| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Interior room is outstanding. Trunk room is phenomenal, especially with flip and fold flat rear seat. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 3.4L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Rear seat had good room. Passengers had good leg room. Only adults over 6ft would touch the backs of the front seat with their legs. Draw back was the low roof. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu
| 2014 Chevrolet Malibu Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| On paper, the Malibu's rear seat is only a little tighter than those in the 2008-2012 sedan and in competing cars. In person, rear knee room would only be marginally competitive in the compact sedan segment. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, my shins graze the front seatbacks. GM is rushing some revised seats to market. But if past attempts to fix a cramped rear seat are any indication, this won't make a substantial difference. The rear seat in the Ford Fusion is roomier, if also short of the segment's quasi-limos. see full Chevrolet Malibu review | ||

| 2014 | 4dr Sedan 196-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Both front & rear compartments very roomy & comfortable. Again, this is noted improvement over our 2009 Malibu. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This is tight if front seats are postioned at or close to the back of their range; shorter wheelbase in this model compared to prior version. Rear seat access is excellent (i.e, for infant car seats, small item transport). see full Chevrolet Malibu review |
