For the Chevy Malibu, that end comes with the 2025 model.

We invite you to visit Betley Chevrolet to take a test drive of the 2025 Chevy Malibu and discover for yourself what makes this sedan so special and how it has managed to capstone a six-decade legacy. Here is some more information about the 2025 Malibu to get you started on your research.

Exterior Styling

The 2025 Chevy Malibu has an elegant design that will turn heads and elevate your status, wherever you may go. The aerodynamic profile has smooth and thoughtful lines that blend together all of the design elements seamlessly.

Subtle detailing gives the 2025 Malibu a sense of being in motion, even when it’s not. The front end has an understated wing motif throughout the design elements, including the upturned grille with an inset design of diamonds turning up and out. The grille blends into wing-shaped headlights, which rest over wing-shaped fog lights. Grooves along the paneling look like the ripples of wind as the car flies down the highway.

Body-colored accents throughout the design maintain the streamlined aesthetic, but black accents punctuate key aspects of the design, such as the border around the windows and lights.

Seven exterior colors are available on the 2025 Chevy Malibu, giving you some flexibility to express your personal style. The color options include Radiant Red Tintcoat, Mineral Gray Metallic, Summit White, Mosaic Black Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, and Night Shade Metallic. The last color, Night Shade Metallic, is one of the few new features for the 2025 Malibu. It is a parting gift for this exceptional sedan in its final year.

Interior Styling and Capacity

The interior of the 2025 Chevy Malibus is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. It offers a welcoming atmosphere that will put you at ease each day on your drive.

The interior has modern styling that features a symmetrical dashboard design, with vertical air vents flanking the infotainment display screen and sweeping up and outward, carrying over the wing motif. Graceful, sweeping lines are seen throughout the interior, with different components accented by chrome. Everything feels thoughtfully designed, and the carefully placed details create an appealing space.

The ergonomically designed jet black premium cloth seating is comfortable even on long drives. There is room to seat five passengers, with a comfortable 102.9 cubic feet of passenger space. In the front seats, passengers will have 39.1 inches of head room, 41.5 inches of legroom, 58.5 inches of shoulder room, and 54.1 inches of hip room. Both the driver and passenger seat have six points of adjustment, including height adjustment. Meanwhile, passengers in the rear seats will have 37.5 inches of head room, 38.1 inches of legroom, 57.1 inches of shoulder room, and 53.4 inches of hip room. Seating includes a wide base, supportive sides, and comfortable backs, ensuring that the driver and all passengers have a comfortable ride.

The 2025 Malibu also has plenty of cargo capacity. In addition to the many interior compartments for personal storage, such as the front and rear cupholders and door pockets, as well as the front seatback storage, the trunk has a capacity of 15.7 cubic feet. For a midsize sedan, that’s going to be plenty of cargo space to meet your needs.

Power and Performance

As a sedan, the 2025 Chevy Malibu isn’t going to be a speed racer. However, it is going to offer consistently comfortable performance to provide a driving experience that you’ll love.

The 2025 Malibu is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline 4 engine that puts out 163 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. It is the only engine option in the Malibu lineup, but most drivers will not feel like they need more to make their daily drive more enjoyable or capable. The engine is paired with a continuously variable speed transmission, and front-wheel drive is standard.

With the Malibu, you’ll enjoy a quiet and smooth ride with easy handling. With the finely tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and 4-link rear suspension and the noise dampening measures implemented in the cabin, you won’t feel as many bumps on the road, and you won’t have to deal with as many of the noises from the wind rushing by or the other cars on the road.

You’ll get great fuel economy in the Chevy Malibu, helping to keep your overall costs low over time. The 2025 model gets an estimated 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. That’s a combined fuel rating of 30 mpg.

Infotainment and Convenience Features

Driving will be even more fun in the 2025 Chevy Malibu with advanced infotainment and technology features. An 8.0-inch infotainment display screen is standard, which is large enough to see and navigate easily, but not so large that it takes up excessive real estate on the dash. The system is connected to a six-speaker audio system, as well as wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for easy streaming, hands-free calling, and access to apps like navigation and weather. There’s a USB connection, as well as an auxiliary audio input with external media control. Speed-sensitive volume control ensures that you can always comfortably hear your music over the engine and the noise of the road.

Several other advanced technology features are included on the 2025 Malibu, including a keyless ignition, steering wheel-mounted controls, single zone climate control, interior air filtration, and a rear view camera.

There are many more technology and convenience features available as you move up the trim levels on the Malibu. You can also add on specifics items of interest through optional packages or a la carte upgrades. The associates at Betley Chevrolet can walk you through these options and help you find the fight configuration at the right price.

Safety Features

The 2025 Chevy Malibu has not yet received safety ratings, but it is expected to score as highly as its predecessors. This is due to not only the exceptional design of this stylish design, but also the extensive safety features and driver aids that come standard on the car.

Some of the standard safety features on the 2025 Malibu include a pre- and post-collision safety system, emergency braking preparation, emergency braking assistance, rear parking sensors, lane departure warning, and lane departure assistance.
