Overview

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu competes in a fading midsize sedan segment and offers just a few updates for the current year. Starting at an MSRP of $22,270, the Malibu 2021 now offers wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard. A Sport Edition Package is available with the LT trim, accentuating exterior styling on the LT trim. The list of safety features is quite lean but the “Buckle-to-Drive” feature is now standard across all the trims. The 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter turbo engines with 160 hp and 250 hp are offered. Overall, the 2021 Malibu aims to lead with practicality, good specifications, generous dimensions and affordability. 

 

 

2021 Chevrolet Malibu Buying Advice 

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu is a no-nonsense family sedan and it's not shy of its outdated styling. Despite tough competition from multiple automakers, the Malibu is the only surviving American sedan in this segment. Chevrolet’s midsize sedan can be considered as a good car, considering the fact that it has had two recalls and four complaints registered with the NHTSA. Compared to previous model years, the Malibu 2021 has improved in terms of better reliability and lesser problems. We would recommend going for the 2021 or 2022 model years only. 

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu is offered in L, LS, RS, LT and Premier trim configurations. The L, LS, RS and LT trims are powered by a 1.5-liter turbo engine with 160 horsepower. The top-tier Premier trim is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo engine producing 250 horsepower. All the trims are priced well and offer decent interior features, comfort, trunk space and practicality. Chevrolet’s only sedan competes with the likes of Honda Accord, Kia K5 and Toyota Camry.

2021 Chevrolet Malibu for sale

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu is not a modern and up-to-date sedan. The “Kansas-Made” sedan is known for its affordable price, good trim configurations, interior space, and practical nature. The Malibu does miss out on advanced driver-assistance features that are offered as standard on some rivals. Some good finance and lease options ($359/month, 42 months, $2,999 D.P, 10,000 miles) are available as per buyers profile. Going for a used 2021 Malibu sedan can be a clever decision and you might find one in good condition for sale at a much lower cost.

Buying Advice

The 2021 Chevy Malibu is offered in desirable trim configurations and buyers can choose one as per their requirements. However, we would recommend the mid-level RS trim. The RS trim combines sporty appearance with decent fuel economy. It offers blacked-out appearance, 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, power outside mirrors, RS accents, rear spoiler, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. So, for the asking price, the list of exterior and interior features is quite good. However, if budget is not a constraint then LT and Premier trims would offer better creature comforts

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu is an affordable sedan and offers good practicality. The L, LS, RS is for the more budget-conscious, while the LT and Premier trims are targeted towards better creature comforts and performance. As compared to previous model years, the 2021 Malibu scored an overall 80 out of 100 in the J.D. Power Consumer Rating, based on multiple consumer reviews. A high score of 84 out of 100 for quality and reliability points at the issue-free nature of this sedan. 

Considering a five year period, the estimated ”Cost-To-Own” is pretty much average for this segment. After five years, Chevrolet’s midsize sedan would depreciate by $13,000. The fuel, insurance and maintenance charges are estimated to be $7,860, $6,979 and $4,963 respectively. The repair charges are estimated to be $968 over a period of five years, which is pretty average. However, the Malibu lacks modern driver-assistance features as standard and are offered with optional Driver Confidence Packages

Features
6.0/10

The Malibu doesn't stand out from the crowd of mid-size sedans, all of which are attracting fewer shoppers as SUVs take over as the family vehicle of choice- Cars.com

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu is offered in L, LS, RS, LT and Premier trim configurations. The range starts at an MSRP of $22,270 for the base L trim and goes up to $33,500 for the top-tier Premier trim. The practical midsize sedan from Chevrolet ticks many right boxes but lacks modern interior design and advanced driver-assistance features as standard. With growing competition, the Malibu finds it tough to exist and stand out in the crowded segment. The base L trim is pretty basic and must be avoided in our opinion. 

Climbing up the trim ladder and moving to the LS trim adds features like teen driver technology, active noise cancellation, digital compass, and outside temperature display. The rest of the features remain the same as the L trim. The RS trim adds blacked-out appearance with black grille inserts and black bowtie emblems. The rear spoiler, dual exhaust outlets and RS badging accentuate the exterior styling. The LT trim adds dual-zone climate control, remote vehicle starter system, power-adjustable seats with power lumbar control, rear console vents and LED taillamps.

Chevrolet also offers Driver Confidence Packages for enhanced safety and a new Sport Edition (blacked-out appearance) is introduced for the LT trim besides Leather Package, Redline Edition, and Midnight Edition. The optional packages enhanced the exterior appearance of the LT trim. 

Fuel Economy
6.0/10

In terms of EPA fuel-mileage estimates, the Malibu's smallest engine underperforms the equivalent base powertrains in the Accord and the Toyota Camry- Car and Driver 

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu offers decent gas mileage but is not the best in the segment. With a 1.5-liter engine, one can expect an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 29/36/32 mpg in city/highway/combined driving conditions. Similarly, the Premier trim with a 2.0-liter engine is EPA-estimated to deliver 22/33/26 mpg in the city/highway/combined driving conditions. With a fuel tank capacity of 15.8 gallons, the Malibu offers a combined driving range of 506 miles and 411 miles with the smaller and bigger engines respectively.

The Honda Accord is the most impressive sedan in the comparison, offering best combined fuel economy. The remaining sedans offer same gas mileage in combined conditions. The Chevrolet Malibu and Toyota Camry offers the maximum driving range in combined driving conditions, followed by Honda Accord and Kia K5. A larger fuel tank of 15.8 gallons allows the Malibu to offer a long driving range, despite lower efficiency. 

Interior
7.0/10

While the Malibu's interior is not the fanciest or the quietest, it is very comfortable and ergonomically friendly- Car and Driver

The interior of the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu is well-designed and commodious. However, with competition heating up in the segment, the cabin feels dated. Just like many other sedans, the Malibu can accommodate five passengers with decent comfort. The dashboard sports symmetric look, with the infotainment display separating both the dash and the glovebox. The infotainment touchscreen is placed in the middle of the dash, integrated within the center console and flanked by two large air vents. We hope that the plasticky bits reduce in the future iterations for a more upmarket feel. 

The outside visibility is good but not the best in the segment. The front seats offer decent support but the images don’t do justice to the seating space. The rear seats are spacious too and offer adequate legroom for passengers. The L trim gets Medium Ash Gray Premium Cloth upholstery. The LS trim gets an additional choice for Jet Black Premium Cloth upholstery. The RS trim gets only the Jet Black Premium Cloth upholstery. The LT trim gets the same interior color options as the LS trim, adding Light Wheat and Jet Black Leather upholstery. The Premier trim gets only Light Wheat and Jet Black Perforated Leather upholstery.

A 15.7 cubic feet of trunk space and some convenience features like keyless open and start, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, steering mounted controls and power windows are standard. Other features like power-adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seating positions, dual-zone climate control system, and sunroof are offered on the LT and Premier trims. The RS and above trims come with rear armrest with cup holders. The LT and Premier trims get access to rear console vents. All the trims get access to cargo anchors in the trunk. Even the door trim pads, front center console and map pockets offer storage space.

Every sedan iin the comparison can accomodate up to five passengers. The Chevrolet Malibu offers decent trunk space but it's not the best in the segment. The Honda Accord offers the maximum cargo capacity, followed by Kia K5, Chevy Malibu and Toyota Camry. The Honda Accord offers the best rear seat legroom, followed by Chevy Malibu, Toyota Camry and Kia K5. The good thing is that, the best front passenger legroom is offered by Kia K5 and Chevy Malibu, which is more important for drivers. 

For the 2021 model year, an 8.0-inch touchscreen display, running on Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System, with support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is standard. The top-tier Premier trim supports the Plus version of the interface and navigation system as well. A six-speaker audio system, one Type-A and one Type-C USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity is standard too. A 9-speaker Bose premium audio system is offered on Premier trim only. The SiriusXM satellite radio with 3-month complimentary subscription, is offered with the LT and Premier trims. 

Some of the key interior features of the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu are:  

  • Leather-wrapped shift knob and seats
  • Dual--zone climate control system
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Power adjustable driver’s seat
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • SiriusXM satellite radio
  •  9-speaker Bose audio system

Exterior
6.0/10

The Chevrolet Malibu was introduced in 2016 and was redesigned for the 2019 model year. However, the original body profile has remained the same. The 2021 Chevy Malibu gets the same sleek headlamps and appealing front chrome grille with a horizontal bow-tie emblem on it. The fog lamps in the front bumper are attractive and unique. The front bumper blends well with the front fascia design. The sleek front fascia without much drama lends it an appealing and executive sedan appearance..

The side profile gets two character lines on the doors that tend to merge with each other. Depending on the trim configuration, the wheel sizes vary from 16-inch to 19-inch. The length is just about adequate, while the curb weight is on the lower side. The rear profile looks good as well with two well-designed minimalistic tail lamps and available two trapezoidal exhaust tips. Different exterior colors like Summit White, Ice Metallic, Dark Ash, Mineral Gray, Cherry Red Tintcoat, Black Cherry Metallic, Northsky Blue Metallic and Mosaic Black Metallic.are offered.

The Chevrolet Malibu is the lightest sedan in the comparison with a lower curb weight. It is also the longest sedan, followed by Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Kia K5. A longer wheelbase of 111.4 inches offers better stability on highways and aids with good rear seat legroom as well. The ground clearance of all the sedans is quite similar. Overall, the Chevrolet Malibu offers balanced exterior dimensions, resulting in better interior space. 

Some of the key exterior features of the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu are: 

  • LED headlamps
  • Heated outside mirrors
  • Black/chrome exterior trim
  • Dual exhausts
  • Rear spoiler (RS variant only)
  • Body-colored ORVM
  • Dual-pane sunroof

Safety
8.9/10

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu performed well in crashworthiness tests but failed to earn the Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS, which is the second-highest honor from the agency. It received only ‘Marginal’ ratings in the small overlap front passenger-side test and the LATCH tests. However, it has also scored an excellent four-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA, which is also very impressive.

It packs multiple passive safety features like airbags, teen driver technology, rear vision camera, buckle-to-drive and LATCH system, while offering several active safety features like the forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. However, most of these features are not offered as standard and are a part of Driver Confidence I and II Package.

Some of the key safety features of the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu include:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Buckle to Drive
  • Automatic Park Assist
  • StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control
  • Teen Driver
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System
  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Following Distance Indicator
  • Forward Collision Alert

Competition
8.0/10

2021 Chevrolet Malibu Vs. 2021 Honda Accord

Honda Accord has remained the trusted pick in this category for a long while, and it also has the best sales numbers. Once we compare any car to the Honda Accord, it is not hard to understand why.

The Accord is a better-performing car and a more modern car, and it is also laid out with more features. It also has better sales and service support than the Chevrolet counterpart. When comparing the performance, Honda has better numbers. Of the two, Honda Accord is the better choice.

2021 Chevrolet Malibu Vs. 2021 Kia K5

Even though the Kia K5 is a more modern rival to the Chevrolet Malibu, the American does manage to outperform the Kia in every single aspect. The Malibu offers better rear seat legroom and driving range as compared to the Kia K5. 

The Kia K5 is a bit more expensive and packs somewhat more features, but it’s an inferior car in terms of performance, interior space, and so on. Since these parameters are important in this category, we would pick the Chevrolet Malibu.

2021 Chevrolet Malibu vs. 2021 Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry has a very specific audience. It has impressed a lot of people with its stellar reliability, excellent service support as well as high fuel efficiency. It also offers the same combined driving range as the Malibu. 

Nowadays, however, its fuel efficiency is not the best in the category, but it still has a lot of its strengths. It is also built to higher standards than the Chevrolet Malibu. The Camry offers better performance and even cargo capacity is slightly better. We would suggest the Toyota Camry. 

Final Verdict
8.0/10

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu is an aging midsize sedan and Chevrolet has not paid enough attention on it. Chevrolet will discontinue the Malibu after the 2023 model year and replace it with an EV or a more modern car. However, in its very competitive category, this sympathy is not enough to make it sell as the rivals offer much better value propositions in terms of performance, handling, trunk space, gas mileage and even comfort. For these reasons, we feel it is better to go with something like the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry instead of the Chevrolet Malibu.

              Family car!!

              Pros - ["Comfortable seats", "Design of the interior and exterior", "Great on gas"]

              Cons - ["Cloth seats", "Shift to park issues", "Car stereo could sound better"]

              Overall, I love my car. Not only is it great on gas, but also affordable, with enough room for a family of 5. Dual-pane sunroof. Car drives smooth for those long rode trips. If you like speed, this is a vehicle for you! From 0 to 60 in less than 10 seconds. 29 mpg in the city, 36 mpg on the highway! Also, has a 163-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that drives the front wheels throug...

              Gets The Job Done

              Pros - ["Gas milage", "Seats are comfy"]

              Cons - ["The lack of features", "The poor quality design"]

              Do you need a car that comes with lots of crazy features that make your life easier? Do you need a car that will impress everybody when you drive by them? Do you need a car that outperforms all others in the industry? If so, this is not the car you are looking for but, it will get you from A to B.

              Fantastic family car!

              Pros - ["The spacious trunk and spacious interior", "The style of the car is awesome.", "The color of my car is outstanding."]

              Cons - ["The sound system could be better.", "The fact it doesn't come in AWD", "The tire options could be better"]

              I've been driving my 2022 Chevy Impala for over a year now, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Here's why: Comfort and Space: The interior is incredibly spacious and comfortable. Whether I'm driving alone or with family, everyone has plenty of room. The seats are plush and supportive, perfect for long drives. The trunk is also huge, which is great for road trips and grocery runs. Perform...
