Two of the available exterior colors for the 2022 Chevy Malibu mid-size sedan are built out for this current model year and are thus no longer available to order, GM Authority has learned.
2022 Chevy Malibu in Cherry Red Tintcoat
Both Silver Ice Metallic (paint code GAN) and Cherry Red Tintcoat (paint code GSK) have been built out for the 2022 Chevy Malibu. This means that dealers will no longer be able to place new sold orders for the 2022 Chevy Malibu in either of these two exterior colors. Silver Ice Metallic is a no-cost paint option on the Chevy Malibu, while Cherry Red Tintcoat cost $495 to equip. While Silver Ice Metallic is offered with all Chevy Malibu trim levels, Cherry Red Tintcoat is only available on the RS, LT and Premier, leaving out the entry-level LS.

These same exterior colors are no longer available to order on the Chevy Blazer, either, with both Silver Ice Metallic and Cherry Red Tintcoat built out for the 2022 model year. The 2022 Chevy Camaro is also no longer available to order in Cherry Red Tintcoat.
As usual, GM will revise the available exterior paint colors on multiple Chevy vehicles for the new model year. The Chevy Tahoe and Suburban will drop three paint colors and replace them with new ones, while the Chevy Traverse will also ditch two of its current paint colors for new options.
Under the hood, the current 2022 Chevy Malibu offers two engine options. The base engine is the turbocharged 1.5L I4 LFV gasoline motor, rated at 163 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, while the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LTG gasoline engine, rated at 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, is available as an optional upgrade on the Premier trim. With an impressive fuel economy rating of 32 mpg, the Malibu has the second-best combined fuel efficiency among GM vehicles, which may be one of the many reasons Chevy’s midsize sedan remains popular with buyers.
The Chevy Malibu is produced at the GM Fairfax plant in Kansas. Production of the sedan will remain at this facility as it changes over to the mildly revised 2023 model year.

Cool. Maybe that will make my Cherry red 2021 Bu will become a classic now? haha.
I had to laugh when I read this statement above in the article –
“ With an impressive fuel economy rating of 32 mpg, the Malibu has the second-best combined fuel efficiency among GM vehicles, which may be one of the many reasons Chevy’s midsize sedan remains popular with buyers”
POPULAR?????? Try to find a Chevrolet Malibu Premier!!!!!! Try to find ANY Chevy Malibu!!!!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Does anyone know of any car magazine like motor trend or car and driver etc. that has tested a Chevy Malibu any model along with their competition? I always see the competition tested against each other, but I never see a Malibu added into the mix. People really don’t know what they’re missing let me tell you. I love my 2020 Cajun Red Malibu Premier! 16,100 miles since I leased it on 9/19/19! Buying it this September Because it’s worth only a few thousand dollars less than the original sticker price! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely agree with you! Just like the discontinued Impala. Can’t find a used Priemer & if you do they are gone in a flash. So much for the wisdom of GM decision makers on the popularity of the sedan. Maybe if they hadn’t been so laser focused on promoting SUVs, more people would have ordered sedans. For several years before announcing the demise of the Impala, they opted to not even include it in their promotional advertising. The Impala, and probably soon the Malibu, were planned for death by GM.
GM is a poorly run company as far as product mix. They are slowing killing sedans yet, unlike Ford or Sergio’s FCA operate 4 brands.
GM, especially Buick, has closed the quality gap with Japanese/Korean brands, and with the pressure of the Chinese market, are selling a few high quality gems.
Next generation Regal as well as Verano need to be rebadged as Chevrolet. I dislike aiding the economy of China but also understand that until these vehicles are able prove successful one assembly line is probably in GM’s interest.
Long-term GM must look back at Europe. They were near break even with Opel, PSA proved profit possible; a GM line of Ultium EV’s sold as GM, Ultium or blank slate Buick would prove especially profitable especially if the Tesla distribution model was followed. Regal and Verano will be EV after the next generation and make a great contribution.
