At its height, the Chevy Malibu won​ Motor Trend Car of the Year 1997 because of its smooth ride and fuel economy.

General Motors plans to stop making its Chevrolet Malibu at the end of the year as it makes room for production on more electric vehicles. First introduced in 1964, the Malibu was once the top-selling car in its segment in the U.S., an unwavering presence of family garages nationwide. Professional stock car racers used the Malibu body between 1973 and 1977 for NASCAR competitions, helping drivers win 25 different titles, according to Motor Trend magazine.

GM sold just over 130,000 Malibus in 2023, 8.5% fewer than in 2022. All told, GM said it sold more than 10 million Malibus in the car's lifetime, spanning nine generations since its debut. GM's factory in Kansas City, Kansas, which now makes the Chevy Malibu will stop making the car in November. The plant will get a $390 million retooling to make a new version of the Chevrolet Bolt small electric car.
