The Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-size car that was manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet from 1964 to 1983 and from 1997 to 2025. The Malibu began as a trim-level of the Chevrolet Chevelle, becoming its own model line in 1978. Originally a rear-wheel drive intermediate, GM revived the Malibu nameplate as a front-wheel-drive car in 1997.[2]
Named after the coastal community of Malibu, California, the Malibu is marketed primarily in North America, with the eighth generation introduced globally. The Malibu is the last sedan sold by Chevrolet in the U.S.[3]
Malibu production in the US ended in November 2024, as the Fairfax plant is being retooled for the upcoming second generation Chevrolet Bolt.[4]
