The 2024 Chevrolet Malibu LS also features a teen driver monitoring system and a Buckle to Drive feature to ensure safety. This trim can get up to 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.

Safety features are plentiful this year, and include forward collision warning, pedestrian detection and a rearview camera. Lane keeping assist and lane departure warning are standard as well. With features like a Teen Driver monitor system and rear seat alert, you can ensure your kids are safe whether they in the back seat or behind the wheel. Rear parking sensors now come standard on top of all that.

RS

The 2024 Chevrolet Malibu RS is a racing-inspired blacked-out trim. For $26,000, the Chevy Bowtie and badging around the car are converted to black. In addition, the front of the vehicle sports a black sport grille. The rear of the car gains a spoiler and has dual exhaust outlets. To complete the overall cosmetic look, the car rides on top of 18-inch bright machined-aluminum wheels.

LT

The 2024 Chevrolet Malibu LT starts at $28,100 and has a few additional features that make it more comfortable to drive. The best feature is the inclusion of heated seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. But remember, the standard seat offering on the Malibu LT is cloth, even with the addition of heating.

Other minor standard features include outside heated power-adjustable body-colored mirrors, a body-color antenna, and LED daytime running lamps.

2LT

Lastly, if you want all the premium features standard, the 2LT trim is for you. This replaces the Premier trim from last year. It starts at $31,500 and is worth every penny. Some of the highlighted features include perforated leather seats, six-way power-adjustable front seats, nine-speaker Bose audio, wireless charging and navigation. There’s also an 8-inch digital gauge cluster.
