Staying mostly unchanged for this year again, we can expect some new things to be there in the 2022 Chevrolet Malibu model series of compact sedans. Among all the minor changes that we get to see this time, the most important one will be the elimination of the earlier base trim from the lineup. On the other hand, there will be an additional package of safety and drive-assistance that will control the parking brake electronically and the inclusion of a couple of new color options for the exterior paint.
The 2022 model year edition of the Chevrolet sedan series Malibu will be reduced to only four trims from five, which we have seen for the previous year model. Hence, you have to choose from LS, RS, LT, and Premier, where things will keep getting better as you climb higher the trim levels. With all these attributes up on its sleeves, the 2022 Chevrolet Malibu models are now ready to give its rivals like Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Hyundai Sonata, a tougher challenge in the market of compact sedans, explained the sales in-charge of the Kimberly Chevrolet dealer.

The more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 power variant is capable of squeezing out 250 hp and 260 lb-ft. after the engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, but this combination is exclusively available only on the Premier trim.
