We deducted points for the occasionally clumsy transmission that can be sluggish and prone to odd lurches when slowing to a stop. We found the 1.5 liter base engine to be a little weak by comparison and upgrading to the hybrid shouldn't break the bank. We also suggest adding the optional convenience and technology package.

It has a good mix of features, performance, and efficiency. Among the four trim levels and three power trains, we recommend the Malibu Hybrid LTE. Would love to know what's actually wrong with all these cars that is having this same problem and would love GM to acknowledge our issuesīRYN MACKINNON: I'm Edmond's Editor Bryn MacKinnon, and here's a features rundown of the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu. It's not lawn mower engine as one would think, it literally drops out as no gas is being sent to the engine. When you can't accelerate your vehicle on a merge Lane into a highway which I have to do to get to work daily.that's a major hazard. No warning lights to indicate a problem so all we get is we can't duplicate your concern and there's no lights to tell us something is wrong. Apparently we are not the only ones having the acceleration issue on this vehicle. The technology on this car is a FAR step back from the 15. … Have had it just under 5 months and it's at the dealer for mechanical issues. NO ISSUES!!! 18' worst decision I've ever made. no issues 80k miles when I had to give it back (lease). Had it about 8 years drove it into the ground but never had one problem with that car till the end. The Premier Sun and Wheel package adds a dual-pane power sunroof, 19-inch wheels and upgraded floor mats.

A rearview camera, 16-inch aluminum wheels, and a Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility are all notable upgrades. The minor price hike to the LS trim adds quite a bit of equipment.
