When you’re in the market for a stylish, practical, and reliable sedan, you should seriously consider the 2025 Chevy Malibu. We delve into the details of the four Malibu trim levels to help you identify which one will best suit your needs.

1. LS
We begin with the budget-friendly LS, which is driven by the same 163-horsepower turbo 1.5-liter engine as the rest of the Malibu lineup. This smart-looking sedan demands attention from first glance, with the LS boasting a bold black and chrome grille, automatic halogen headlights, daytime running lamps, and 16-inch aluminum wheels.
Chevy’s use of premium materials gives the interior a luxurious feel. Comfortable six-way adjustable bucket seats are installed at the front. Infotainment is delivered by a diagonal eight-inch touchscreen with an easy-to-use interface. Bluetooth technology allows you to wirelessly connect your smartphone and stream your favorite tunes through the six-speaker sound system. Wi-Fi hotspot capability means you can turn your LS into a connectivity hub for you and your passengers.
Standard Safety Technologies
Every Malibu, including the LS, comes with an excellent suite of driver-assist technologies designed to enhance safety. Standard features include a following distance indicator, lane keeping, forward collision alert, and front pedestrian braking. Drivers also receive help with parking and backing up from a rearview camera and rear park assist.
2. RS
A rear spoiler, 18-inch wheels, black badging, and twin tailpipes with polished tips make the RS the sportiest Malibu in the lineup. A comfort boost sees drivers receive an eight-way adjustable power seat with an adjustable lumbar support.
3. 1LT
Although the 1LT doesn’t look as sporty as the RS, it adds more desirable and convenient features, such as heated power side mirrors and LED daytime running lamps. The temperature inside the cabin is now regulated by dual-zone climate control, and front passengers can enjoy instant warmth during colder months with their heated seats.
4. 2LT
If you want a Malibu with all the added extras, opt for the 2LT. LED headlights and 19-inch wheels are added to the exterior, but it’s inside where you see the most upgrades. The front passenger seat is now power-adjustable, and drivers can save their seat and mirror preferences with a memory function.
The new eight-inch diagonal instrument cluster is fully configurable, while the shift knob and steering wheel are now wrapped in leather. An infotainment upgrade introduces an integrated navigation system and a nine-speaker Bose audio system.
