Discover the Trim Levels of the 2025 Chevy Malibu: Sophistication on Wheels

LS

The LS is the lineup’s base trim, and it’s powered by the same 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine that’s found on all other Malibu variants. A healthy output of 163 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque is distributed to the drive wheels through a continuously variable transmission. Maneuvering through tight turns and curvy roads is a breeze thanks to the standard MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension.

While this trim’s exterior features stylish 16-inch wheels and automatic IntelliBeam high beam headlights, its interior sports premium cloth upholstery and supportive front bucket seats. Users can access wireless smartphone integration and mobile Wi-Fi hotspot through the 8-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 touchscreen found atop the dashboard.

RS

Larger, more aggressive 18-inch aluminum wheels, a rear spoiler, and a black front grille with chrome surround combine to give the RS an especially racy appearance. Black Chevy bowtie emblems and a dual-outlet exhaust system further set it apart. The addition of an 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support and a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel contributes to an even more satisfying driving experience.

1LT

Externally, 1LT models can be identified by their 17-inch aluminum wheels and LED daytime running lamps. There’s no need to worry about ice or fog obscuring the power side mirrors since they come standard with heating. Also coming in handy during harsh weather are the 1LT’s standard dual-zone automatic climate control system and heated front seats.

Do you find yourself preferring the enhanced comfort that the 1LT offers, but desiring the edgier looks of the RS? You’ll definitely want to opt for the available Sport Edition package, which includes the black badging and blacked-out front grille introduced to the lineup by the latter. The package has 19-inch wheels in a black finish, as well.

2LT

Standardly equipped with 19-inch wheels and LED headlights and taillights, this top-spec trim boasts a slew of premium features for a great price. Its front seats have power adjustability, heating, and ventilation, plus perforated leather upholstery adds a touch of luxury. A standard driver memory system stores the driver’s seat and side mirror position settings for two people, making it a snap to switch driving duties with another person during long trips.

Compelling technologies like a wireless charging station and connected navigation bring greater convenience. Drivers who love to blast their favorite tunes while they cruise around town will love that the 2LT gets a powerful 9-speaker Bose sound system.
