The Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-size sedan that has been a mainstay in the American automotive landscape since its inception in 1964. While the nameplate has undergone several iterations and redesigns throughout its history, the 2004 model year marks a significant point in the Malibu's evolution. It represents the fourth generation of the Malibu, and it was built on General Motors' W platform, shared with other popular models like the Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura. The 2004 Malibu offered a spacious interior with comfortable seating for five passengers, a relatively fuel-efficient powertrain, and a respectable level of standard features, making it a compelling option for families and commuters alike. Under the hood, the 2004 Malibu was available with two engine options: a 2.2L Ecotec four-cylinder engine producing 145 horsepower, and a more powerful 3.5L V6 engine generating 200 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The 2004 Malibu was also known for its relatively high safety ratings, thanks to standard features like anti-lock brakes and multiple airbags. The 2004 Chevrolet Malibu was a moderately successful model year, building upon the foundations of its predecessors and offering a reliable and comfortable driving experience. However, the 2004 Malibu, like many cars of its era, did not offer the same level of advanced safety technology, infotainment systems, or fuel efficiency that became prevalent in later model years. Nevertheless, the 2004 Malibu served as a stepping stone for the brand, paving the way for future generations of the popular mid-size sedan.
