The Chevy Malibu comes with no spare tire in the trunk. It comes with a MINIAir compressor.People dont usually think about spare tires until they need them. If You have a flat tire, thats a pretty bad time to learn that the spare tire You thought was in Your trunk isnt there. Drivers have been conditioned to think of spare tires as a standard feature with all new cars. That is changing and consumers need to re-calibrate their expectations. According to AAA, more than a third of all new car models are being sold without a spare tire.Part of the reason that automakers give is saving weight to achieve fuel efficiency standards. Its also space-saving, particularly for hybrids and sports cars. More and more new cars are eliminating the spare tire and including inflator kits instead.

My 2020 Chevy Malibu came with no spare, unfortunately I learned this on the side of the interstate after a blow out. I had the car 3 years and never looked, shame in me for not being proactive and assuming a 32k vehicle came with a spare. Shame on you GM for selling a girl a car, Premier style, with aircompressor option only

It depends on the trim level and year for whether a chevrolet malibu will have a spare tire or not. If your vehicle does have one it will be located in the trunk.
After having my premier Malibu car for 4 yrs , it come a time , I put 4 new tires on it and one tire got a puncture in the side of one tire a week later, come to find out, we checked the trunk for the spare, to our surprise the trunk was empty this whole time , I assumed there would be one but no, very disappointed in that! I love my car and it’s been a great vehicle for me , very fuel efficient & so far hands down the best vehicle I ve ever owned but to have no spare considering the car being 0ver 30k, I’m aggravated without that feature in the time of need when ur broke down or a blow out .

The simple answer is no, they don’t come with a spare tire. I bought the premier package and it came with a crappy little air compressor, took about 45 minutes to get enough air in the tire to drive to the nearest tire store.
