Is the Malibu the Best Mid-Size Car?
While we sell Chevy's, we have a great respect for the Ford company. However, we think they will continue to try to meet the level of quality and sophistication of our vehicles. The fact is, a Chevy provides you with outstanding durability, reliability and convenience features. We also think our vehicles look incredible. If you've never driven a Chevy, you have to come down and see the new Malibu in person. You'll be shocked by the responsiveness and handling. The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu and the 2018 Ford Fusion are both great cars, but we think the best value is available at our Courtesy Chevrolet dealership in Phoenix AZ. Come down and compare the Chevrolet Malibu to the Ford Fusion so that you can find the best value and deal for your situation.
Compelling Looks and Design
While the Ford has a nice and lean body, it doesn't have the attractive looks of the Malibu. The Malibu is designed to impress, and it has more character and functionality than the Ford equivalent. Come down to our dealership to get to know this vehicle in person and you'll begin to understand exactly what we mean. The smart design of the Chevy makes it get superior gas mileage on both the city and the highway. You'll also get an extra two inches on the length of the Malibu, which results in an impressive 15.8-inch trunk volume while also giving the passengers a bit more space to work with. The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu and the 2018 Ford Fusion are both great cars, but the Malibu at our Courtesy Chevrolet dealership in Phoenix AZ offers the best design features. Compare the Chevrolet Malibu to the Ford Fusion so that you can find the best value and deal for your situation.
Malibu Offers Better Mechanical Features
Come down and explore the Malibu, and you'll discover it has some incredible mechanical features. For starters, you'll get an electric rack and pinion system compared to the older rack and pinion system used on the Ford models. The Malibu is also about 450 pounds lighter, which means the Malibu is going to feel more zippy and light on its feet. When you consider the higher weight of the Ford and the lower torque, you'll begin to understand why we think the Chevy is far superior. On the Chevy, you get a 184-pound-feet of torque 1.5-liter engine with 160 horsepower. Compare that to the 2.5-liter, gas-hungry 175-horsepower engine with 175 pound-feet of torque on the Ford. The extra weight of the Ford makes this kind of engine a requirement.
Safety Ratings
Both vehicles have good safety ratings. However, the Malibu beats out the Ford in several key areas. With the Malibu, you have a higher overall front barrier crash rating. While the overall rating on the Ford is 1-star lower than the Malibu, when you start to get into the details, the Malibu begins to look even better. The frontal barrier crash rating on the passenger side really takes the Ford's safety down a notch with a 3-star rating.
If you need a reliable, powerful and fun car to drive, we think that the Malibu is definitely your best option. The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu and the 2018 Ford Fusion are both great cars, but the Malibu has better handling, safety and overall efficiency.
