A midsize sedan made for easy miles

Drive a Malibu Limited

The Chevrolet Malibu Limited is a 2016 midsize sedan with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and seats for five. It's a comfortable, efficient pick for everyday miles, and it sits among the Chevrolet car rental options on Turo.

On Turo, you book the exact Malibu Limited you see from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. It's the one-year carryover of the previous-generation Malibu, offered in LS, LT, and LTZ trims — so an LT is simply one of its trims.

Efficient, easygoing four-cylinder power

The Malibu Limited pairs a 2.5L direct-injection four-cylinder with 197 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic sends that power to the front wheels, and standard start/stop helps save fuel in stop-and-go traffic. Fuel economy lands at 24 mpg city and 34 mpg highway — welcome numbers when you're mapping out a long drive.

Roomy cabin & trunk

The Malibu Limited seats five and backs them up with a 16.3 cu ft trunk. That's room for suitcases, sports gear, or a big grocery run, so the whole crew's bags fit without a standoff at the curb. It's an easy call for carpools, family visits, and weekend getaways.

Is it a full-size car? No — the Malibu Limited is a midsize sedan that balances cabin space with easy parking. You get room for five on a road trip and a footprint that slips into a downtown parking garage.

Connected tech

The Malibu Limited offers available Chevrolet MyLink with Bluetooth streaming audio, so your playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks ride along. OnStar comes into the picture too, with an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that helps passengers stay connected on longer drives. Pair your phone once and you're set for the trip.

Tech availability varies by trim, so check the listing to see exactly what your car includes before you book. If a hotspot matters — say, for a passenger working on the way — confirm it's on the listing first. A quick look now saves a surprise at pickup, and it helps you choose the Malibu Limited that fits the way you travel.

Stand out with a Malibu Limited

The Malibu Limited fits the trips you take most: daily commutes, road trips, airport runs, and budget-minded travel. Its four-cylinder stretches each gallon, its cabin seats five, and its understated look blends in anywhere.

Top Malibu Limited features

One-year rarity

Chevrolet sold the Malibu Limited for one model year only — 2016. It's the final edition of the eighth-generation Malibu, carried over for one more year while a new design arrived. That short run gives the car a quiet distinction among midsize sedans, and it makes the 2016 model both its first and final year.

After a brief run with retail buyers, Chevrolet sold the Malibu Limited to fleets only. Booking one on Turo lets you drive a one-year footnote in Chevrolet's sedan history, with the familiar comfort and efficiency of the eighth-generation design. It's a fun detail to share on your next road trip.

Safety-minded build

Every Malibu Limited comes with 10 standard airbags. Available upgrades include the Advanced Safety Package, which adds blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. Together, these extras help you keep tabs on what's around you while you drive.

A rearview camera is also available, which comes in handy when you're backing out of a tight spot at the airport or the grocery store. Since these systems are optional, the setup changes from car to car. Check the listing to see which ones your Malibu Limited includes — especially if blind-spot monitoring tops your list.

Trims with options

The Malibu Limited came in three trims: LS, LT, and LTZ. Available options include navigation, a power sunroof, and leather seating, depending on the trim and how the car was equipped. That range means you can choose a straightforward commuter or a more upscale cabin for the same trip.

Want a sunroof for a scenic weekend drive or built-in navigation for an unfamiliar city? Scan each listing's details and photos to find the setup that fits your plans. The listing shows what your car includes, so you'll know before you book whether it has leather seats, navigation, or open-sky views.

Malibu Limited driving tips

A few quick habits make your first miles in a Malibu Limited easier.

Expect the engine to pause at red lights, since standard start/stop is normal behavior.

Pack to the 16.3 cu ft trunk, especially when all five seats are full.

Plan road-trip fuel stops around the 27 mpg combined rating.

Adjust the seats and mirrors and pair your phone with MyLink before you pull away.

How much does it cost to rent a Malibu Limited?

The cost to rent a Malibu Limited depends on the specific car, your trip length, any extras, and whether you choose delivery. You can lower the total with a few smart booking moves.

Book four or more days ahead with a non-refundable trip and you'll save 10%. Duration discounts can also apply at three days, one week, and one month.

Staying a while? Trips of 30 days or more have no trip fee, except in parts of Los Angeles and New York. Learn more about long-term car rental on Turo.

  1. * 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.

  2. For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. 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.
