2016 Chevrolet Malibu LT 1LT

The 2016 Malibu is Chevrolet's mid-size sedan, a direct rival to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. It rides smooth and quiet, with a soft float that suits highway cruising, though it's not the sportiest in its class. The cabin is roomy up front with a large trunk, but rear legroom can be tight for taller passengers. Standard tech includes a touchscreen with Bluetooth and available features like heated seats and remote start. A bigger touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, and the 8-way power driver seat set the LT 1LT apart from the base L and LS trims. The 1.5L I4 makes 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic to the front wheels, and returns 31 mpg combined. Rear Park Assist and Teen Driver technology are standard here, a pair of features you won't find on lower trims.
