2022 Chevy Malibu Remains as Strong, Steady, and Independent Model for the Average Driver Craving Above-Average Performance



At the mere mention of the name “Malibu” here at West Chevy of Knoxville, any excited driver will think of images such as adrenaline-rich surfing, volleyball in the sun, and enjoying the hot sand of a beach. The 2022 Chevy Malibu stands incredibly strong as a beacon for dependability and versatility, and it still holds strong as an option for anyone needing a very practical and economical method of getting around daily. 

Now that the SUV seems to have been put on a bit of a pedestal as the ideal family vehicle, the Malibu remains resilient in many ways, and does not need the very commonplace bells and whistles to properly showcase its value. The base offering sees the model equipped with the turbocharged 1.5-Liter 4-Cylinder engine, and its 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque have a delightfully urban-ready performance quality and nature. The Premier edition is where the turbocharged 2.0-Liter 4-cylinder becomes available, with its 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, mated to a capable and buttery-smooth 9-speed automatic transmission. 

Chevy has uniquely outfitted the Malibu with numerous amenities to assure that the time you spend in the car is always comfortable, beginning with the awesome audio-rich benefits of a 6-speaker entertainment system with the option to step up to a premium Bose 9-speaker setup. There are 15 cubic feet of trunk space to properly accommodate numerous carry-ons, all at a price less than is flaunted from the competition.



Making sure that every new car owner gets to their destination safely has always been priority number one with us here at West Chevy, and therefore we believe that the 2022 Malibu is one of the best values out there. During NHTSA testing, the Malibu received a 4-star overall safety rating. Some of its very valuable safety features include a rear vision camera, a tire pressure monitoring system, and cruise control that all come as standard. The Teen Driver program is also one of the best methods for assuring your younger drivers are where they are supposed to be and when: the “report cards” it issues give a detailed log of audio level, speed, and reliable GPS. 

Offering up dutiful efficiency, ideal fuel economy, and ideal safety to the average driver, the Malibu offers a strong sense of feature and technology-rich driving at a very reasonable price. The LT Trim is where we’d recommend the best experience of the Malibu: it comes standard with 17-inch wheels, LED tail lights, an acoustically laminated windshield, remote engine start, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine managed a respectable 34 mpg during a 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, proving yet another economic advantage during a time when being frugal can greatly aid any family!
