2019 Chevrolet Malibu Review
With handsome sheet metal and sporty styling, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu isn’t your average sedan. This mid-size car has seen a midcycle refresh for 2019, and here at Walker Chevy, we’re excited to give Huntington and Hurricane drivers a close look.
Can you imagine cruising the streets of Nitro and Charleston inside your very own Chevy Malibu? When you read this 2019 Chevrolet Malibu review, you’ll get a sense of how this car stands out in a highly competitive segment. To get started, let’s take a look at the Malibu’s suave exterior!
Chevy Malibu Exterior Design
The 2019 Malibu sets a new standard for style, and it’s evident from the newly aggressive front end. The Chevy team has restyled the grille, giving it a larger, more imposing look, with slats that dip in the middle. Plus, the fog lights take on a more angular form than ever before.
The hood is as chiseled as ever, with many character lines running downward toward the front fascia. In fact, its clamshell design wouldn’t look out of place half-buried in the sands of Malibu’s beaches! A range of new wheel designs, up to 19 inches in diameter, help this car really “pop” on the roads.
There are plenty of exciting color options for this car, from Cajun Red Tintcoat to Summit White, but none so iconic as Pacific Blue Metallic—it exudes the laid-back feel of a cruise down the Pacific Coast Highway!
Chevy Malibu Performance
As you imagine yourself cruising toward your Malibu beach house in a sleek new Chevy Malibu, you’ll have all the engine power to complete the mental picture. With an available 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine, you can see up to 250 horsepower for a lively drive.
If you want to maximize efficiency on your next road trip, the standard powertrain is an excellent option. The base 160-horsepower 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine now pairs with a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) for efficient transitions. In fact, you’ll see up to an EPA-estimated 29 city/36 highway MPG with this combination.
Choose the hybrid powertrain for even more impressive figures. The Malibu Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 49 city/43 highway MPG, adding incredible fuel economy to your smooth and athletic cruiser!
Chevy Malibu Technology Features
Connectivity is easy to come by in the 2019 Malibu. The all-new Chevrolet Infotainment 3 multimedia system comes standard on every trim level, complete with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. With these features, you can use all your favorite music, map, and messaging apps on the go.
The 8-inch touchscreen is a triumph of minimalism and modern design. Sleek and tablet-like, it’s set cleanly into the dashboard, never feeling too busy. Physical knobs and buttons for audio volume/tuning and climate controls make the system easy to use.
Want to let the sun shine in on your adventures? An available power moonroof makes that possible. You can reinvigorate your ride with fresh air, natural light, and relaxed vibes!
