This 2012 Chevrolet Malibu LS Sedan delivers a well-rounded driving experience that blends comfort, efficiency, and proven Chevrolet engineering. Finished in Mocha Steel Metallic with a refined Cocoa/Cashmere interior, this Malibu presents a timeless exterior paired with a thoughtfully designed cabin, making it an excellent choice for daily commuting or long highway drives.
Under the hood, the Malibu LS is powered by a reliable ECOTEC 2.4L DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine featuring Variable Valve Timing (VVT). This engine is paired with a smooth-shifting electronic 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, delivering responsive acceleration while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency. With an EPA-estimated 22 MPG city and 33 MPG highway, this sedan is designed to keep fuel costs low without sacrificing performance. The front-wheel-drive platform provides confident handling and stability in a variety of driving conditions.
Safety is a key strength of this Malibu LS, equipped with Stabili Trak electronic stability control with traction control and brake assist, helping enhance control during sudden maneuvers. Multiple airbags, including dual-stage frontal airbags, thorax side-impact airbags, and full-length head curtain airbags, provide comprehensive protection for both front and rear occupants. Additional safety features include tire pressure monitoring, rear child safety door locks, LATCH child seat anchors, and a trunk emergency release handle, offering peace of mind for families and everyday drivers alike.
Inside the cabin, the Malibu LS offers a comfortable and driver-focused environment. Custom cloth front bucket seats provide supportive seating, while the driver power height adjuster and power lumbar control allow for personalized comfort. The 60/40 split-folding rear seatback adds flexibility for carrying longer cargo while still accommodating passengers. Convenience features include power windows with driver express-down, power trunk release, tilt and telescopic steering column, and a floor console with sliding armrest and dual storage compartments.
Technology and connectivity are well covered with an AM/FM stereo with CD player, complemented by SiriusXM satellite radio capability. The Driver Information Center displays key vehicle data such as outside temperature, trip information, and customizable alerts, keeping important information easily accessible. Additional interior touches include front and rear cup holders, carpeted floor mats, front reading lights, and covered vanity mirrors, enhancing everyday usability.
Exterior features further elevate the Malibu's appeal. 17-inch fascia-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in touring black wall tires give the sedan a confident stance, while halogen composite headlamps with automatic exterior lamp control improve nighttime visibility. Solar-Ray light-tinted glass, acoustic laminated glass, and bright window trim contribute to both style and cabin quietness. Power-adjustable exterior mirrors and body-color moldings complete the clean, cohesive look.
With its strong list of added features, dependable powertrain, advanced safety systems, and comfortable interior, this 2012 Chevrolet Malibu LS stands out as a practical and value-driven midsize sedan. Its an ideal option for drivers seeking efficiency, comfort, and everyday reliability in a well-equipped package.

Nice looking car
By Alpha Phi Alpha '06 Brother | on Wednesday, August 22, 2012
I bought my wife a brand new 2009 Malibu. I must admit it's one of the best looking cars around. The car looks like a Benz or BMW. Overall I like this car, its dependable and runs very well. It's good on gas. The only bad thing is I'm 6'3'' tall weigh 205 and the steering wheel doesn't adjust upward enough for me to slide my knees under it. With the seats pushed all the way back and reclined all the way back I can still drive the car with my knees. Other then that I really have enjoyed this car. Also the engine strains when you drive over 60 mph other then that I would recommend this car to anyone who ask.… - 5.0
