A few days ago, General Motors announced that Chevrolet Malibu will officially stop production in November 2024, and Malibu has gone through 9 generations of development so far, with global sales of more than 10 million units. The car is produced at the Fairfax plant in Kansas, USA, and will be replaced by the Chevrolet Bolt to be launched in 2025 when production is discontinued in the future.
Malibu was born in 1964 and used rear-wheel drive from 1964 to 1983 and front-wheel drive from 1997 to the present. In 2011, the eighth-generation Malibu was officially introduced for domestic sales, and the ninth-generation model was launched in 2015.
Malibu XL is also a relatively marginal product in the domestic market, and it lacks competitiveness in terms of space, configuration, and power, which also makes the monthly sales hover around a few hundred units. At present, Malibu XL has a large discount in the terminal market, with the highest discount for dealers in Shanghai reaching 65,000 yuan, and the starting price of the terminal is in the early 110,000 yuan.
