The 2013–2015 Malibu uses the same key setup, so everything on this page applies to those years too. The full picture is on the Chevrolet Malibu key guide.

Same key system as the 2013–2015 Malibu

Chevrolet kept the Malibu's key system unchanged across 2013–2015, so everything about replacing a 2015 key — blanks, programming, and what happens if every key is lost — matches the rest of that run. The full year-by-year breakdown lives in our Chevrolet Malibu key guide.

What drives the price is the key type, whether you still have a working key, and where the car is parked. There's more on Chevrolet programming in general on our Chevrolet key page.
