About This 2022 Chevrolet Malibu LT

This 2022 Chevrolet Malibu LT Sedan (Stock #10517) comes in with 76,438 miles on the odometer — a realistic, honest mileage figure for a vehicle of this age that reflects everyday use without being excessive. For context, the average American driver puts on roughly 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year, which puts this Malibu right in line with expectations for a 2022 model. That means you're getting a relatively recent vehicle with plenty of road life ahead of it, and at a price point that reflects real-world value rather than a showroom premium.
 

2022 Chevrolet Malibu Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Malibu LT runs a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. Chevrolet's turbocharged 1.5L is known for punching above its displacement — producing around 160 horsepower while returning EPA-estimated fuel economy in the mid-to-upper 30s on the highway. The CVT keeps the power delivery smooth and the engine in its optimal rev range, which is particularly useful in stop-and-go Detroit traffic on I-75, I-94, or the Lodge Freeway. Front-wheel drive adds traction confidence during Michigan winters without the added complexity of an all-wheel-drive system.
 

Chevrolet Malibu LT Features and Interior

The LT trim sits above the base LS and brings meaningful upgrades that make daily driving noticeably more comfortable and connected. Buyers can expect features such as an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a 6-speaker audio setup, remote keyless entry, push-button start, and available heated front seats. The Malibu's interior is designed around the driver with an intuitive layout and genuine attention to cabin quietness — something Chevy worked hard on for the later Malibu generations. Rear passenger space is a genuine selling point here; the Malibu offers more legroom than many compact sedans, making it a comfortable family car without stepping up to an SUV.
 

Chevrolet Malibu Reliability and Ownership

The 2022 Chevrolet Malibu benefits from years of refinement. The 1.5T engine used in the LT trim has a solid track record when properly maintained, and the Malibu platform as a whole earned respectable reliability scores from Consumer Reports and J.D. Power in its later model years. Common owner feedback highlights the smooth, quiet ride; the spacious interior relative to the footprint; and the fuel efficiency as standout positives. Routine maintenance — oil changes, tire rotations, and air filter replacements — is affordable and widely available throughout Wayne County. Chevrolet's dealer network across Metro Detroit means parts and service are never far away.
