Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi A6 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Chevrolet Malibu with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi A6, drivers may find the Chevrolet Malibu a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi A6 as you will with the Chevrolet Malibu, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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 Audi A6 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Malibu, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Audi A6 is a little wider than the Chevrolet Malibu, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Audi A6 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Chevrolet Malibu.

Handling
The Audi A6 has a larger turning radius than the Chevrolet Malibu, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi A6 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 Audi A6 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 Audi A6 and the Chevrolet Malibu.
