2020 Chevrolet Malibu vs. Its Competition

2020 Chevrolet Malibu
Brian León Brian León Contributing Writer

The Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Nissan Altima are mid-size sedan stalwarts, and each have been recently redesigned, offering great tech, crash test scores, and safety equipment.

Of the three, only the Altima is offered with available all-wheel drive.

The sleek Mazda 6 is the most fun mid-size sedan of the bunch to drive and is a less common sight (in rental fleets or otherwise).

Hyundai’s bold-looking Sonata offers something different from conventional mid-size sedans, though its styling isn’t for everyone.
