The Chevy Malibu is one of the last remaining sedan models in General Motors’ 2021 model year lineup, with the Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5 rounding out the automaker’s ever-dwindling four-door offerings. Indeed, with U.S. consumers’ seemingly insatiable demand for crossovers and SUVs, the Malibu’s future is uncertain. Nevertheless, some automotive fans remain devoted to the more traditional body styles, such as sedans and wagons. As such, we rendered up the following Chevy Malibu wagon just for those folks.
Before we get into this, it bears mentioning that there is currently no indication that General Motors will produce a new Chevy Malibu wagon. Rather, we did this rendering just for fun, and to see what such a creation could look like.
Indeed, with nine generations of history to back it, there is definitely a precedent for offering a Chevy Malibu wagon. Now, with this exclusive GM Authority rendering, there’s a styling argument to be made as well.
Mating the latest front-fascia styling with an extended roof design, our Chevy Malibu wagon looks good. The classy, yet aggressive headlamps and grille section pull the eye rearwards along small styling lines in the hood that lead to angled A-pillars.
The profile view gives us a look at our Chevy Malibu wagon’s upward slanting window line, providing a visual rake that adds further sporty undertones. Large, silver wheels occupy the corners, providing a nice complement to the Burgundy paint.
The rear view finishes things off with a squared hatch section that adds flat, chiseled lines below a rectangular slab of glass. The long roof terminates with a spoiler and shark fin antenna, while the tail lamps narrow towards the center of the hatch, pointing to the license plate holder. Finally, a set of integrated exhaust tips are found in the flat-black lower bumper treatment.

Would need awd to compete with the likes of Subaru and Euro wagons. Will never happen.
That’s exactly the problem. The Chevy cars were never AWD…. make it AWD at it will sell.
You want it to really sell, make it a two door Nomad EV, with AWD as an option. People are tired of the same old same old. If a $113K Hummer can sell out its options in 10 minutes, they should be able to sell a Nomad nearly as fast!
The Chevrolet Malibu wagon would be perfect for China as the Chinese people are frugal and will like the efficiency in usage of space that the wagon would afford them while at the same time still be cheaper and easier to operate than a CUV which can be more expensive to buy and operate.
IMHO It’s hideous.
Dare to dream. A wagon would extend the life and bring profitability to the Malibu.
Go for it!
And while you’re at it, add a convertible too.
I’ll take it!! After owning over 50 wagons since my 64 Impala in 1975 and my last one, a CTS-V, I would like to see another GM wagon. This one will not be a 10-second wagon like my 700 hp Caddy but it will look good with some custom touches. I’m still pondering the Buick TourX.
We did the right thing when we stopped making hideous wagons years ago!
Hummm….looks a lot like a Traverse….just smaller.
Gesz, it’s called a TourX. There’s one in my carport and I love it.
I think it looks great. Maybe it would have sold better than the Buick wagon.
Lift it up a couple inches, make it awd and fully electric please
it is a buick regal stationwagon with chevy nose/grill… sadly Buick had difficult time selling their wagons, especially when they were being built by Opel and GM sold Opel… It wasn’t a bad wagon, but it was compromied to meet some $ales point… (I had a 2012 Regal GS 6 sp) only wish they would of made a Gran Sport AWD manual stationwagon… I think it would of been a sales success… maybe the malibu will get a SS version..
Everything you asked for is available…as an Opel. I’ve driven a diesel version in England and it was a blast to drive.
If you build it, I will buy it.
This is the ride I’ve been waiting for. My OH wants one too. Sign us up for two of them.
Want a wagon? Volvo V60 or V 90 are available
Over my 05 V70.
I think it looks good. Make it AWD and run with it.
Well I have one of the last 2018 Buick regal tour x and is a great riding car this I guess would be basically the same thing they did not sell very many of them maybe because of Buicks sales not showing the car off at Cadillac dealersI drive by Cadillac dealers every day that sell Buicks and they have none sitting out front
I had the Chevy Malibu Sedan and love it! Yes, bring on the wagon with AWD and the bells and whistles and I’ll buy it!
Yes, beautiful styling. Love it!!
Beautiful ‼️‼️ Will the price be reasonable?????
Problem with all USA Mfg’s when designing the Stn/Wgn- no ground clearance! Get those platforms up (like an SUV, like the Outback, etc) They don’t have to be off-road but capable of getting out of your driveway on snow days or past the end of the street on downpour days.
I am ready to buy
Nice, it looks just like my Volvo V60. Oh wait… You can buy that now…
Would it not follow the Holden swoop, and round shoulder avoiding the taillight resolution from the Buick TourX. Love the spoiler flare between the back glass and the taillights, very M5 touring.
Crossovers are frustrating to me…”pregnant roller skate” from my childhood comes to mind
Oh cool Toyota brought back the Venza after all!!
Looks great, make it awd and you have a winner.
I would love it. Make it a hybrid and it would be perfect.
Hey Glen,
Couldn’t agree more. A big reason sedans and wagons don’t sell is people are tired if climbing up out of ground hugging vehicles. Raise it and make AWD available at a reasonable price and they’ll sell.
Yep
Build it now!!! Cadillac too. Please
“rendering”? Someone copied the Buick Tourx – best car GM has made and they don’t make it here now – It’s made in Europe. Just bought a 2019 leftover and it’s an unbelievable bargain. Built in Germany, USA 250hp turbo motor, 295 torque, 4WD, peace and quiet, powerful, fast, handles like a European sports car (GTI), full of options, drop dead gorgeous, tons of room, leather interior, navigation, $26K. Bring it back.
Love it! I would definitely trade my 2015 Malibu for the Malibu Wagon. Please make it happen GM
Just don’t put the black plastic cladding around the wheel wells, Even Mercedes wagons are getting the cheap look of cladding.
The readers clearly indicate that the car is wanted. But yes, make it AWD. Pontiac knew how to do that. Chev has bad attitude on the subject.
Alright, let’s get serious. Make this wagon with three available options. All wheel drive, a V8, and everybody sit down, how about a manual transmission. That’s a lot to consider, but i think it could work.
The Buick Wagon is awesome, almost bought one but the auto stop/start nixed it.
We hate SUV’s in our family, so my ride is a TSX Sport Wagon. My wife got the Buick in June, one of the last new ones around, love the wagons!
You Americans are funny. You killed the last touring aka wagon available, the Cadillac CTS SW. Now you want the auto mfrs to bring them back.
All I can say is, if they don’t do an TRUE SS AWD version, they are the absolute worst in forward thinking. PS Panoramic roof!
Thanks to the chunky “children’s toy” lines of most GMs these days, I thought this was a minivan.
Absolutely sign me up and make it an SS version AWD! I had the HHR SS and kick myself in the butt for letting it go. I saw it last spring and it was nice to see that the girl that bought it still had it looking showroom new.
Rwd based … now if it was offered as a el Camino bet it would sale about $ 30-35k but Chevy needs better looking grille
