Chevrolet Malibu
You can pretty much count the number of midsize sedans still available in Canada with just one hand. The Malibu soldiers on for 2024 with a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine producing 160 horsepower and mated to a CVT. Part of the Malibu’s relative success can be attributed to its competitive prices. That being said, the top-line 2LT model is not very attractive when compared with more powerful or AWD-equipped rivals.
