The CVT tends to hang out between 2,500 and 3,500 rpm under normal acceleration, but dig deep into the throttle and the transmission will 'shift' at higher revs, mimicking the action of a conventional automatic." - CNET (2019) "As for the 1.5, it's largely inoffensive and mostly quiet in operation, with enough power to get the Malibu up and moving, though certainly not in a hurry.We like the hybrid as well as the zesty 2.0-liter engine, but the base 1.5-liter engine – the one most commonly found at dealer lots – is sluggish." - Edmunds
An additional hybrid option is also available for maximizing efficiency. There are two turbocharged four-cylinder engine options: a base 1.5-liter and a 2.0-liter engine. "Like its competitors, the Malibu can be equipped with different powertrains.Models with the optional larger engine deliver better power and acceleration but worse fuel economy: 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.įor something even more efficient, consider the Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid. The base model gets an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, which is good for the midsize car class. Most critics say that the Malibu's base engine is sufficient for everyday driving, though some note that it feels sluggish. The optional 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, and it’s mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission.
A continuously variable automatic transmission is standard. The Chevrolet Malibu comes standard with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.
