Chevrolet offers a range of sedans from the small Sonic to the large Impala. The Malibu offers a little more legroom and power than the Cruze. The Malibu LS, LT and LTZ include a standard 2.5l four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed automatic. A more powerful 2.0l turbocharged four-cylinder is available on LT and LTZ trim levels. The Malibu is a well-priced and competent vehicle in a fiercely competitive segment of the market.
