Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Malibu than the Alfa Romeo Giulia, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the Chevrolet Malibu in the front seats.

Convenience
The Chevrolet Malibu requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Alfa Romeo Giulia, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Alfa Romeo Giulia will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Malibu, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Alfa Romeo Giulia is about the same width as the Chevrolet Malibu. If you go with the Alfa Romeo Giulia, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Chevrolet Malibu.

Handling
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has a smaller turning radius than the Chevrolet Malibu, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Alfa Romeo Giulia has a much more powerful engine than the Chevrolet Malibu. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has much less torque than the Chevrolet Malibu, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the Chevrolet Malibu.
