About Chevrolet Malibu
The Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-size car that Chevrolet produced and marketed from 1964 to 1983, and again since 1997. The Chevrolet Malibu began as a trim level of the Chevelle before becoming its own model line in 1978. Originally a rear-wheel-drive intermediate, GM resurrected the Malibu nameplate in February 1997 as a front-wheel-drive vehicle.
The Malibu, named after the coastal community of Malibu, California, was primarily marketed in North America, with the eighth generation introduced globally. With the departure of the compact Cruze in March 2019, the full-size Impala in March 2020, and the subcompact Sonic in October 2020, the Malibu is currently Chevrolet’s only sedan available in the United States. It will be phased out at the end of the 2025 model year.
