Overview

The 2023 Chevy Malibu will not feature any substantial exterior design changes. However, Chevrolet has made significant changes to the lineup and powertrain options. The Premier trim will be discontinued and replaced with 2LT trim. The 2LT trim can be considered as a slightly toned-down version of the Premier trim. The 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine with 250 horsepower will no longer be offered and the 1.5-liter turbo engine with 160 horsepower will power all the trims. With an expected starting price of $24,495 for the base LS trim and going all the way up to $30,500 for the 2LT trim.

2023 Chevrolet Malibu Buying Advice

The Chevrolet Malibu sedan 4d won’t be available after the 2023 model year. The discontinuation of Chevy’s midsize sedan didn’t come to us as a surprise and it’s fate was long expected. However, the Malibu is not bad in any way but it just fades in comparison to its rivals. With the advent of compact and subcompact SUVs in the market, the entire sedan segment is running dry rapidly. If you are still into the Malibu sedan then we would recommend buying the 2022 model year as it has zero recalls and just a single complaint is registered with the NHTSA.

The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu will be offered in four different trim configurations. Unlike the current model year, the 2023 model will be powered by a single engine option, offering 160 hp. Nothing much is known about the hybrid trim and it might not go on sale altogether. Being the last model year for Chevy’s midsize sedan, some capable rivals like Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata will continue to challenge it. Let’s see in our detailed review, how it fares against them

2023 Chevrolet Malibu for sale

The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu will be offered in LS, RS, LT and 2LT. With expected msrp ranging from $24,495 to $30,500, the Malibu 2023 strives to survive in the fading family sedan segment. The production of the 2023 Malibu is expected to begin at Chevrolet’s Kansas manufacturing facility in September. However, there are still no clear reports about the hybrid version and the 2023 model will mark the farewell of Malibu sedan. Chevrolet might replace it with another electric vehicle in the near future. If you are interested in buying a used Chevrolet Malibu then you might find one in good condition with low odometer mileage.

Buying Advice

Going by the features and specifications of the 2022 model year, we assume that the 2023 Malibu will also offer similar features. The LT trim will continue to make more sense, offering LED daytime running lamps, LED tail lamps, heated front seats, remote vehicle starter system, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and dual-zone climate control system. We hope that Chevrolet will continue to offer Midnight Edition , Redline Edition and Sport Edition packages for enhanced appearance.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu does little to stand out, but that may be just fine for your needs- The Car Connection

The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu will belong to the ninth-generation and be the eighth model year of the same. Surely, the Malibu has come a long way in a competitive market, full of competition. The main reason behind its existence could be attributed to interior comfort, decent reliability, fuel economy and cargo capacity. The 2022 model year scored an overall 80 out of 100 in the J.D. Power Consumer Rating. For quality and reliability it scored 84 out of 100 which can be considered as “Great”. We expect similar results for the 2023 model year as well.

For the 2023 model year, Chervolet offers automatic emergency braking as standard across all the trims. However, most of the advanced driver-assistance features would not be standard and buyers will have to opt for them via the Driver Confidence Packages. The current Malibu earned a four-star safety rating from the NHTSA. Even the IIHS rated it as “Good” in most of the crash tests. The fuel economy should not be a problem as the 2.0-liter engine will not be on offer and every trim is expected to offer 32 mpg in combined driving conditions.

Features

We don’t expect to see any major changes to the Malibu’s list of tech features for the upcoming model year- Carsdirect.com

The 2023 Chevy Malibu will be offered in LS, RS, LT, and 2LT trim configurations. The starting msrp is expected to be slightly more than the current model year. Even the outgoing model is known for its ergonomic interior design, sleek exterior styling, The base LS trim does not offer much in terms of creature comforts and is best suitable for fleet. However, Chevrolet does offer some features like keyless open and start, 8-inch touchscreen display, 6-speaker audio system, and 16-inch aluminum wheels as standard

Moving to the RS trim, some exterior elements like black bowtie emblems, chrome grille surround with black grille inserts, 18-inch aluminum wheels, rear spoiler, dual exhaust outlets, and red RS badging for a more sporty appearance. Even power-adjustable driver’s seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and outside power-adjustable mirrors in body color will also be standard. The LT trim will offer LED daytime running lamps, LED tail lamps, heated front seats, remote vehicle starter system, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and dual-zone climate control system.

The LT trim is expected to offer Leather Package, Midnight Edition, Redline Edition, and Sport Edition packages.

Fuel Economy
4.0/10

The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu delivers decent fuel economy- The Car Connection

Walking on the footsteps of the 2022 Chevy Malibu, the 2023 model is also expected to offer decent gas mileage. The outgoing model year offers an EPA-estimated fuel economy 29 mpg in the city, 36 mpg on the highways, and 32 mpg in mixed driving conditions. With a fuel tank of 15.8 gallons and the 1.5-liter four-pot motor, it can offer a staggering 506 miles of range in combined driving conditions. The maximum driving range in the city and highway driving conditions is expected to be 458 miles and 569 miles respectively.

Model	2022 Chevrolet Malibu	2022 Toyota Camry	2022 Honda Accord	2022 Hyundai Sonata
MPG (city)	29	28	30	28
MPG (highway)	36	39	38	38
MPG (combined)	32	32	33	32
Fuel capacity (gallons)	15.8-gallons	15.8-gallons	14.8-gallons	14.8-gallons
Range (City, highway, combined, in miles)	458/569/506 mi	442/616/506 mi	444/562/488 mi	414/562/474 mi

Even though the Chevrolet Malibu has a commendable fuel economy, the Honda Accord delivers a better gas mileage in the segment followed by the Chevy Malibu, Toyota Camry, and Hyundai Sonata. The Chevy Malibu and Toyota Camry have bigger fuel tanks with a gallon more than the Accord and Sonata. So, this results in an improved driving range in highway and combined driving conditions, which is in excess of 500 miles.

Interior
6.0/10

The interior of the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu will retain a lot of the same elements as the current model- Carsdirect.com

Just like the exterior design, we expect everything to remain similar inside as well. The ergonomic dashboard with centrally-stacked touchscreen display, running on one of the most intuitive interfaces in the segment will be on offer as well. The front seats will be wide and supportive, although the narrow back cushions may be an issue for some passengers. The outside visibility will be just as good and passengers won’t have anything to complain about. Overall, the 2023 Malibu will accommodate up to five passengers with ease.

The rear seats will offer decent comfort and legroom as well. So, longer journeys won’t be a problem. Just like the 2022 model year, the interior color combinations and upholstery materials will remain majorly the same. The LS trim can be had with Jet Black or Medium Ash Gray premium cloth upholstery. The RS trim comes with only Jet Black premium cloth upholstery. The LT trim offers the same options as the LS trim and adds Jet Black and White Wheat leather upholstery. The 2LT trim gets Jet Black and White Wheat perforated leather upholstery.

The trunk capacity will not be the best in the segment but offer 15.7 cubic feet of space. Some convenience features like keyless open and start, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, steering mounted controls and power windows will be standard. Other features like power-adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control system, and sunroof are offered on the LT and 2LT trims. The RS and LT trims will come with rear armrest with cup holders. The LT trims get access to rear console vents.

Model	2023 Chevrolet Malibu	2022 Toyota Camry	2022 Honda Accord	2022 Hyundai Sonata
Passenger Capacity	5	5	5	5
First Row (Head/shoulder/legroom)	39.1/ 58.5/ 41.5	38.3/ 57.7/ 42.1	39.5/ 58.3/ 42.3	40/ 57.9/ 46.1
Second Row (Head/shoulder/legroom)	37.5/ 57.1/ 38.1	38/ 55.7/ 38	37.3/ 56.5/ 40.4	38.4/ 56.4/ 37.8
Cargo Capacity to the second row(cu.-ft)	15.7	15.1	16.7	16

The 2023 Malibu will offer a decent amount of interior space though not the spacious as its competitor. It has better shoulder room compared to others. The Hyundai Sonata offers the best headroom and legroom in the front seat. whereas, the second-row space is better on the Honda Accord. The Honda Accord offers the highest cargo capacity at 16.7 cu-ft followed by Hyundai Sonata, Malibu, and the Camry. The Malibu’s overall interior design, space utilization, and convenience features are not a letdown.

Chevrolet’s Infotainment 3 System is already one of the most snappy and easy-to-understand in the segment. The 8-inch touchscreen will remain the standard entertainment and be integrated with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity. The SiriusXM satellite radio with 3-month complimentary subscription, will be offered with the LT and 2LT trims. A USB port aids connectivity while a 6-speaker sound system plays all your favorite tunes for you. A 9-speaker Bose premium audio system should be offered with the 2LT trim.

Some of the key interior and infotainment features available with the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu are:

Keyless open and start
8-inch infotainment system
Temperature display
Manual tilt and telescopic steering column
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Voice commands
Type-C USB ports
Sirius XM satellite radio

Exterior
6.0/10

The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu wears clean, conservative lines- The Car Connection

Chevrolet is going to discontinue the Malibu soon. So, it’s obvious that the midsize sedan won’t receive exterior design and dimension updates for the 2023 model year. The sleek headlamps and visually appealing front chrome grille with a horizontal bow-tie emblem on it will continue to mark Malibu’s identity. Just like the outgoing model, the Chevrolet bowtie emblem will be offered in black with the RS trim. The RS trim also features many blacked-out exterior elements and RS badging for a more sportier styling.

The 2023 Chevy Malibu will continue to feature two character lines. The wheel sizes will vary from 16-inch to 19-inch. The lower trims will run on smaller wheels, while the LT and 2LT trims will ride on larger rims. The LED tail lights will add to its distinctive appearance. We expect that Chevrolet will not make any changes to the color palette. The different shades like Summit White, Silver Ice Metallic, Dark Ash Metallic, Mineral Gray Metallic, Cherry Red Tintcoat, Northsky Blue Metallic and Mosaic Black Metallic. However, the color options will depend on the trim configuration.

Model	2023 Chevrolet Malibu	2022 Toyota Camry	2022 Honda Accord	2022 Hyundai Sonata
Curb Weight (lbs)	3,135 lbs	3,310 lbs	3,150 lbs	3,120 lbs
Length (in.)	194.2	192.1	196.1	192.9
Width (in.)	73	72.4	73.3	73.2
Height (in.)	57.9	56.9	57.1	56.9
Ground Clearance (in.)	4.6	5.7	5.8	5.3
Wheelbase (in.)	111.4	111.2	111.4	111.8

Each of the cars in this segment has a visually pleasing design and there is nothing to complain regarding the designs of all the cars, But we believe the designs have all quite aged very well and a makeover is due soon. The Toyota Camry is the heaviest with a curb weight of 3310 lbs and has the better ground clearance among the four with a height of 5.7 inches. The longest would be the Honda Accord at 196.1 inches. The Malibu is taller compared to its competitors at 57.9 inches of height.

Some standout exterior features of the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu include:

Body-color door handles
Daytime running lights
Capless fuel filler
LED headlamps and tail lamps (2LT)
Body color antennas
Solar absorbing and acoustic laminated windshields.
Dual pane sunroof

Safety
4.0/10

The 2023 Malibu has a host of safety features as standard and other enhanced safety features can be added for an additional cost. The 2022 model has performed well in the NHTSA crash test ratings securing an overall score of 4 stars. The frontal crash test overall rating is 5 stars, side impact overall is 4 stars. The only worrisome aspect is the rear passenger side-impact crash tests which have only a rating of 3 stars.

We believe that the 2023 variant will follow these crash test ratings but an improvement is very much welcome. With the Driver Confidence packages, different driver-assistance features improve the safety significantly. Some of the included features like adaptive cruise control, automatic parking assist, forward collision alert, and following distance indicator are helpful while driving.

Some of the key safety features of the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu include:

Automatic emergency braking
Enhanced automatic emergency braking
Following distance indicator
Forward collision alert
Front pedestrian braking
Lane change alert with side blind zone alerts
Rear park assist.

Competition
8.0/10

2023 Chevrolet Malibu vs 2022 Honda Accord

The 2022 Honda Accord's performance is the best in this segment. The Japanese engine is aggressive and provides good acceleration and sportier performance. Even on the fuel economy front Honda scores well compared to the Chevrolet. The only upside for Malibu, when compared with the Honda Accord, is the price. The Malibu is the more affordable option among the two.

2023 Chevrolet Malibu vs 2022 Toyota Camry

The story again is similar when it comes to the 2022 Toyota Camry. In terms of performance Malibu again falls short of the Camry. The Toyota Camry has better performance figures and is the most reliable option in this segment. Malibu scores slightly well on the interior and fuel economy aspects and is priced lesser than the Camry and is the affordable option among the two. However, taking into consideration the reliability of Toyota, Camry could be the better option.

2023 Chevrolet Malibu vs 2022 Hyundai Sonata

The competition is neck to neck between the 2022 Hyundai Sonata. The Chevrolet Malibu’s performance is almost on par with the Korean sedan. It also offers similar fuel economy and both the models have the latest technologies. The Chevrolet Malibu again is priced cheaper than the Hyundai Sonata making it the more affordable option out of the two.

Final Verdict
8.5/10

Coming to the big questionshould you buy the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu? The answer would depend on your needs but we wouldn’t recommend the Chevrolet Malibu over its capable competition. The competition, even though priced a bit higher, offers better value for money propositions. On the performance front, the Chevrolet Malibu lags behind considerably. Technologically again, it is not up to the competition. The only aspect where it shines is the fuel economy front. The Malibu passing through its 10th generation has aged and is unable to keep up with the competition. The company has plans to bid farewell to Malibu and the sedan is expected to be retired by 2024. We would suggest the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu only if you are tight on your budget and can’t spare any additional dollars.

It's a Wonderful car get you from point A to point B

Pros - ["I love the color of my car the ease of it how it moves and how fast it is", "The seats are very comfortable the car is very luxurable", "The body of the car is beautiful it looks like a work of art and I call my car Harmony because she looks like one"]

Cons - ["I don't like that the equipment on the car cost more one the steering wheel is not on fluid it is electric", "The battery only lasts up to 2 years and when you buy it they give you a 2-year battery and it dies Within 2 years that you've only had the battery which is crazy", "And the battery cost an arm and a leg everything else in this car cost so arm and a leg to afford on maintenance alone"]

The mpg are really good the performance of the car is excellent the interior last not too long but it's still good the exterior is marvelous just need a wax every other week and everything else with the safety of the car is perfect to talk shape
