Key Features and Equipment
It has plenty of space for moving around in, too, and the general spaciousness is great for tall people who need extra leg room. The Accord is a bit narrower, which can make driving a less comfortable experience for the taller drivers out there. The Malibu is a touch longer, at 193.8” versus 192.2” for the Accord. Its’ also a half-inch taller, though slightly less wide by around .3”.
It could be argued that the Malibu comes out on top in this aspect, too. With rear all-season tires provided as well as all-season front tires, you can feel safer driving this when the bad weather kicks in. The Malibu just has some extra features in terms of vehicle management that you don’t get with the Accord such as an auxiliary power outlet, optional remote engine starting and Telematics navigation assistance, and it’s easy to see why so many like to go for the Malibu over the Accord.
Both cars can handle five people in the car, but there’s a bit more space in the Malibu in terms of leg room – especially in the back.
Those extra inches can make a big difference to comfort, and it’s safe to say that this lives up to its reputation as a safety-first vehicle.
With everything that’s included in both cars, they both make a good purchase. If you want the car that comes out on top, though, it’s safe to say that the Chevrolet Malibu does just that.
