What's New For the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu?

The 2020 follow-up masters the blueprint perfectly, adding features that enhance the quality and doing away with a few features that needed re-working. The result is the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu, a testament to the power of the midsize class. It's stylish. Dress your Malibu in alluring colors like Mosaic Black Metallic for a sophisticated, entrepreneur-type style. Maybe the glacial appearance of Summit White is more your style. Are you feeling festive? Go with Cajun red tintcoat. Your paint will go over one of the Malibu's most adventurous and sporty exterior designs.

2020 Malibu Trims & Features

The trim lineup for 2020 is L, LS, RS, LT, and Premier. Even the base model is going to shock you this year with its 8" diagonal color touch-screen display and standard air filter for the cabin. Higher trims like the RS have a standard 8-way power driver seat and keyless start. Advanced features are to be found everywhere on these trims:

    
• Available Perforated leather-appointed seat trim (Premier)
    
• Leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel (Premier)
    
• Premium Cloth front bucket seats on the L and RS
    
• Steering-wheel mounted controls
    
• 19" aluminum wheels (Premier)
    
• Acoustic laminated glass (RS, LT, Premier)
    
• Bose 9-speaker Premium Audio System

The question isn't what can you do with your Malibu in 2020. It's what can't you do? All of the modern amenities are tidily organized inside a quiet, gentle cabin that provides all the comforts of home, even a universal tablet holder and 4G WIFI connectivity. All that's left to do is pick out the trim that suits your style.

2020 Chevy Malibu Horsepower

A 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine is available on base model and lower trims for a 160 horsepower experience. If that's not enough power for you, focus your gaze on the 250 horsepower 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine, providing 260 lbs-ft of torque. It sounds like Chevy wants Malibu owners to rev up their engines in 2020, and it's going to be easy to control all the power thanks to the shift-changing wizardry of the 9-speed automatic transmission.

2020 Malibu Safety

They start you off with the efficient advanced ten airbag system that has a passenger sensing feature to make sure that airbags deploy at the right spots at the right time. Electronic Grade Braking makes sure that speed is steady on downhill journeys. Hard braking driver-assist features like Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking allow the vehicle to mitigate situations where a collision is imminent, applying hard braking even if you forget to. These safety features are something that Chevy is proud to equip their Malibu with. They know that even an elegant, sporty creature like the Malibu can encounter dangerous road conditions or driver attention lapses. They've given you the tools you need to stay safe even when the weather conditions are adverse, or the road gets rocky. That's how Chevrolet keeps its customers. They keep them safe.
