Why it stands out

The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu stands out as a roomy, good-value midsize sedan that had already been substantially modernised by the time this model year arrived. Its sleek styling gave it a more contemporary look than earlier Malibus, and its longer wheelbase and overall length helped create a larger, more open-feeling back seat. Buyers also got a broad spread of trims and powertrains, including a hybrid, which made the Malibu unusually flexible for a mainstream family car.

For 2018, the standard engine was a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 163 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and rated at 7.6 L/100 km combined. The Malibu Hybrid used a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine and a 76-kW electric motor for 182 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, with a combined fuel economy rating of 5.1 litres per 100 kilometres. A 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque was also available, though it was tied to the top-tier Premier trim and returned 9.0 L/100 km combined. That range of choices is part of what made the Malibu distinctive: it could be an efficient commuter, a more powerful near-luxury family sedan, or something in between.

The 2018 Malibu also offered a useful mix of technology and safety equipment. The Chevy MyLink system ran on a seven-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while an eight-inch screen was optional on upper trims and standard on Premier. Depending on trim, buyers could get lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and front and rear park assist. Its main drawbacks were that none of those safety features were standard in 2018 and the 2.0-litre turbo required paying for the most expensive trim, but the Malibu still appealed as a comfortable, efficient, and well-equipped sedan with a strong reliability reputation for this generation.
