Chevy Malibu Coupe Rendering Brings Elegant, Sporty Appeal
Sponsored Links
The Chevrolet Malibu nameplate was introduced for the 1964 model year, and in the decades since, eight generations have come and gone. The latest ninth-generation Malibu was introduced for the 2016 model year, but despite a refresh for the 2019 model year, the Malibu’s future is uncertain, given GM’s focus on AV and EV technology development and a general trend towards crossovers and SUVs among the buying public. Nevertheless, we think there’s plenty of appeal left in the Malibu nameplate, and to prove it, we drew up the following Chevy Malibu Coupe rendering.
Now, we should start by mentioning that General Motors currently has no plans to actually produce a new Chevy Malibu Coupe. Rather, we created this rendering just for fun.
From the off, our Chevy Malibu Coupe rendering should be somewhat familiar, with a recognizable fascia design and styling lines. However, our two-door enhances the factory look with a list of updates, the most obvious of which is a new two-door profile.
We decided to to go with a pillar-less door design, as it not only offers a sleek, stylish look, but also enhances overall visibility. We also think it looks fantastic with the Malibu’s sloping roofline, adding a sense of luxury similar to something like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe.
The profile also reveals larger wheels, which fit the wheel wells nicely thanks to a lowered stance, enhancing the Chevy Malibu Coupe’s sporting appeal even further.
The rear end gives us another view of the clean pillar-less profile, as well as a set of clear tail lamps. The updated tail lamps play nicely with the Chevy Malibu Coupe’s rounded rear end and trunk lid spoiler, while we would also expect a new, more aggressive exhaust system to announce the two-door’s arrival.

Not while Barra is CEO
I would preorder
The Malibu was the top trim level of the 1964 Chevelle. I believe the Malibu became a model in1973?
Didn’t like the side sheet metal on the car at first, but now I do and the proportions are right. But we will stick with our Impala 3.6 reg gas.
Last Monte Carlo was 2007. Why would they make a Malibu Coupe? For the 3 people interested? I’m concerned they’ll have any cars at all. Because all the Karens want SUV’s
If the is a new Malibu for the US I’d expect to see Regal from China but with a unique front end. It would bust the competition and probably be even nicer than Accord or Mazda 6
RWD- Sure
V8, Perhaps V6- Sure
Anything else – PASS
You forgot the landau vinyl top and whitewall tires with your 1979 fantasy car.
I would like to see more on the Malibu coupe. Perhaps several engine opt’s. Maybe several trim levels with an SS opt’s at the top level with more than just a badge. GM really needs to keep the car enthusiasts happy. Otherwise they go elsewhere.
Asian manufacturers are trying really hard to capture that crowd.
Camaro’s are cool but NOT a family coupe.
If they ever entertain the thought of building this, then they better build a new Monte Carlo for me…..now that’s wishful thinking.
Basically GM is out of the “car” business. They have decided to go the way of the dodo bird with cars. They only seem interested in SUVs and trucks. And they want all of them to be Electric……
They had one of the best sedans in the automotive market with the Impala – and they say it did not sell.. Well, if you don’t let folks know that you build great cars (read: advertise) then people do not know.. even Consumer Reports liked the Impala, and they hate almost everything American !!!
Yes they should have promoted the cars – instead they will give all of the business to the Japanese and Europeans.
Let me re-think my portfolio….hhmmmmm …
The Impala didn’t sell well because it was a large sedan. That’s a segment that isn’t selling well anyway.
GM (or any other company) doesn’t cancel products to be mean to people or to force you to drive something else. They cancel them because they don’t make them any money.
Bring back the legendary 3.8 liter V6. My 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix is running strong. Since I buy used car instead of new…i will still be able to pick up a GM sedan in the future.
G.M.C. Good Man’s Car!
I would absolutely buy something like that.
Looks like the Holden Pontiac GTO
I have seen the renditions of both the Malibu and Cruze. I would buy either one. They look killer. A higher performance trim would be especially nice.
