For the 2017 Chevy Malibu Premier we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 36652 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I like this hitch over the Curt hitch that also is a fit as it does not require the use of a stabilizer strap with unsupported loads (like a bike rack), that the Curt hitch requires.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
