Efficient turbo power for every commute
The Malibu pairs turbocharged power with impressive efficiency. Its 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder makes 163 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, and a CVT sends that power to the front wheels. EPA estimates of 28 city/36 hwy mpg mean fewer gas station stops between you and your destination.
Connected, intuitive tech
Your phone's apps move straight to the dash. Every 2025 Malibu trim offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Your maps, playlists, and podcasts appear on the 8-inch touchscreen without a cable in sight.
The screen runs Chevrolet Infotainment 3, keeping navigation and audio within easy reach while you drive. The Malibu also has 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability — handy when passengers want to stream a show or finish an email on the way. Hotspot use may require a data plan, so don't count on it until you've checked. Features can differ on earlier model years, too, so confirm the details on the listing before you book.
Safety tech that has your back
The 2025 Malibu brings Chevy Safety Assist along for every mile. This suite of driver-assistance features watches the road with you, from crowded city streets to quiet highways after dark.
It includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Forward Collision Alert. You also get Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, a Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam auto high beams. Forward Collision Alert and the Following Distance Indicator help you keep a comfortable gap, while Lane Keep Assist helps you stay centered in your lane. IntelliBeam switches your high beams on and off for you, so you can focus on the road ahead. Equipment can vary by model year and trim, so check the listing for the exact setup.
Stand out with a Malibu
The Malibu is a midsize sedan, and it shines on business trips, airport runs, and road trips for up to five people. It gives you room to stretch out without the bulk of a larger vehicle. Browse more midsize sedan rentals to compare options before you book.
Top Malibu features
Six decades of heritage
Three things set the Malibu apart: its heritage, its space, and its range of trims.
The Malibu name dates back six decades. It began in the 1960s as the upscale Chevelle Malibu, then grew into a model of its own that spanned nine generations.
Drivers around the world bought more than 10 million of them — proof that comfort and everyday ease never go out of style. The 2025 model year marks the final chapter of the ninth generation. Book a 2025 Malibu and you're driving the newest take on a name with a long, proud history behind it.
Room for passengers and luggage
The Malibu seats five, so you can bring the whole crew on a weekend getaway or carry a few colleagues to the next client meeting. That makes it a smart fit for small groups who want to ride together.
Out back, the trunk offers 15.7 cu ft of cargo space. That's room for suitcases, carry-ons, and the extras your plans call for. Pack smart and you'll keep the cabin clear for passengers, which makes long drives more comfortable for everyone. If you're traveling with a full group and plenty of luggage, check the listing photos to get a feel for the space before you book. That way, you'll know exactly what fits before you arrive for pickup.
A trim for every taste
The 2025 Malibu came in four trims: LS, RS, 1LT, and 2LT. Each one builds on the same comfortable midsize sedan, so you can choose the version that fits your trip and your style.
Malibu listings on Turo span multiple model years, so the exact trim, features, and specs depend on the vehicle you book. Before you reserve, check the listing for the year, the trim, and the features you care about most. Listing photos and descriptions give you a clear picture of what you'll drive. A few minutes of reading up front helps you book the Malibu that matches your plans and avoid surprises at pickup.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
