The Chevy Malibu is special for many reasons, one of them being that 2025 is its last year of production. For over 60 years, the Malibu has given families and city commuters an efficient and practical way to handle the demands of everyday life. As we prepare to say goodbye to this midsize family sedan, let’s look at five practical reasons why you should consider purchasing a 2025 Chevy Malibu.
5 Practical Reasons to Consider the 2025 Chevy Malibu
1. Efficient Engine
The 2025 Malibu continues to use a 1.5L turbocharged inline-four engine that generates 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The engine is matched with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that provides advantages in fuel efficiency. The EPA estimates the Malibu at 30 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway, making it one of the most efficient non-hybrid sedans in the segment.
2. Comfortable and Functional Cabin
The Malibu seats five. Seats are upholstered in either premium cloth or synthetic leather (depending on trim level), with an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and lumbar support in RS and higher. Heating is included in 1LT, while heating and ventilation comes standard in 2LT. The rear bench seat includes a center armrest with integrated cupholders and splits 60/40. In trims with dual-zone automatic climate control, rear passengers have their own HVAC vents.
3. Plenty of Cargo Space
The Malibu offers 15.7 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk, which is ample space for the daily essentials or occasional luggage with the rear seats folded down. There’s also a spare tire compartment under the trunk floor with tool storage. Trunk lighting is included in all trims for better visibility in the dark.
4. Modern Infotainment Tech
All trims feature an 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen with Chevrolet Infotainment 3 software. This system offers voice recognition, multi-device Bluetooth connectivity, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot is also included, allowing connection for up to seven devices at a single time. Upper trims come with an integrated navigation system, so you don’t have to rely on cell coverage or worry about your phone battery dying.
5. Intelligent Safety Systems
The 2025 Malibu comes with Chevy Safety Assist as standard equipment. This intelligent suite includes features such as Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, Front Pedestrian Braking, and IntelliBeam Automatic High Beams. Families with teenagers will love the integrated Teen Driver Technology, which allows parents to set speed limits and volume caps, and view driving metrics.
In a world full of superfluous frills, the 2025 Malibu brings refreshing practicality and usability to families everywhere. There’s little time to waste in getting your Malibu. Contact Maher Chevrolet in Petersburg, FL to get started.
