The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu Premier: before you buy

Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 71 owner complaints on file, mostly about back over prevention, unknown or other and engine. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

What the figures tell you

Under the hood: the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Rated at 7.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 23 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km weekend costs about $36.27 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Malibu makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Inside and out

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Malibu answers more than any brochure. Rent the Malibu for a week and see how it fits your life.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
