Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Malibu than the BMW i4 Gran Coupe, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW i4 Gran Coupe, drivers may find the Chevrolet Malibu a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

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 BMW i4 Gran Coupe will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Malibu, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW i4 Gran Coupe is about the same width as the Chevrolet Malibu. The BMW i4 Gran Coupe is slightly shorter than the Chevrolet Malibu, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW i4 Gran Coupe has a significantly larger turning radius than the Chevrolet Malibu, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW i4 Gran Coupe 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.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW i4 Gran Coupe and the Chevrolet Malibu.
