The 2009 Malibu is offered in several well-equipped trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ -- all with standard head curtain side airbags and front-seat thorax airbags, as well as available convenience features including remote vehicle starting.

The 2.4L engine is rated at 169 horsepower. With its strong stance and bold proportions, the Malibu has a profile that reinforces its substantial feel. Clean, pure lines and wheels pushed to the corners, as well as a visually lower, yet longer, greenhouse and a shorter deck suggest motion, agility and attitude.

An ergonomic design using premium materials conveys quality and value. The integrated, flowing instrument panel features a Chevrolet-signature dual-cockpit design, with prominent gauges backlit in blue, and metallic or wood grain accents.

Malibu's strong structure serves as the foundation for an exceptionally quiet environment. Along with the robust chassis, which minimizes vibration and noise, the body construction uses noise-reducing materials, such as liquid spray-on sound deadener, laminated steel and composite wheel liners, to deliver one the segment's quietest, most refined driving experiences.

A family of 17- and 18-inch wheels is offered with Malibu, all tailored with a tight wheel-to-body relationship.
