Why it stands out

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu stands out as a roomy, value-focused midsize sedan that had already benefited from the 2016 redesign’s more sophisticated shape and larger, more open-feeling back seat. By this point in its life cycle, it also had the strongest reliability reputation of the front-wheel-drive Malibu family, which helps explain why it appeals to buyers looking for a practical used car that does not feel as old or as rough around the edges as earlier versions. It is also a relatively affordable way to get a larger sedan, especially compared with some rivals.

For 2021, Chevrolet added wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The Malibu also offered a seven-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while an eight-inch screen was optional on upper trims and standard on Premier trim. Buyers could still find a range of driver-assistance features, including 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, although none of those features were standard across the line. Chevrolet also made some active safety features standard in 2022, so 2021 models do not yet have that broader standard equipment.

The main trade-off is that the Malibu was not as refined as some of its better-known competitors, and reviewers found the standard 1.5-litre turbocharged engine produced lacklustre acceleration. Even so, the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu remains appealing for shoppers who want a comfortable, easy-to-live-with sedan with useful technology, a spacious cabin, and a strong value proposition.
