The Malibu’s engine puts out 163 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque; the Accord’s engine gets 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. Both cars have similar high fuel economy ratings and offer upgraded 2.0-liter engines that boost their outputs even more.
Though both the 2021 Chevy Malibu and the 2021 Accord offer Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto, the Malibu’s infotainment software is always praised for being easy to use, responsive, and engaging, while the Accord’s system is often noted for being tricky to navigate on the go.

The 2021 Malibu, however, offers more rear headroom, more shoulder room in both rows, and more headroom in the rear row. The trunks of these sedans are within a cubic-foot of each other in terms of size, so you’ll have plenty of space to stow daily bags or even suitcases.
