Chevrolet Malibu

Midsize GM car

The Chevrolet Malibu is a midsize sedan produced by General Motors, first manufactured in 1964 as part of the Chevelle line before becoming its own model.

The name evokes the Southern California beach city, suggesting sun-soaked American leisure.

The Malibu occupies the middle of Chevrolet's sedan lineup—practical family transportation without luxury pretensions: My parents drove a Malibu when I was growing up.
