Touting the fact that it has a lower starting MSRP than the Hyundai Sonata, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima and Mazda6, Chevrolet has revealed the 2016 Malibu to start at $22,500.

“We’ve continued our focus on delivering on the highest levels of quality, as evidenced by recent recognitions from J.D. Power on initial quality and long-term dependability,” said Steve Majoros, director of Chevrolet cars and crossovers. “The 2016 Malibu is engineered and priced to give customers impressive value and technology that’s hard to compete with.”
