2020 Subaru Legacy vs. 2020 Chevrolet Malibu
It is hard to deny the fact that car brands like Chevrolet and Subaru have admirers across the world. This is particularly true when you have models like the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu and the 2020 Subaru Legacy. Both are known for cutting-edge features, but Subaru may have an upper hand.
Design & Style
The Chevrolet Malibu sedan can seat up to 5 people. There’s plenty of room in the front seats, but you may feel lack of support and get uncomfortable on extended trips. To get a power-adjustable seat, you need to jump two trim levels. Interior quality is a bit subpar for Malibu, as the design seems outdated and most materials are low-class. Surfaces are covered in hard plastics.
The Subaru Legacy comes standard with a 5-seater accommodation, featuring comfortable seats, with excellent visibility on offer. There’s ample headroom and legroom on offer, and even taller folks can enjoy the coziness. The interior has undergone a complete redesign, and it looks great with high-appealing materials on offer.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Chevy Malibu comes standard with the Infotainment 3 interface, which replaces the MyLink system. The 8-inch screen sits prominently on the center stack, but the display resolution is not as crisp as some other displays.

All other features are optional, including the Teen Driver system that allows you to set speed and audio volume limits.
