Malibu Vs Accord: Performance

As competitively capable sedans, the Chevy Malibu and the Honda Accord have a lot in common. Both models come standardly equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, a continuously variable transmission, and front-wheel drive.

The two models begin to differ under the hood, though, when it comes to their available equipment. The Malibu offers a hybrid trim level that’s powered by a 1.8L hybrid SIDI engine that delivers an impressive EPA-estimated 49 city/43 highway MPG1.

The Accord also offers a hybrid trim level with fuel-saving hybrid equipment. However, you’ll only get an EPA-estimated 47 city MPG with this model’s hybrid equipment.

Malibu Vs Accord: Comfort

Inside the Chevrolet Malibu, you’ll find a wide array of comfort features. This model ups the standards for comfort by providing standard heated seats for both front seat passengers and rear outboard seats. The vehicle also offers a handy dual-zone automatic climate control system.

With the Honda Accord, you’ll also have access to a dual-zone automatic climate control system. However, you’ll miss out on quite a few other comfort features, including standard heated seats. You’ll have to upgrade in order to get heated front seats. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to opt for heated rear outboard seats because this model does not offer them.

Malibu Vs Accord: Technology

Not only is the interior of the Chevy Malibu comfortable, it’s also tech-savvy. The car is decked out with a variety of helpful technology features starting with a Chevrolet MyLink® infotainment system. This advanced system bundles a large 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen and a variety of connectability options.

With this system, you can use Bluetooth® to make hands-free phone calls, as well as access your favorite smartphone apps using Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. This system even offers a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot.

As for the Honda Accord, you’ll still have access to an available 8-inch infotainment system. The Accord’s infotainment system also offers Bluetooth® and smartphone app integration. However, you’ll miss out on Wi-Fi connectivity, meaning you’ll have to use your own personal data or wait until you get to your destination in order to connect.
