Mid-size Sedan · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.

The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-size sedan we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (9.8 L/100 km) and hybrid (5.1 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 58-year-old one keeps roughly 85% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.

During servicing, a Passenger Presence System (PPS) may have been installed that was not correctly calibrated to the vehicle's seat type.
