2018 Chevrolet Malibu vs 2018 Nissan Altima in Midwest City, OK
Pictured above is the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu with optional features.
With so many midsize sedans vying for your attention, it can be difficult to know which one truly offers everything that you’re looking for. To put your mind at ease, your reliable dealer, David Stanley Auto Group, is here to help by presenting the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu! To demonstrate our conviction that the Malibu is the cream of the crop, we’re comparing it to the 2018 Nissan Altima. Let the battle begin!
As you climb inside the 2018 Malibu, you’ll quickly notice that it offers plenty of space for you and your passengers. Everyone can come along and enjoy the ride, as the backseat supplies your crew with 38.1 inches of legroom and 53.4 inches of hip room. Even if you plan on being on the road all day, you won’t have to deal with complaints from those sitting behind you or take frequent stops just so they can stretch their legs. In comparison, your journeys might be a little interrupted in the sedan from Nissan, as the Altima only provides 36.1 and 52.1 inches of rear leg and hip room, respectively. If you’re looking for the sedan with a more spacious interior, the Malibu has you covered!
Of course, you’ll also want to be sure that the ride you choose can supply the exhilarating performance you desire when cruising down I-40. When we pop the hood of the 2018 Chevy Malibu, we find a standard 1.5L turbocharged engine at the heart of this ride. Producing 184 lb.-ft. of torque, you’ll feel the power of this sedan from the moment put the key in the ignition and rev the engine. To compare, the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder model equipped in the Nissan Altima only manages to generate 177 lb.-ft. of torque. If that weren’t enough, you won’t even need to sacrifice efficiency for the superior performance in the Malibu, as it achieves the same 27 MPG city1 fuel rating as the sedan from Nissan.
Finally, you’ll want to be certain that you and everyone else on board will be protected from harm when on the road. While both the Chevy Malibu and Nissan Altima offer a range of standard and available safety features, the sedan from Chevy offers one advancement that can’t be found in its rival. In the Malibu, you can take advantage of the available Teen Driver2 system, which makes it easier for parents to encourage good driving habits in young drivers. With the custom settings, the Malibu can give warnings when it exceeds a predetermined speed, set limits on audio volume, and create an in-vehicle report to track your child’s performance. You won’t be able to find this innovative advancement in the Altima, demonstrating Chevy’s serious commitment to safety!
In the battle between the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu vs 2018 Nissan Altima in Midwest City, OK, the sedan from Chevrolet took the title in the end. You can learn more about the Malibu by giving our team at a call at 405-632-3600 to ask a question or schedule a test drive. We hope to see you soon!

Amazing Salesman





“ “ I had an amazing salesman Josue!!! He worked with me and found me the perfect truck for even a more amazing price! I had just been in a car accident not even a week before hand and knew I was going to have to buy another. He was very understanding. Usually when you say you don't have the money right now a sales person would try to dump you off as quick as they found you. He didn't. And he didn't pressure me at all either. He gave me time to make my decisions and dealt with all my questions and explained everything I needed to know to a T!!! I got my truck a few weeks ago and he still lets me ask questions. If you want the best you absolutely must go to Josue at David Stanley Norman!!!!!!!! ”
