The LT adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-change alert with side blind zone alert — features that make every drive more comfortable and every commute safer. Rear passengers enjoy generous legroom that puts this Malibu above smaller competitors in the segment.
