Trim Levels of the 2024 Chevy Malibu

Family sedans don’t come more practical and stylish than the 2024 Chevy Malibu. However, with more than one Malibu to choose from, deciding which one will best suit your needs is tough. We delve into the details of the four trim levels to help make the decision a little easier.

Trim Levels of the 2024 Chevy Malibu

1. LS

Although the most affordable in the lineup, the LS doesn’t scrimp on desirable features. It’s powered by the same 163-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbo engine that drives the entire range. The Malibu’s exquisite design is a sight to behold, with the LS boasting 16-inch aluminum wheels, body-colored mirrors, daytime running lamps, and automatic halogen headlamps that perfectly illuminate the road ahead.

The spacious interior features an easy-to-use infotainment system, consisting of an eight-inch diagonal touchscreen with smartphone compatibility and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Chevy also equips the LS with a comprehensive collection of driver-assist technologies, including a rearview camera, rear park assist, auto emergency braking, and a following distance indicator.

2. RS

Black badging and emblems, 18-inch wheels, and a black grille with chrome surround give the RS a sportier appearance. This trim also enhances driver comfort by giving them a wrapped steering wheel and an eight-way power-adjustable seat with power lumbar.

3. 1LT

Although the 1LT loses the sporty design elements of the RS, it ups the ante by introducing more upmarket features, such as heated power side mirrors and LED lighting, including headlights, taillights, and daytime running lamps. Heated front seats deliver warmth at the touch of a button and dual-zone automatic climate control ensures all occupants enjoy a comfortable cabin.

4. 2LT

Heading the pack is the 2LT, the most luxurious Malibu to grace the streets of Reno. The perforated leather upholstery makes the interior feel more plush and sophisticated. Front occupants now have ventilated seats, with the passengers becoming six-way power-adjustable. Drivers gain a heated steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and a memory function to save their mirror and seat preferences. They also receive a larger eight-inch diagonal display for viewing vehicle information and warning messages.

An infotainment upgrade sees the addition of a navigation system, a wireless charging pad, and a Bose sound system with nine speakers.
