STANDARD AUDIO SYSTEM
2.0L EPA-ESTIMATED MPG
The 2022 Chevy Malibu and the 2022 Honda Accord each offer multiple powertrain options, including a standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and an available 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. When properly equipped with the 2.0L engine, both models produce around 250 horsepower, so you’ll have all the power you need for an exciting ride.
If you choose the more powerful 2.0L engine, you’ll be able to take the fun farther in the Chevy Malibu. It achieves an EPA-estimated 22 city/33 highway MPG. When the Honda Accord is equipped with its 2.0L engine, it only achieves an EPA-estimated 22 city/32 highway MPG.
Additionally, the Malibu and the Accord both offer a front-wheel drivetrain and a continuously variable transmission. These transmissions are designed without standard gear ratios to help optimize every gear shift to maximize power output and fuel efficiency.
The 2022 Chevy Malibu and the 2022 Honda Accord offer five spacious seats with more than 41 inches of front legroom and more than enough room in the back. You and all your loved ones will be able to stay ideally cozy with available amenities, including:
- Leather seating surfaces
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Power-adjustable driver’s seat
- Power-adjustable front-passenger seat
Still, the Malibu offers a generous 58.5 inches of shoulder room in the front row, making rides easy and comfortable when you need a bit of room to stretch out. Riding in the Honda Accord is a bit of a squeeze. It only offers just 58.3 inches of front shoulder room.
The 2022 Chevy Malibu and the 2022 Honda Accord have a lot in common when it comes to technology. Both models sport intuitive infotainment systems with the following features:
- Bluetooth® for wireless phone calling and audio streaming
- Smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- Standard rearview cameras for easy backing up and parking
- Available turn-by-turn directions on the touchscreen display
As you connect your mobile device to take calls or listen to your favorite music, you’ll want supreme sound quality. In this department, the Malibu edges out the Accord. While the Honda comes with a capable 4-speaker system, the Chevy comes standard with a 6-speaker sound system, providing premium sound quality on all your drives.
As you’ve learned, the 2022 Chevy Malibu comes out on top with its ideal balance of performance, interior comfort, and advanced technology features. Now that you’ve had a preview of what this model has to offer, it’s time to get behind the wheel and experience it for yourself.
