing this car in person, it is absolutely my favorite in the segment. Such modern, classy and handsome lines. The same goes for the interior, very modern pretty yet ergonomically so simple. GM really nailed it with this one, I would love to own one.
looks a lot like the chrysler 200. inside and out.
Good luck
Brazil kkkkkkk fcy.
*stop that*
The ambient noise reduction @2:45 was in my 2006 Acura TL.
Which is the better value… A pre-owned mid 2010’s Malibu… Or a late 2010’s Malibu… decisions… Decisions…
