Chevrolet Malibu LS Features and Interior

The LS trim represents the entry point into the Malibu lineup, but it doesn't feel stripped down. Buyers can expect a well-laid-out cabin with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and cruise control. The Malibu's interior is one of its strongest selling points in its class — the rear seat legroom is genuinely generous for a mid-size sedan, making it comfortable for passengers on longer drives. Cloth seating, dual-zone climate controls, and a clean instrument cluster round out a cabin that feels functional and comfortable rather than budget-feeling.
