Chevrolet Malibu Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2008–2012)

Chevrolet Malibu Engines and Transmissions

Each Chevrolet Malibu engine here drives the front wheels through an automatic transmission, so there is no manual to learn and no all-wheel-drive complexity. The 2.4 AT pairs a four-cylinder with hybrid assistance for calmer city economy, while the 3.5 AT gasoline V6 trades some frugality for stronger, quieter acceleration on the highway.

Chevrolet Malibu Trims and Equipment

Chevrolet Malibu trim levels sit on top of a technical version rather than changing it: the 3.5 AT sedan was offered as LT and Luxury, sharing the same mechanicals but differing in comfort and convenience content. When comparing used cars, check the actual equipment fitted, since options and later additions vary between individual examples.
