The paint code according to the online configurator is GBA, which is plain black with no metallic flakes. It seems that the sparkling black color you are looking for, mosaic black metallic (GB8) was eliminated for 2020+ model years.

(On a strictly personal note, I'd consider other colors, black paint, while looking badass, is impossible to keep clean. My wife's SUV is mosaic black metallic and it looks dirty all. the. time. Even a few hours after cleaning.)

I have the BGA plain black and the only time it’s ever clean is right after I finish washing it. Then within an hour it’s dirty again. By contrast, a family member has summit white on their Malibu and I rarely notice dirt on their car

Ha, same here. Like I told a neighbor the other day, it's been over an hour since I last cleaned it so yeah it's dirty.
