The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu is now available at Brad Deery Motors, which is the local Chevrolet dealer serving Quad Cities Davenport Dubuque Maquoketa Iowa. While the modern Chevrolet lineup continues to emphasize crossovers, the Malibu is a four-door midsize sedan that keeps on selling well because it delivers an excellent value proposition while also being stylish and fun to drive.
The current model continues the ninth Malibu generation that was introduced for the 2016 model year. While there aren’t any major changes, Chevrolet has updated the trim selection and added more standard equipment and optional features across the board.
One of the notable changes for the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu near Quad Cities is that Chevrolet now offers a single powertrain across the lineup. It is a fuel-efficient turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet pairs it with a continuously variable transmission, and that CVT sends power to the front wheels.
The 2023 Chevrolet Malibu comes standard with a suite of advanced driver assists, including an 8-inch touch screen, a rearview camera, automatic headlamps and high beams, automatic emergency braking and lane departure mitigation. A Driver Confidence package adds rear parking sensors and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and a Driver Confidence and Cruise package adds adaptive cruise control, semi-automated parking and automatic braking that operates at higher speeds.
Keyless entry, push-button ignition and remote engine start are all included as standard equipment and without a subscription or anything like that. These features are among the reasons that the Malibu is the best base model in the class. A 120-volt power outlet is also included with the 2LT trim level. The only other notable mechanical option is an engine block heater, which does make the Malibu easier to start during cold weather.
There are four core trim levels available for the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu near Quad Cities at Brad Deery Motors. The LS is the most affordable option and well equipped at the price point. The RS is similar but has a sport sedan aesthetic inside and out, and the LT adds to that with many amenities, including zoned automatic climate control and heated front seats. The Premier trim level has been retired and replaced with the 2LT, and it provides the Malibu with an upscale interior and exterior design.
When you select the base Malibu, there are six colors available through Brad Deery Motors, and they are all included in the MSRP: Dark Ash Metallic, Mineral Gray Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Riverside Blue Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic and Summit White. With the RS, LT and 2LT, you also have the option of Radiant Red Tintcoat as a premium color.
