Powertrain Options and Availability
Until 2000, base-model Malibus used a 150-horsepower, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. The Malibu LS got a 3.1-liter V6 that made 155 horsepower, but the biggest difference is in torque output. The V6 engine gained 15 horsepower in 2000. A 4-speed automatic transmission was installed on all Malibus.
