The 2025 Chevrolet Malibu is a midsize sedan with wide-ranging appeal, suited for various drivers. Whether you need an efficient car for daily commutes, a spacious option for a small family, or a comfortable vehicle for road trips, the Malibu checks all the boxes. With a starting MSRP of just $25,800, it’s an affordable choice for those looking for cars for sale in Lake Wales, without breaking the bank.
For those who want to upgrade, higher trims offer added style, comfort, and convenience. But if you’re prioritizing affordability, you might wonder what comes standard with the base LS trim.
Dyer Chevrolet Lake Wales is excited to highlight ten practical features that come standard with the entry-level 2025 Malibu, delivering a premium driving experience at an affordable price.
1. Rear Park Assist
Like many modern vehicles, the 2025 Malibu includes an array of standard safety features through the Chevy Safety Assist suite. This includes Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, IntelliBeam High Beam Assist, and an HD Rear Vision Camera.
In addition to these, the Malibu also includes Rear Park Assist. This feature uses sensors to detect objects or vehicles behind you while reversing and provides alerts to help avoid collisions. Paired with the rear-view camera, it ensures you stay fully aware of your surroundings.
2. Teen Driver Mode
The Malibu offers plenty of family-friendly features, such as the LATCH system for securing car seats and a rear-seat reminder. However, it also includes a unique feature for when your kids start driving themselves: Teen Driver Mode. This tool helps you monitor your young driver’s progress via an in-vehicle report card and ensures certain safety features remain active while they’re driving. It’s peace of mind for parents with teens on the road.
3. Remote Start
Gone are the days when you had to insert a key into the ignition. The 2025 Malibu comes with keyless start, meaning you don’t even need to take your key out of your pocket. It also features standard remote start, allowing you to start the car from a distance and adjust the temperature before you get in, ensuring the cabin is always comfortable when you’re ready to drive.
4. Wireless Connectivity
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have made it easier than ever to navigate, stay connected, and keep entertained on the go. With the Malibu’s wireless connectivity, you can seamlessly integrate your smartphone with the car’s interface, without even needing to plug it in. This feature allows for hands-free navigation, music streaming, and calls, with controls available right on the steering wheel.
5. Driver Information Center
The 2025 Malibu offers a user-friendly experience with two digital displays: an 8-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system and a driver information center. This second screen, positioned behind the steering wheel, provides essential vehicle information such as oil change reminders and tire pressure warnings, keeping critical info right in your line of sight.
6. Bluetooth Streaming for Two Devices
Bluetooth is a standard feature on the Malibu, but it takes convenience a step further by allowing two devices to connect simultaneously. This is great for when you’re driving with a partner and want to avoid interruptions when either of you gets a call or wants to play music.
7. Capless Fuel Fill
With the Malibu’s capless fuel system, you won’t have to worry about losing or damaging your fuel cap. This feature eliminates the need for a traditional cap, reducing the risk of fuel evaporation and helping to protect your vehicle’s paint from scratches, all while keeping things simple at the pump.
8. Electronic Stability Control
Staying in control is crucial, especially in challenging conditions. The 2025 Malibu is equipped with StabiliTrak, a stability control system that helps maintain control during emergency situations by adjusting the brakes and engine torque. Traction control also comes into play, preventing wheel slippage and ensuring smooth handling on slippery roads.
9. Electronic Grade Braking
Driving downhill can put extra stress on your brakes if you’re not careful. The Malibu’s electronic grade braking system helps manage your speed without the need to ride the brakes, making it easier to maintain a steady pace on steep declines while reducing wear on your braking system.
10. Efficient Powertrain
The Malibu comes equipped with the same fuel-efficient engine across all trims—a 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that generates 163 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This engine strikes a perfect balance between power and fuel economy, ensuring a smooth, worry-free driving experience.
With an impressive 28 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway, the Malibu offers an estimated 31 MPG combined. This allows you to travel up to 490 miles on a single tank of gas, making it ideal for everything from daily errands to long road trips.
