The Malibu is a throwback to simplicity, but it's not setting any pulses racing.
Compliant suspension · Attractive profile
Dated cabin experience · Lackluster powertrain
The 2026 Chevrolet Malibu is a nod to the past, offering a comfortable ride in a world obsessed with tech. Its attractive profile and spacious front seats make it a pleasant place to spend time, especially on long highway cruises. However, the dated cabin and lackluster powertrain remind us that this is a car nearing its swan song. What surprised us most was the compliant suspension, which absorbed bumps with poise, but the single engine option left us wanting more excitement. Ultimately, the Malibu is for those who value comfort and simplicity over cutting-edge features and speed.
Our pick: LT ($27,000)
