2024 Chevrolet Malibu Base
Carivo independent review & score
Carivo independent review & score
The 2024 Chevrolet Malibu Base. Carivo rates it 7.5/10 — middle of the pack. It does enough right to be a reasonable choice, but the scores don’t make a compelling case for picking it over class leaders.
Safety leads at 8.1/10. Crash-test results and standard driver-assistance coverage push it ahead of most sedan rivals on occupant protection — a real differentiator for families. Performance at 6.6/10 is a real gap — segment leaders outperform it here by a noticeable margin.
In the mid-range sedan market ($26,200–$30,802, 32 MPG, 5 passengers), it gives buyers what they need without forcing trade-offs. At 2 years old, it’s recent enough that the core feature set holds up, but a newer generation may have addressed some of its weaker dimensions — worth comparing before buying.
