The price of the entry-level LS model has increased by $100.
According to the GM Authority, the Malibu, which is the only sedan option available to Chevrolet, is expected to remain unchanged for the model year 2024.
The Malibu's four trim levels are still in place (the Premium was replaced by the 2LT last year), and the equipment has not changed much. As a result, prices have largely remained unchanged, with the LS trim being the only model to see an increase. However, this entry-level grade is only $100 more expensive than before, bringing the total cost to $25,100, so customers shouldn't be discouraged.
The more luxurious 1LT and 2LT cost $28,100 and $31,500, respectively, while the RS costs $27,095. All costs referenced here exclude the maker's objective cargo charge of $1,095. As referenced, changes are negligible and concern the LS generally. Instead of the standard black finish, the body-colored side mirror caps that come with the base model will reportedly be available, and an optional 16-inch steel spare wheel and emergency kit will also be available. However, a tire inflator kit is standard.
The elimination of two metallic paint colors will have an impact on the remainder of the range: Riverside Blue and Dull Debris. Lakeshore Blue Metallic, a new shade, will be available for free, though. The 2024 Malibu is expected to begin production on June 21, 2023, one day after MY2023 production ends.
Automotive News predicts that the venerable sedan will cease production in 2026, despite reports that a tenth-generation Malibu will arrive in 2025. However, according to some reports, the Malibu will continue to exist after 2030, albeit with a new generation.
The Malibu is a well-liked purchase in the fleet market because it is an affordable yet spacious vehicle that is ideal for the rental sector. However, GM's push for electric crossovers and SUVs leaves little room for an ICE-powered budget four-door.
Maybe we will see a cross-breed form debut, followed by a completely electric model. Chevrolet has shown off a brand-new four-door electric vehicle in China, despite the fact that Americans don't like sedans. Due to its Camaro influence, muscular stance, and oddly named FNR-XE concept, it is a handsome brute.
GM President Mark Reuss noted that the electric sedan is "primarily for the Chinese market" and that GM will "see the desirability as we clinic [the sedan]." The company has hinted that an Ultium-based electric sedan could be brought to the United States. Might this at any point be the Malibu swap we've been waiting for? Let us assume so.
