2022 Chevrolet Malibu Premier 2.0T POV Test Drive & Review

[@kevin__evans1996]

I think it’s so stupid where most auto makers are discontinuing sedans. Yes every one wants SUVs today but peoples taste changes I think pretty soon sedans will be back in demand. Chevy should just make enough Malibu’s to meet demand and Buick too with their sedans. I heard Cadillac claims they’ll never discontinue they’re sedans but we’ll see how long that lasts

[@joenathanz7474]

but in china chevrolet & buick and other manufacturer still produce a lot of sedans. so it's all about the country's demand

[@JDMSwervo2001]

Nah the Americans stopped making sedans. The Korean and Japanese are still making them. Also the accord and Camry are about to get redesigned

[@mikemcnamara9878]

I much prefer a sedan over any SUV. It's sad that a lot of manufacturers are discontinuing their sedans. My last car was a 3017 VW Passat (unfortunately it was totaled in a crash), and VW, instead of a redesign, d/c'd it.

[@tpparker2201]

I agree, not everyone wants a SUV

[@42luke93]

Same story when they stopped offering front split bench seating and column shifter on the impala!

[@brucesheehe6305]

Just bought one - same color. 2022 is last year for Premier and 2.0T and 9 speed automatic transmission. Next year - 2023 has 1.5 turbo and CVT transmission. We love ours so far - very quick acceleration and loaded with tech.

[@amirjafariasl6974]

Hi bro, im considering buying 2.0 malibu but im a little bit worry about built quality. In my region Toyota camry hybrid and Honda accord sport are both 42 grand. Malibu 2.0 is 34 grand that's a huge difference and I'm in love with the engine and gearbox of the malibu. But as i mentioned earlier I'm a little bit worried about overall quality. What is your experience and what do you suggesting me to go for??? Thank you in advance ❤️

[@brucesheehe6305]

@@amirjafariasl6974 I have had Chevys for 40 years and have never had a bad one. Quality has always been great. 2.0 Turbo engine is used in many GM vehicles - just change the oil with high quality synthetic every 5,000 miles. Malibu is a solid car - I traded in a 2009 Malibu LTZ and it was still running great. Just wanted a more modern car with a backup camera. I am partial to sedans - and this is the last one from Chevy.

[@amirjafariasl6974]

@@brucesheehe6305 thank you so much for telling me your experience, i probably will choose malibu over other mid size sedans my heart is with chevy right now. Thanks for your time ❤️

My 22 premier transmission went out at 80k miles couldn’t go in reverse had to pay 5000 to replace . But I still love the car😢

[@markschaeffer6765]

Your description of driving/ the ride is 100% spot on

This car is very luxurious. I love it.

I wish people would sample the sound system

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

This is my dream car!! Amazing video bro.

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

Aye Altima is mad at you!!! Lol and nah they are very nice I’m always going to be a GM person at heart. But Nissan hasn’t done me bad the past 4 years whatsoever. Can’t say the same about the 10’ G6 GT I had though, pretty significant issues one after another after I hit 70k miles.

[@bryanjacob94]

Forreal I want one in like a midnight blue , I got a 2012 with 84k miles still runs good ! Malibu is definitely a reliable car and a nice priced car

[@Wcthllboy]

I miss the impala

[@42luke93]

Yeah the ones that had the split bench seating and column shifter were cool.

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

i miss it too. its an amazing car. big and powerful with a normal V6.....i was trying to buy a new one recently but used car prices are insane. there are used ones with 100K miles on them for sale for 16 grand or more.

[@Jeymez]

i don't unless you're talking the 1995 or 1996 Chevy Impala, and obviously the mid 60's Impala, those were great cars. but the Impala kind of lost it's appeal in 2000, the Impala should've kept the Caprice body style, instead GM decided to make it like every vehicle out on the road. but the worst has to be the 2015 - 2019, that was the worst designed body wise for the Impala. i didn't like the cop look either, but atleast the 07 - 13 looked cleaner. this look makes sense on the Malibu, but not the Impala.

[@meloncholy413]

Yesss I’ve been waiting for the 2022 Malibu review! Love this car!!

[@abrielle13]

I'm still salty about them discontinuing the Impala...

[@ronnieperez8519]

I have a 2018 Impala LT with the V6. Just hit 120000 miles. Mostly highway miles to and from work. So far the most expensive repair was the air conditioning which ran about 900 dollars, but it's been a good car. I bought the car with around 41000 miles on New Years day of 2020. Regular oil changes, on my second set of tires, just had the spark plugs changed. Hoping it lasts a long time.

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

amazing car, i have one. super fast and reliable

[@jacobmartinmaas9441]

Did not want a Malibu but really wish I had this Premier over the LT. Different motor, different tranny, dual exhaust, low profile tires, and that sunroof. I miss having a sunroof so much.

[@redbone8844]

I love my 2024 lt it’s so pretty it’s a pretty grey color I get so many compliments on my car!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@RyanDoonan]

That is amazing malibu love the premium trim on our 19 terrain denali we use regular unleaded we have the 2.0T and does amazing

[@amanpreetkaur9275]

Thank you ! finally I know about my car features now❤

[@rirchardrubio5621]

Nice color. I have a white one but yours is cooler looking.

[@Offensively-normal]

I will tell you what I like. 2.0T 9 speed automatic. Integrated infotainment system. ( Not stuck on dash) Price. Size. Also I think this is one of the better looking sedan's available. The only twos issues I have are , I don't care for piano moon roofs and I would prefer all black interior. Not deal breakers. Just preference.

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

all black interiors are ugly, id rather have white or beige, or grey. plus EVERYONE has a black interior these days

[@designingoutcomes]

@@cantwealljustgetalong2its their preference

[@PaulBruinFan]

Thanks for the review. Considering this as a used vehicle.

[@bradleymeyer9775]

I’m not a big beige fan but this color works well in this car.

And no annoying stop/start system!

How’s the road noise inside?

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Not noticeable to be, so, I think it’s okay.

[@mirzobexruzumarov5931]

Electric car or chevy malibu? Which one would you recommend?

[@northtexasfan]

Malibu any day

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Mustang Mach e for me. Malibu hybrid is a great option though.

[@42luke93]

@@NothinButCarReviews didn’t know that they had hybrid Malibus. When was this?

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

electric cars are crap

[@edan7813]

To bad the 2023 malibu only engine pick is a 1.5t 4 cylinder with a cut, like atleast give us the option for an 8 speed or 9 speed auto now that you discontinued the 2.0t. I want to see the 2.7t 4 cylinder in the malibu, the same one used in the ct4 or silverado, like imagine having a 310 hp or 325 hp malibu, and it would be similar to the power the impala v6, the flagship had

[@mrturner4620]

Would be cool, but they probably won’t do it since more than half the sales of the Malibu are for fleets or companies

[@edan7813]

@@mrturner4620 yeah, sadly

[@kentuckygreg4725]

Do you check the air pressure in the vehicles before you do the drive? They vary and can make a big difference on the ride.

[@NothinButCarReviews]

As long as tire pressure light isn't on, I don't check, but they are usually at factory specs when I drive them.

[@raiderfly]

i’m glad the 9 speed is good. the 6 speed in my 2014 Malibu LS has occasional shudders all the time (and 1st gear is too long). the transmission is brand new in it too 😩

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

something isnt adding up in your story. you probably never serviced the original transmission, and if the transmission in it now shudders than its not brand new

[@raiderfly]

@@cantwealljustgetalong2 I bought it with 96,000 miles. Transmission replaced at 100k through a dealer I trust and have family history with. It’s mostly smooth now, but it’s definitely not a performance transmission

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

@raider4394 oh okay, the previous owner definitely never changed the fluids or filter. i had a 2013 malibu the same as yours just one year older with over 300K miles on it with the original engine and transmission on it. but my parents had bought it new and always changed the fluids from new

[@raiderfly]

@@cantwealljustgetalong2 The car has 127,000 miles on it now. I change the oil/ filter religiously every 3,000 miles. Transmission fluid change will happen in about 3,000 miles through the dealership. I’ve taken it on several 1,000 mile road trips and the car has done great. Overall it’s not a bad vehicle- my biggest gripe is the interior quality. Stock stereo is chintsy and featureless and the center console squeaks like no other

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

@raider4394 yeah i hear you, but you have to remember its 10 years old now, be patient lol 😂

[@Stanley112803]

Does it have home link to open your garage?

[@NothinButCarReviews]

It looks like this one does not....interesting.

[@ThomasMauk]

Thank You for this review. I have been looking at this model for a while now, but you explained everything much better than the dealership salesman did. But he did not sell me on it, but your review covered everything I wanted to here. How does the ride compare to the 2023 Nissan Altima either the SL or the VC-Turbo? The Malibu and the Altima are the 2 vehicles I am thinking about. Again, Thank You Much.

[@NothinButCarReviews]

So I actually had a 2016 Malibu LT with Leather while my partner had a 2017 Altima SR. Malibu ride quality is the best in the segment in my opinion. Altima is okay, but especially with the 18-19" wheels, ride quality and road noise were quite a nuisance for me. I ended up buying another Malibu (a 16 Premier), and even with the 19" wheels on it, it always road extremely well.

[@NothinButCarReviews]

And not much has changed in my opinion between the 2.

[@joebankz6478]

They really need to change the infotainment system

[@rockford8915]

Will be buying a Malibu in the next 10 days and still have not decided on the color. Do you think the Malibu looks better in Mineral Grey or Mosaic Black? Have narrowed it down to these two colors.

[@NothinButCarReviews]

😬😬😬😬 Tough choice. Both would look fantastic with wheat or black interior in my opinion. I love black cars, but the mineral gray also has a shine to it that you don’t see that often. That’s a REALLY tough choice

[@rockford8915]

Interesting reply as I didn’t realize Mineral Gray had more shine than any other “typical” color, excluding black. Steering away black exterior color as it shows scratches more, long term. To my eyes Mineral Gray looks more gold than gray. Is that accurate? As always, thank you for your opinion.

[@michaelsuzio4268]

Yeah just rented a mineral grey Malibu it's definitely a gold color looked pretty nice
