2019 Chevrolet Malibu RS

The 2019 Malibu is Chevrolet's mid-size sedan, the one you cross-shop against the Camry and Accord. It's a comfortable cruiser that soaks up highway miles, though it's not the quickest in its class. The cabin is roomy front and back, with a trunk that's bigger than you'd expect from a sedan this size. Blacked-out grille and rear spoiler distinguish the RS from the LT and Premier trims, giving it a sportier look without any performance upgrades. The 1.5L I4 makes 160 horsepower and pairs with a automatic transmission driving the front wheels, which is adequate for daily driving but won't win any stoplight races. The RS rides on 18-inch wheels that sharpen the steering feel a bit, though the trade-off is a firmer ride over rough pavement.
