Power and Performance
All 2025 Malibu trims share the same efficient setup:
- 1.5-liter Turbo I-4 | 163 horsepower | 184 lb-ft of torque
- Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
This combination delivers confident passing power and smooth acceleration while maintaining impressive efficiency — an EPA-estimated 28 MPG city / 36 MPG highway. Its lightweight design and refined suspension help the Malibu glide comfortably across highways and backroads alike.
Did you know? According to Car and Driver, the 2025 Malibu continues to stand out for its composed ride, quiet interior, and value-focused design — even as Chevrolet prepares to conclude production.*
