For 2023, Chevy offers the Malibu in four trims: LS, RS, LT, and 2LT. Standard features beginning with the base LS include power outside mirrors, automatic on/off headlights, an acoustic laminated windshield, daytime running lights, and 16-inch aluminum wheels. Select the RS to get a black grille with chrome surround, a rear spoiler, body-colored power outside mirrors, front and rear bowtie emblems, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Moving up to the LT adds 17-inch aluminum wheels while adding body-colored heated power outside mirrors and LED daytime running lights. The 2LT sits atop 19-inch aluminum wheels and will also get you bright sill plates, LED headlights, and LED taillights.

One engine is offered for all trims of the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu. You get a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission that cranks out 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. This fuel sipper has excellent fuel economy, checking in at an EPA-estimated 36 mpg on the highway for more miles between stops at the gas station.

The 2023 Chevy Malibu offers a smooth drive that is easy to control, thanks to the standard front-wheel drive. Additional performance-enhancing features include a MacPherson strut front suspension, a roadside emergency toolkit, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, and StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control. The stop/start engine control system will shut down the engine at idle, providing excellent fuel efficiency.
