Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Malibu than the Cadillac CT4, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Cadillac CT4 and the Chevrolet Malibu in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac CT4 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 Cadillac CT4 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Malibu, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac CT4 is much slimmer than the Chevrolet Malibu, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Cadillac CT4 is slightly shorter than the Chevrolet Malibu, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Cadillac CT4 has about the same turning radius as the Chevrolet Malibu, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac CT4 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
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Cadillac CT4 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Chevrolet Malibu.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Cadillac CT4 and the Chevrolet Malibu.
