All drivers are searching for a reliable vehicle in addition to getting a good deal. We at Honda of Chantilly understand how this could make shoppers anxious, so we’ve put together guides to help you choose. Take the 2022 Honda Accord, for example. This midsize sedan is efficient and has the specifications you need to commute smoothly down streets like Stringfield Road. But how does it compare to the 2022 Chevrolet Malibu? Read this overview to see how these cars compare. 

Capabilities

The common denominators between the 2022 Accord and 2022 Malibu are the standard powertrains. Both sedans have standard 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine blocks, but they kick out different ratings. The Honda Accord produces 192 horsepower¹ and 192 lb.-ft. of torque², but the Chevy Malibu cranks out 160 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. Each car also has a standard Continuously Variable Transmission. But if you’re looking for a higher trim level, you’ll see the differences even more. For example, the Accord Sport carries a 10-speed automatic transmission, and the Malibu Premier has a 9-speed automatic system. This gives the Accord more gear ratios for smoother shifting while coasting on highways like Interstate 66. 

Fuel Efficiency

Cars like the 2022 Honda Accord and 2022 Chevy Malibu are built for dependability and efficiency. The engineers of both manufacturers installed a FWD system in the drivetrain and focused on the strength more. Plus, there’s a correlation between transmission and fuel efficiency. In other words, the estimated mileage is related to what engine and transmission are under your hood. The 2022 Accord produces a 30/38/33 MPG city/hwy/combined³ fuel rating when the 1.5L system and CVT are paired together. On the other hand, the 2022 Malibu’s 1.5L engine has a gas mileage rating of 29/36/32 MPG city/hwy/combined⁴. So if you want to reduce the number of times you stop for fuel after commuting on Fair Lakes Parkway all week, then the Accord may be a better choice.

Interior & Exterior Features

While 2022 models are technologically advanced, there are some factors that separate these two cars. For instance, the dual-zone automatic climate control is standard in all Accord variations, but the Malibu doesn’t share this feature across all its iterations. You’ll find an 8-inch touchscreen in each sedan as well, while the only difference between them is the operating system. Although these vehicles are midsize sedans, they have different components, such as the makeup of the front grille and headlamp bulbs. The standard wheel size for the Chevy Malibu is 16-inch aluminum parts with all-seasoned tires, but the Honda Accord has 17-inch units, allowing it to stand slightly higher than its American-made counterpart.
