2024 Chevrolet Malibu RS

The 2024 Chevrolet Malibu is a midsize sedan that slots below the larger Impala in Chevy's lineup, offering a comfortable commute for families and commuters. It competes with the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Nissan Altima, though it often undercuts them on price. The Malibu's ride is smooth and composed, with a quiet cabin that makes highway trips relaxing, though the engine can feel strained under hard acceleration. Inside, the Malibu offers a straightforward dashboard with available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the trunk is generous for a sedan. The RS adds 18-inch wheels, a black grille, and dark-tinted taillamps that give it a sportier look than the base LS. Its 1.5L I4 makes 160 horsepower and works with the CVT, so it's smooth in town but you'll want to plan ahead for merging. The RS's dual-outlet exhaust and bright tips are exclusive to this trim, and the 18-inch wheels tighten up the handling a bit.
