2018 Toyota Prius vs 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid

Perhaps no vehicle segment in the entire automotive industry has seen such a boom in popularity over the past decade or so like the compact and hybrid car. More and more drivers are placing a higher importance on fuel efficiency and are turning to the smaller models like the compacts and hybrids to satisfy this need. To capitalize on this interest, vehicle brands and manufacturers have flooded the market with tons of models for drivers to choose from. With so many options, which ones stand out?

That's where we come in, we create these model comparison pages so that drivers can see how some of the most popular models in the most competitive segments stack up directly with one another. We find that it helps cut down on confusion by seeing key model information side-by-side. For this comparison, we're going to be looking at two of the most popular compact hybrid models available today, the 2018 Toyota Prius and 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid. Let's see which comes out on top!

Test Drive the 2018 Toyota Prius at Hesser Toyota in Janesville, Wisconsin, Today!

When you look at the performance metrics and measurements of both hybrid models, it's easy to see why both are so popular among drivers! Both compact hybrids offer impressive value when it comes to their affordability, fuel economy and interior space for passengers and cargo. However, when you look at the two side-by-side, it's clear that the 2018 Toyota Prius holds the edge over the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid.

Even though the 2018 Toyota Prius has a much lower starting MSRP than the 2018 Chevy Malibu Hybrid, the Prius still outperforms the Malibu Hybrid in key categories like fuel economy and interior space. So, not only will the 2018 Prius save you money in the short-term, but in the long-term as well with its much better fuel efficiency.

As great as those specifications and measurements may be, they don't matter much if the car isn't also safe. Thankfully, the 2018 Toyota Prius is also one of the safest vehicles on the road thanks to its wealth of advanced safety features and driver-assist technologies. Available features include:

  • Lane Departure Alert 
  • Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control 
  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection 
  • Blind Spot Monitor 
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
