The absolute best trunk bike rack for your 2016 Chevy Malibu is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634. Not only does it include a interlocking HUB that lets you customize the tension for a perfect fit on your trunk, it also comes loaded with an integrated cable lock and a steel-reinforced security strap that protects both your bikes and the rack from theft. As far as weight capacity, it accommodates bikes up to 35 pounds.
If you plan on using women's-style bikes, step-thru bikes, or children's bikes, you need the bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for each of those bike styles. With this adapter bar, you receive the straight, horizontal plane that is required to mount the bikes to the attachment arms of the FullBack. I went ahead and attached a video that shows how this works.
