The 2025 Chevy Malibu is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable sedan. To help drivers tailor this sporty vehicle to their needs, the Malibu is available in four trim levels. We bring you the lowdown on the LS, RS, 1LT, and 2LT to help you distinguish between them.
1. LS
We begin with the LS, the most affordable Malibu in the lineup, but one that doesn’t scrimp on style. The front fascia is dominated by a sleek black and chrome grille, complemented by automatic halogen headlights and daytime running lights. Chevy also gives its base model 16-inch aluminum wheels and body-colored mirrors.
The cabin is lined in premium cloth, including the six-way adjustable bucket seats at the front. Infotainment comes courtesy of a smart-looking eight-inch color touchscreen with voice recognition and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Bluetooth technology allows you to wirelessly connect your smart device and stream audio through the six-speaker sound system. Chevy also equips the LS with a good range of assistive technologies, including rear park assist, emergency braking, and lane departure warning.
2. RS
An exterior makeover transforms the RS into a more sporty-looking Malibu. Black badging and bowtie emblems now adorn the front and rear, and larger 18-inch wheels are added at the sides. The new rear spoiler is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and draws the eye towards the polished tips of the twin tailpipes. This trim also introduces a wrapped steering wheel and an eight-way power driver’s seat with an adjustable lumbar support.
3. 1LT
Based on the LS, the 1LT adds more creature comforts, such as daytime running lights, heated power mirrors, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Front occupants can enjoy instant warmth on cold days from their heated seats, and those seated in the back have somewhere to place their beverages thanks to the addition of a central armrest with integrated cup holders.
4. 2LT
Finally, we have the 2LT, the most luxurious Malibu in the lineup. Forward illumination is now provided by LED headlights as 19-inch wheels carry you smoothly over every surface. Ambient lighting allows you to set the mood inside the perforated leather-lined cabin. The front passenger now enjoys the convenience of a power-adjustable seat. Drivers can save their seat and mirror preferences with a new memory system.
The larger eight-inch instrument panel is configurable, letting drivers choose how they view data. An infotainment upgrade adds navigation to the touchscreen and introduces a nine-speaker Bose sound system.
