2009 Chevrolet Malibu Engine

The 2009 Chevrolet Malibu engine choices listed here are LE5, LE9, and LY7. These engine codes identify the available engines for this model year; they do not, by themselves, state horsepower, fuel economy, or other ratings.

Read the catalog entries as engine-specific information, not as a single figure that applies to every Malibu. The listed choices change by engine: LE5, LE9, and LY7 are the codes to compare when checking specifications. The facts provided do not identify which trims used each engine or give ratings, so confirm any missing engine or trim detail in the owner's manual.

A catalog figure applies only to the year and engine shown with it. If you need a vehicle-specific rating or a specification not listed here, confirm it in the owner's manual. For a vehicle label or other vehicle-specific information, check the door jamb as well.
