Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Malibu than the Volvo S60.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volvo S60, the Chevrolet Malibu may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Malibu as you will with the Volvo S60, 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). Based on MSRP, the Chevrolet Malibu is clearly a better financial choice over the Volvo S60.
Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Malibu is much slimmer than the Volvo S60, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet Malibu, which is slightly longer than the Volvo S60.
Handling
The Chevrolet Malibu has about the same turning radius as the Volvo S60, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Malibu is significantly less powerful than the Volvo S60. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Chevrolet Malibu does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Volvo S60.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Malibu and the Volvo S60.
