Do people still get Monty Python references? We’d bet the people who still buy sedans are more likely to. Chevrolet’s last sedan, the Malibu, is in fact the brand’s only remaining car that isn’t electric, a Camaro or a Corvette. It’s not giving up just yet. For buyers still interested in the low-slung shape of a traditional sedan, the 2024 Malibu now includes rear parking sensors — but only on nonfleet models, so if you rent a Malibu, don’t assume it’ll beep before the bumper crunches.

Trim Levels
All 2024 Malibus are powered by a 163-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine sending power to the front wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission.
The base LS trim rolls on 16-inch wheels and has a pretty basic interior, with manually adjustable front seats and a manual tilt/telescoping steering wheel. It also includes keyless entry, remote start (again, for nonfleet variants), power windows and locks, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Wi-Fi and six speakers. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, as well as lane departure steering assist.
As for higher trims, the RS gets 18-inch wheels, black exterior trim, a spoiler and a power driver’s seat. Step up to the 1LT and those seats are now heated, and there’s 17-inch wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, satellite radio and illuminated vanity mirrors. At the 2LT trim level, wheels stretch to 19 inches. The 2LT also includes leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, a power front passenger seat, navigation, ambient lighting, wireless phone charging and a nine-speaker Bose audio system.
