We feature the full lineup of Chevy models, so you are sure to find the 2025 Malibu you will love, with the trim level, features, and options you want.

A Great Way to Get Around Karns

The 2025 Malibu is equipped with a turbocharged 1.5-liter I-4 gas engine and continuous variable transmission (CVT), which is designed to give you a smoother transition as you accelerate. The Malibu’s engine has a dual overhead cam design, giving you 16 valves for its four cylinders. It has Variable Valve Timing to improve fuel efficiency, shutting down valves at lower speeds to reduce fuel consumption; this results in the Malibu getting a combined fuel economy of 31 MPG, with a very impressive 28 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway in front-wheel drive.

The engine has an output of 163 hp at 5,700 RPM and 184 lb-ft of torque at 2,500-3,000 RPM. This provides you with enough power and acceleration for getting on the interstate when you are driving home from Knoxville after a day at work. In fact, the Malibu will go from 0 to 60 mph in just 7.8 seconds, giving you the ability to safely merge onto the interstate during rush hour.

Comfortable for Your Friends and Family

Chevy has given the Malibu a very roomy interior that can seat up to five passengers comfortably. In fact, you get 102 cu.ft. of space inside the Malibu’s passenger compartment, which is ideal for Karns families who want to head out for a fun day exploring. The front-row passengers have 39.1 inches of headroom and 41.5 inches of legroom, while those in the back will appreciate 37.5 inches of headroom and 38.1 inches of legroom. We are sure you will love not having your friends or family members fight over who gets to ride up front!

The Malibu’s seats are upholstered with premium cloth fabric—unless you get the top-tier 2LT trim, which has perforated leather seats. The 1LT and 2LT trims also get heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, which will come in handy on cold morning drives. The Malibu also has a spacious 15.7-cu.ft. trunk, which is plenty of room to store your suitcases when you go out on a fun-filled road trip.

Safety Tech That Comes Standard

Chevy has always placed a premium on safety, innovating in this field every year. This is certainly the case with the 2025 Malibu, which has ten airbags strategically placed throughout the cabin; these will shield you and your loved ones in the event of an accident. In addition, the Malibu has Chevy’s Buckle-to-Drive feature, which will not allow you to shift out of ‘park’ if the driver and front passenger aren’t wearing their seat belts. If you plan on buying a Malibu for your young driver, then this feature will give you the peace of mind that your child must wear a seat belt to drive.

The Malibu is also equipped with one of the most comprehensive suites of advanced driver assistance features. Chevy Safety Assist uses sensors, cameras, and computer technology to help you avoid accidents and stay aware of your surroundings.

If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, the Following Distance Indicator will sound, letting you know you need to back off. If the system detects an imminent front-end collision, the Forward Collision Alert will sound, giving you time to take evasive action; the Automatic Emergency Braking system will otherwise engage, bringing you to a safe stop or reducing the damage caused by an unavoidable accident. At lower speeds, the Malibu will alert you to pedestrians and cyclists in your path with the Front Pedestrian Braking system.

One of the most common causes of highway accidents is distracted driving. A momentary lapse of concentration may cause you to drift into an adjacent lane. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning will help you avoid this. If the system detects that you are drifting, it will sound an alert while using slight steering adjustments to get you back centered in your lane.

Night driving can often be a challenge, especially in the countryside; evenings get very dark, and poor lighting can affect your driving. This is why the Malibu is equipped with IntelliBeam High Beam Assist. When the system detects an area of low light, it will automatically turn on your Malibu’s high beams. Once the lighting improves or the system detects another motorist, it will turn the high beams off. This will let you focus on your driving instead of having to work the high beams yourself.

If you are like many folks in Karns, you prefer to shop downtown or in nearby Knoxville. However, street parking can often be a hassle. This is why Chevy has made Rear Park Assist standard on the 2025 Malibu. The system will help guide you into a parallel parking spot, making sure that you don’t strike the vehicle behind you.

Advanced Infotainment and Connectivity

The 2025 Malibu comes standard with an 8-inch color touchscreen display located in the center of the dashboard; this interface provides access to your favorite apps and important information on your vehicle. You can connect your phone using wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; this comes in handy if you have left your charging cables at home. Once your phones are integrated, you can make hands-free calls and texts and stream your favorite music. The Malibu’s 2LT trim adds a built-in navigation system that will give you turn-by-turn directions with real-time updates on traffic.

Karns drivers will enjoy creating a soundtrack to drive around town to. Each Malibu features a 6-speaker audio system, providing excellent sound throughout the car’s cabin. The 2LT gets a Bose premium 9-speaker audio system that is sure to be the envy of audiophiles. If you want to really test out the range and dynamics of your Malibu’s audio system, you can opt for the available three-year subscription to SiriusXM, which is optional on most 2025 Malibu trims; this will give you access to an incredible array of ad-free music, talk, sports, comedy, and news.
