With the 2025 Chevy Malibu being the final model of its kind, the best has certainly been saved for last. The final installment of the sedan is bulging with practical and luxury features that reaffirm it as one of Chevrolet’s most well-rounded models. Take a look at eight of the base trim’s best features before you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
1. Automatic Emergency Braking
When traveling between speeds of five and 50 MPH, the Chevy Malibu’s AEB sensors will detect potential collision hazards on the road ahead. Get too close, and the car will automatically brake, reducing the severity of the collision, or preventing it entirely.
2. Lane Keep Assist
If your Chevy Malibu believes that you are unintentionally drifting into another lane, it will flash up on your Driver Indication Center. Simultaneously, the wheel will nudge you back into place, helping to center the car in the middle of the lane.
3. Following Distance Indicator
The Malibu’s Following Distance Indicator provides the driver with the real-time distance from the front of your car to the rear of the car ahead. This will help you maintain a comfortable reaction time in case of sudden braking from the car in front.
4. IntelliBeam High Beam Assist
With the Malibu’s IntelliBeam feature, you’ll no longer have to worry about accidentally blinding oncoming traffic with your high beams. When you’re traveling at over 25 MPH, the car’s high beams will turn on and off depending on the traffic situation around you.
5. 8.0-Inch Infotainment System
Unlike in a lot of modern cars where the infotainment system spans the entirety of the dashboard, the Malibu contains a manageable 8.0-inch system. It’s large enough to select the right option with ease, but not large to the point where it feels overwhelming.
6. Speed-Sensitive Volume Control
When you hit a certain speed, the sound of both the engine and the road will often drown out the sound of the entertainment system. Instead of having to play around with the volume settings throughout your journey, the Malibu’s speed-sensitive volume control will adjust audio levels accordingly.
7. Rear Camera
The Chevy Malibu comes with a rear camera as standard, so you’ll be able to reverse comfortably into parking bays. The Rear Park Assist features will also let out beeps to prevent you from backing into other cars, bollards, or walls.
8. Teen Driver Technology
It’s no secret that teens can have a slightly cavalier attitude to driving, especially with friends in the car. Chevrolet’s Teen Driver Technology can help keep young drivers safe, setting maximum speed limitations and providing a detailed report card on their driving performance. The feature will also prevent the teen from driving the car if their seatbelt isn’t buckled.
With features designed around practicality and comfort, the Chevy Malibu remains an ideal choice for both families and individuals. Like the sound of what the Chevy Malibu has to offer? Contact Bob Stephen Motors in Manchester, IA today to schedule your test drive.
