2021 Chevrolet Malibu Performance and Engine

1.5L Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. This combination is tuned for efficiency and smooth everyday performance — ideal for commuting through Hobart, cruising along I-65, or making longer trips across Northwest Indiana.

The turbocharged setup gives the Malibu more low-end pull than a naturally aspirated engine of similar displacement, making it feel responsive in stop-and-go traffic and at highway speeds alike. The CVT keeps the engine in its power band efficiently, which contributes to the Malibu's strong fuel economy ratings — a real advantage for high-mileage daily drivers who are watching the pump.

Chevrolet Malibu RS Features and Interior

What the RS Trim Adds

The RS trim is Chevrolet's sport-appearance package for the Malibu lineup, and it brings a distinctly more aggressive look compared to the base LS. Expect blacked-out exterior accents, a sport grille, RS badging, and 18-inch wheels that give this sedan genuine curb appeal.

Inside, the 2021 Malibu RS offers a comfortable, driver-focused cabin with available features like an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a rear vision camera, Teen Driver technology, and available wireless charging. Seating is comfortable for five, and the Malibu's cabin insulation keeps road noise at bay on longer drives — a feature owners frequently praise.

Chevrolet Malibu Reliability and Ownership

The Malibu has earned a reputation as one of the more dependable American midsize sedans of its generation. The 2021 model year benefits from years of refinement, and the 1.5L turbocharged engine — while occasionally the subject of oil consumption concerns on higher-mileage examples — is generally well-regarded when properly maintained.

Owners consistently report that Malibus hold up well past the 100,000-mile mark when oil changes and scheduled service are kept current. Common maintenance items to stay ahead of at this mileage include spark plugs, air filters, and brake fluid. If you're buying used, the Malibu is a model where a clean service history goes a long way — and it's worth asking Eagle Motorsport for the vehicle history report on this one.
