Almost nothing! The Malibu received a minor visual update for 2019, so the 2020 Malibu carries over to this year with only a few new colors (Stone Gray and Black Cherry) and new wheels for the RS and Premier trims. Three paint colors available in 2019 are no more, so if you had a strong attachment to or lust for Iridescent Pearl, Pacific Blue, or Sandy Ridge, 2020 just isn't your year.
Pros Handsome (yes, really!) design, lots of tech, great ride and handling for its class.
Cons Poor rear visibility, cheaper models lack features, can't disable auto stop/start.
