The Cruze vs. The Malibu
Which Model is Right For You?
Choosing the right car in 2018 isn't always easy - especially when two incredible models like the 2018 Chevy Cruze and 2018 Chevy Malibu are available. While both these cars come with incredible power and individuality, it's important to understand what makes these two models different, and also what they have in common. When comparing the Chevy Cruze vs. the Chevy Malibu, it's essential to look at several characteristics, including fuel economy, price, space, and more. At Neessen Chevrolet Buick GMC , we'll break down the differences between the Cruze vs. Malibu, and help you find the car that's a perfect fit for you and your lifestyle.
Cruze vs. Malibu: Fuel Economy
Now more than ever, fuel economy is an essential factor to consider when buying a new or used vehicle. With gas prices on the rise, it's important that you get the most out of your vehicle, and the Chevy Cruze and Malibu don't disappoint. The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu's fuel economy clocks in at an impressive 27 miles-per-gallon city, and 36mpg highway. The 2018 Chevy Cruze also has an incredible fuel economy. The Cruze can reach 29 miles per gallon city, and 40 mpg highway. However, if you want even better fuel economy, each model offers a variety of different options that can offer even greater fuel efficiency. The Cruze can offer up to 52mpg highway with the turbo-diesel engine, and the 2018 Malibu Hybrid can reach up to 49 miles per gallon city. When it comes down to getting your money's worth, no matter what you choose between the Cruze vs. the Malibu, you'll be visiting the pump less and driving your vehicle more.

Cruze vs. Malibu: Space
Both the Cruze and the Malibu are equipped for everything from leisurely city driving to weekend adventures, and having enough space for both these activities is essential. The Malibu comes standard with 15.8 cubic feet of trunk space, and if you need more than that, the rear seats can fold back for even greater storage space. The Cruze comes in both a sedan and hatchback model, with the sedan having around 14.8 cubic feet in the trunk. The Cruze hatchback has even more space with 22.7 cubic feet in the trunk, and with the back seats folded, this space reaches up to 47.2 feet. When it comes to space between the 2018 Cruze vs. the 2018 Malibu, no matter what you need, you'll have more than enough space for it.
