Chevrolet Malibu Ground Clearance by Year

The Chevrolet Malibu has listed ground clearance of 6 to 6.5 inches across the catalog years shown. This is the distance between the vehicle’s underside and the road, and the range represents the figures available for the Malibu rather than one measurement that applies to every car. The catalog covers model years 1999 through 2023, so check the entry for the specific year when comparing vehicles.

Ground clearance can vary with model year, trim, or equipment, but the supplied facts do not identify which versions correspond to either end of the range. They also do not provide a figure for every individual year or engine. Do not assume that all Malibu models share the same clearance; confirm a measurement for your vehicle on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.

Stored ground clearance by year. Missing years have no clearance figure in this extract.

The largest stored change occurs between 2015 and 2017, when ground clearance increases.
