2026 Chevrolet Malibu review
Chevrolet Malibu: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
9.2/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Chevrolet Malibu sits near the top of its class. Comfortable front seats on long trips; good trunk for the footprint. Some features locked to upper trims and rear headroom is tight for tall passengers, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $27,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.
