The 2020 Chevrolet Malibu features various minor changes and updates, including the addition of two new exterior colors: Black Cherry Metallic and Stone Gray Metallic. Here’s our first look at the new Stone Gray hue.
Availability
Assigned color code GCG and touch-up paint code WA-318E, Stone Gray Metallic is one of four neutral hues available for the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu. It’s also one of three “gray” color options available for the sedan.
The new Stone Gray Metallic color is included in the base price of the 2020 Malibu. In addition, the new gray hue is only offered on the LT and Premier trim levels, but can be matched with all the interior color combinations.
2020 Chevrolet Malibu Trim Levels:
- L
- LS
- LT
- RS
- Premier
2020 Chevrolet Malibu Interior Color Combinations:
- Dark Atmosphere with Medium Ash Gray
- Jet Black
- Dark Atmosphere with Light Wheat
It’s worth noting that the addition of the Stone Gray Metallic hue is a bit of a common theme for the 2020 model year, as the 2020 Traverse adopted the color as well.

Funny but this color looks more light brown than a grey stone.
