If you’ve been watching any of the (admittedly pretty awesome) ads for the 2017 Chevy Malibu, then you’ve likely also seen parents swooning over the new teen driver feature. Their excitement is obviously has a pretty good reason behind it: every parent’s worst nightmare involves finding that their child has been in an accident, and this feature helps to keep this from happening. So what is it?
What is the 2017 Chevy Malibu Teen Driver Feature?
While a parent would certainly be overbearing if they kept a camera inside a car that their child was driving, the Teen Driver feature in the 2017 Chevy Malibu is the next best thing. With the many variables that teens face — distractions, lack of driving experience, the potential for poor choices — they are often more likely to get in an accident.

What does the Chevy Malibu Teen Driver Feature Do?
When the Teen Driver feature is activated, a number of additional features join it. Front audio is muted until seatbelts are latched, while active safety features such as the Side Blind Zone Alert, Front Automatic Braking and Forward Collision Alert are available as well. Perhaps most importantly, the teen driver is provided with an in-vehicle report card, allowing parents to note how the teen performs behind the wheel, finds potential problem areas, and allows parents to teach their young driver some new methods.
Which Malibu Trims offer the Teen Driver Feature?
Thankfully, many more Malibu trims offer the Teen Driver feature than do not. The Teen Driver feature comes standard on the 2017 Malibu LS, LT, Hybrid and Premier, all of which are now available at EVS Auto Group.
