Chevrolet Malibu Specs, Engines & Dimensions (from 2018)

Chevrolet Malibu Engines and Transmissions

Each Chevrolet Malibu engine here drives the front wheels, so traction and packaging stay predictable. The 1.5 CVT pairs a gasoline unit with a variable transmission for smooth, unhurried town driving, while the 1.8 AT hybrid powertrain adds electric assistance and an automatic gearbox, favouring low consumption in stop-start traffic.

Chevrolet Malibu Trims and Equipment

Chevrolet Malibu trim levels sit on top of the mechanical version rather than changing it. The 1.5 CVT, for example, appears as LT Plus and LTZ: the same engine and drivetrain, but differing comfort, convenience and safety equipment. Checking the specific car's list matters more than the badge alone.
