It will address growing domestic demand in the upper-medium segment, especially among younger car buyers." The Malibu was Chevrolet’s – and GM’s – best-selling car in the United States in 2010, with sales of nearly 200,000 vehicles. It is among Chevrolet’s most-decorated vehicles in the United States, earning more than 40 industry awards since 2008.

The Malibu has also been named a “Top Safety Pick” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety the last two years.
