Nine Features on the 2025 Malibu That Help You Protect Your Peace of Mind

Central Louisiana drivers, we know you enjoy the quiet life up here, away from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans. So, you deserve a vehicle that complements your serene and laid-back lifestyle with a hint of stylish charm. The Chevy Malibu is that vehicle, and if you’re looking for a Chevy dealer near Natchitoches, visit us at Southern Chevrolet.

We carry this stylish and well-priced midsize sedan, and we’d love to show it to you! With timeless looks, a spacious cabin, and several great trims to choose from, we know you’ll love what the Malibu has to offer. Below, we’ll go over nine of our favorite features of the 2025 Malibu that we think make it just right for Natchitoches drivers. When you’re ready for a test drive, we’re here and happy to help!

#1 – An Acoustic-Laminated Windshield

When the Natchitoches Jazz/R&B festival takes place every year, the city is humming with terrific musicians. However, when you’re done listening to them, you’re done listening to them (but it can be hard to escape the sounds). So, slide into the 2025 Malibu and enjoy the benefits of the acoustic-laminated windshield. It’s designed with special materials that absorb sounds before they enter the vehicle, significantly reducing noise levels inside the cabin. So, if you love to enjoy a peaceful, quiet driving experience or an uninterrupted phone conversation with a good friend, you’ll love being inside the 2025 Malibu.

#2 – Available Built-In Alexa

If you enjoy the many benefits of having Alexa in your home, then you’ll love also having them in your vehicle. The 2025 Malibu is available with Alexa Built-in. That means you can do all of the things you do with your home unit while driving across Interstate 49. Did you just remember you need to order more bug spray? Ask Alexa to add it to your shopping list. Do you forget to turn on the thermostat before heading out (to avoid returning to a famously hot and humid Louisiana home)? Ask Alexa to set it for you. Are you curious about this weekend’s weather or when a certain movie is coming out? Ask Alexa while you’re cruising. It’s like having a personal assistant in your vehicle at all times.

#3 – Teen Driver Technology

Natchitoches might be where “Steel Magnolias” was filmed, but that doesn’t mean your relationship with your teen needs to be as tumultuous as that between M’Lynn and Shelby Eatenton. And with Teen Driver Technology, you can reduce some of the drama of parenting a teen. Teen driver is a popular driver-assist feature found in many modern Chevy models. It allows parents to set certain limits on what the vehicle does, including how high the stereo volume goes and how fast the vehicle goes. You can create settings so that it never allows your new driver to go over 85 mph, no matter what. It can also require that teens buckle up before they shift out of the park.

Teen Driver Technology also generates a driver report card. Here, you can see stats like how many forward collision alerts there were, the maximum speed driven, the distance driven, and the number of excessive speed warnings. Reviewing these stats can help foster important conversations between you and your teen about safe driving behaviors.

#4 – Ventilated Front Seats

You know what they say about Louisiana summers. “It’s not the heat — it’s the humidity,” “It’s a barn-burner,” “It’s hot as all get-out.”…okay, they say a lot of things. But that’s because the summer is no joke here, and you need a vehicle that can keep you cool. Luckily, the 2025 Malibu has available ventilated front seats, so you and your front-seat passenger can enjoy a full-body breeze on hot Louisiana days.

#5 – A Bose Premium 9-Speaker Audio System

Music can have many functions. It can pump you up for a long day of work, calm you down after a long day at work, get you excited for that outdoor concert, or help you get over heartbreak. Your car is one of the best places to listen to music because of the incredible acoustics. Make the most of it with the 2025 Malibu’s available Bose Premium 9-Speaker audio system. With nine speakers, you have nearly two speakers per passenger, so everyone can immerse themselves in your tunes. If you prefer listening to audiobooks or podcasts, you’ll hear every ambient sound and every word clearly through this terrific sound system.

#6 – A Rear Seat Reminder

Whether you’re on a phone call, checking a text, or thinking about what your annoying neighbor said, it’s easy to get distracted when getting out of your vehicle. However, when you’re distracted, you’re more likely to forget valuables in the backseat, from electronics to private documents to toddlers and pets. That’s why the 2025 Malibu has a Rear Seat Reminder function. This system turns on any time the vehicle doors open or close. For up to 10 minutes, it can emit audible chimes and give you a visual alert on the driver’s display, reminding you to check the rear seat for valuables before walking away from your vehicle.

#7 – Remote Start

We all know that the heat of Louisiana cannot be overstated. That’s why we also like to tell folks about the remote start function. It allows you to remotely activate the vehicle’s climate control using either your keyfob or the MyChevy app. So, while you’re sitting at your kitchen table enjoying breakfast, you can pre-cool your Malibu cabin so the climate inside is just right by the time you’re ready to drive off.

#8 – Automatic Parking Assist

While there’s usually a helpful resident ready to help you into a parking spot in Natchitoches, when you’re on your own, you’ll appreciate Automatic Parking Assist. This system has sensors at the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle that can detect a parking spot large enough for your vehicle. It can then automatically steer you into the spot, whether it’s parallel or perpendicular to the vehicle. So, you don’t have to rely on your eyes or tiny manual maneuvers to avoid scratches and bumps.

#9 – OnStar Services

While we hope you never need them, OnStar Services are available on the Chevy Malibu. In the event of an accident, this system enables you to communicate with an emergency responder through the vehicle’s speakers. So, if you can’t reach for your phone, you can still get the help you need. It also locates your vehicle, so the emergency responder knows where to send the appropriate assistance, whether or not you know your exact location. With OnStar, you can hit the road with peace of mind, and that’s priceless.
