The Chevrolet Malibu has been a part of the brand since 1964, when it was introduced as a trim level for the Chevelle. It earned its spot in the lineup, becoming its own nameplate in 1978, but that only lasted for five years before taking a short hiatus. However, since returning in 1997, the Malibu has maintained its position in the lineup, bringing us to the most recent—and final—model year. Still, the 2025 Malibu isn't going out quietly. With its sleek exterior lines, spacious interior, and smooth ride, there are plenty of reasons to consider it when looking for a new car.
You can find the 2025 Chevy Malibu at our dealership, along with a knowledgeable and friendly team that is familiar with the Malibu from the front bumper to the rear. This means that all your Malibu questions are easily answered, providing you with even more confidence that it is a strong contender, especially when looking for a safe and reliable vehicle that feels solid on the road.
The Malibu has long been considered a family sedan, but the truth is that it has helped a wide range of drivers get from point A to point B in its 60+ year history. The amenities it offers give you everything you need, whether you're using it for your commute or the youngest driver in the family is taking it from home to school and back home again. In fact, its Teen Driver mode makes it a great first car, giving you peace of mind as you pass the keys to the next generation of drivers.
Additionally, its low MSRP, starting at just over $25k, gives you a lot for your money. Of course, you can also opt for one of three special editions—Midnight, Sport, or Redline—if you want something that not only feels good driving down the road but also takes aesthetic appeal to the next level. If you're curious about the latest and last Chevy Malibu, we invite you to stop by today and see if it's the right fit for your needs.
Starting at
Chevrolet has long focused on driver and passenger safety, which can be seen throughout its lineup. In fact, the brand was the first—and is still the only—automotive manufacturer to focus on teen drivers. The built-in Teen Driver mode supports the youngest driver in your family and gives you peace of mind by implementing certain features. For instance, when your teen uses the specially programmed key fob, the Malibu will operate within certain parameters that are set by you. Those parameters include speed limits, volume limits, and more. Additionally, you'll receive an in-vehicle report card that lets you track your teen's driving habits. With it in hand, you and your teen can discuss their victories as well as what they might still need to work on.
There are many other safety features as well, including six standard features that fall under the umbrella of Chevy Safety Assist. Some of those features are as follows...
Automatic Emergency Braking: This system works in conjunction with Forward Collision Alert. In essence, it will apply the brakes automatically if the system senses that, after receiving alerts, you're unable to stop in time to hopefully prevent a collision. While it might not be able to completely avoid an accident, the impact should be reduced thanks to this feature.
Front Pedestrian Braking: Like Automatic Emergency Braking, this system applies the brakes if it senses a pedestrian in the roadway and determines that you won't be able to stop in time to prevent an accident. You'll also receive warnings prior to braking being applied so that you can apply the brakes on your own. It uses the same cameras that the Forward Collision Alert system uses.
Forward Collision Alert: This system works just like the front pedestrian system, except that it scans for possible collisions with another vehicle rather than a pedestrian. As mentioned, if you're unable to apply the brakes on your own to avoid impact, Automatic Emergency Braking will be activated.
Additional standard features include Lane Keep Assist w/ Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam High Beam Assist. Depending on the trim level, you can also opt for Side Blind Zone Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
Whether you're using the Malibu for your daily commute or you and your friends have a road trip planned, knowing you can stay connected as you travel is essential these days. For the 2025 Chevy Malibu, that connection is supported by a Wi-Fi hotspot and Alexa built-in, which are both available depending on the trim level. A seamless connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard across all trim levels.
You'll also enjoy standard Remote Start, which is perfect for chilly mornings, and the convenience of the eight-inch touchscreen that's front and center on the dash. That touchscreen allows you to easily access your favorite apps, providing you with information and entertainment as you travel down the road. Additionally, you'll find that the system is intuitive and easy to use. When opting for the top-tier 2LT trim, you'll also enjoy standard wireless charging, which gives you a cord-free front area and the peace of mind that when, you arrive at your destination, your phone will be ready to go. In addition, ambient lighting and a Bose Premium nine-speaker audio system are also standard for the 2LT trim.
Finally, you can take advantage of OnStar services like turn-by-turn navigation, roadside assistance, stolen vehicle assistance, and more when you subscribe to one of several plans. To get you started, you can enjoy the OnStar Essentials plan for eight years. Additionally, the myChevrolet mobile app can provide you with other support and easy access to certain features from the convenience of your phone. You can enjoy everything the app offers for three years through the Remote Access Plan. After that, you can choose if you want to continue with the plan.
The 2025 Chevy Malibu has four trim levels, but it's the special editions that might catch your eye. You can choose from one of three: Midnight, Sport, and Redline. The Midnight Edition is just as it sounds. You'll find all-black exterior features, including 19-inch black-painted aluminum wheels, black bowtie emblems on the front and back, as well as a blacked-out grille. Additionally, the Midnight Edition is only available in Mosaic Black Metallic for the exterior. On the inside, the Midnight Edition sports a jet-black interior, a wrapped steering wheel, and a leather-wrapped shifter.
The Sport Edition offers slightly more aggressive lines and detailing. Like the Midnight Edition, it has 19-inch black-painted aluminum wheels and black detailing. In addition, it has a jet-black interior with a leather-wrapped shifter and a wrapped steering wheel, which might make you wonder about the differences between the Midnight and Sport Editions. That can be seen most prominently in the exterior color, where, as mentioned, the Midnight Edition is only available in Mosaic Black Metallic.
Last but not least, the Redline Edition adds a touch of luxury. It, too, has 19-inch black-painted aluminum wheels, but you'll also be treated to red accents, such as red hash marks on the wheels and red decals on the outside mirrors. Each of the special editions is available when you choose either the 1LT or 2LT trim levels.
