5 Reasons to Love the 2020 Chevy Malibu

1. Interior

The Chevrolet Malibu can seat five people, with plenty of space available in the front seats and in-between the front and back seats. It features six-way manually adjustable front seats, which are comfortable enough for long periods of driving.

The cabin interior has also been updated with new materials now included. Most of the surface is covered in hard plastic and high-quality cloth, with hints of leather.

2. Trunk and Cabin Space

The trunk space of the Malibu is above average for its class, at 15.8 cubic feet. The trunk opening is broad and extensive and makes it easy to reach in and grab your cargo.

Inside the cabin, you get much more legroom and headspace than before. You can also fold the back seats to haul longer items, but the seats won’t lie completely flat. There are also two complete sets of latch connectors for child car safety, as well as an upper tether anchor for the middle seat.

3. Infotainment, Navigation, and Connectivity

The Malibu now comes with Chevrolet’s Infotainment 3 interface, which replaces the old and outdated MyLink system. It features an 8-inch touch-screen that sits prominently on the center stack in a clear view of the driver. The whole setup is generally user-friendly, with quick response times.

There are large virtual buttons and a well-planned menu structure as well. You can easily integrate your smartphone with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and opt for remote start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Additional features include:

  • Wi-Fi hot spot, satellite radio, and navigation
  • Nine-speaker Bose premium stereo
  • Two rear USB ports and wireless device charging

4. Engine Performance

Malibu’s standard model comes with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine fused with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). This engine can produce up to 160 horsepower, which is enough to power you for most daily tasks.

The Malibu has an optional 250-horsepower turbocharged engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission for those looking for more power. It provides enough power for quick acceleration and for cruising at highway speeds.

5. Safety and Features

The 2020 Chevrolet Malibu received four out of five stars in the rollover test from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. When it comes to features, the Malibu comes with a rearview camera, driver assistance, and Teen Driver system. This new system allows you to accomplish things like setting the maximum speed, adjusting audio volume limits, and monitoring the driving performance.

The 2020 Chevrolet Malibu has a low starting price and some attractive features, and it stands out in the midsize car class. Contact Ed Martin today to find out more about the new Chevy Malibu or to browse our car collection.
