Why it stands out

The 2025 Chevrolet Malibu stands out as the final chapter for Chevrolet’s sedan line, and that alone gives it a distinctive place in the brand’s history. By the time the ninth-generation Malibu arrived as a 2016 model, it had become a much more sophisticated car than the one it replaced, with sleek styling, a longer wheelbase, and a larger, more open-feeling back seat. It was also offered with a wide range of powertrains and technology, including a hybrid, which helped make it feel more modern than earlier Malibus.

For 2025, the Malibu’s appeal is rooted in value and everyday usability. The model line is described as having the best reliability record of all front-wheel drive Malibus, and late examples are noted as being cheap for what they are. The cabin is roomy, the infotainment is easy to use, and the car offers a decent array of safety and driver-assistance features, with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and forward collision warnings becoming standard in 2022. Chevrolet also added wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity in 2021, which keeps the car’s tech feel current enough for many buyers.

There are still trade-offs. Reviewers found the standard 1.5-litre turbocharged engine’s acceleration lacklustre, and the Malibu is not as refined as some rivals. Its safety scores are middling, and earlier versions of the car had weak transmissions before the CVT arrived. Even so, the 2025 Malibu remains appealing as a practical, spacious, and relatively affordable midsize sedan with a long-running name and a strong final-generation reputation.
