The 2020 Chevrolet Malibu LT for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2020 Chevrolet Malibu LT for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu LT, here are the facts that matter.

Before you sign for the Malibu

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

The numbers in plain words

The powertrain here is the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

It is rated 7.5 L/100 km combined: about 23 litres every 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $116.30 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles.

Living with the Malibu

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Malibu for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
