The Chevrolet Malibu, a mid-size sedan, underwent a significant redesign for the 2004 model year, marking the beginning of its sixth generation. This refresh introduced a more modern and sophisticated aesthetic, featuring a sleeker profile, a larger grille, and updated headlights. The 2004-2008 Malibu was available in a variety of trim levels, including the base LS, the mid-range LT, and the top-of-the-line LTZ. Powertrain options included a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission for the LS and LT trims, while the LTZ offered a more powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine coupled to a five-speed automatic. This generation of Malibu also saw the introduction of safety features like standard anti-lock brakes (ABS), traction control, and multiple airbags.
The 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu was praised for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and ample cargo space. It was marketed as a practical and reliable option for families and individuals seeking a comfortable and well-equipped mid-size sedan. Despite its success, the Malibu faced competition from other popular mid-size sedans like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Although production of this generation ended in 2008, the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu remained a popular choice in the used car market due to its affordability and reliability. To ensure proper maintenance and repairs for this vehicle, a comprehensive service and repair manual is essential.
