2023 Nissan Altima vs. 2023 Chevrolet Malibu
For those looking for a new, spacious midsize car, the 2023 Nissan Altima is an affordable yet appealing vehicle to consider. With great fuel economy, beautiful cabin interior, and a long array of standard features, the Altima is a worthy investment. Let us explore more of its features and other aspects that it has to offer in the following comparison post against the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu.
Design & Style
The 2023 Nissan Altima has been revamped to include a much more elegant cabin. It makes use of soft-touch materials for its surfaces which look pretty and feel comfy. There are also touches of wood accents which make the overall look of the Altima to appear modern and fancy. The Altima supports up to five travelers on upholstered seats across two rows with heat and power adjustments in the front. Head and legroom are both sufficient even for taller folks driving or traveling.
The 2023 Malibu has not seen that much of an improvement in comparison with its 2022 model. Its interior leaves plenty to be desired, with a cabin looking outdated and so much needed to be revamped. Overall, the Malibu’s interior quality is decent and could use more work. The car supports five people on two rows of seats with adequate leg and headroom.
Technology & Safety
As standard, the Nissan Altima comes packed with tech features comprising an analog gauge cluster, a 7-inch touch screen display, six speakers, a USB port, and Bluetooth. For safety, the car comes equipped with tech like rear parking sensors, rearview camera, lane departure warning, driver attentiveness monitor, collision warning, pedestrian detection, and auto high beams.
