2019 Chevy Malibu vs. 2019 Ford Fusion

Both the Chevy Malibu and Ford Fusion offer a diverse range of engine options to satisfy different kinds of drivers, but the Ford never manages to match the Chevy for efficiency.

• Maximum Chevy Malibu MPG: Up to an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.
• Maximum Ford Fusion MPG: Up to an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway.

Whether navigating Wheaton traffic or cruising the highway between Winfield and Glendale Heights, the Ford is going to cost you more.

The latest midsize sedans need to stay competitive by offering standout features with even their entry-level trims, and the Chevy Malibu complies with:

• 8-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment System
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Smartphone Integration
• Keyless Entry and Ignition

Opt for the Ford Fusion and you’ll be forced to upgrade to a pricier trim level to have those features at your disposal.

The Chevy Malibu complements its fantastic list of standard features with several optional amenities unavailable with the Ford Fusion at any price, including:

• Teen Driver: This industry-first in-vehicle report card helps parents encourage better driving habits
• Wireless Charging Pad: When your smartphone is running low, simply place it on the wireless charging pad.
