What’s under the hood of the Malibu and the Altima?
With the 2022 Malibu, you’ll find a standard 1.5L 4-cylinder engine and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Together, they churn out 160 horsepower, a decent output that helps you accelerate on the highway.
Would you like a boost in power? Choose the 2022 Altima to feel the unbridled strength of 188 horsepower from its standard 2.5L 4-cylinder Direct Injection Gasoline engine. This engine channels the power through an Xtronic CVT®, which balances power and efficiency for an all-around thrilling driving experience.
When summer thunderstorms roll in or those off-road trails beckon, confidently take on the road ahead with available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Available with the 2022 Altima, this advanced drivetrain monitors the current road conditions and distributes the power among four wheels. By doing so, it senses which tires need more traction and directs the torque to the appropriate one.
As for the 2022 Malibu, it doesn’t have an available all-wheel drive system. Instead, it comes with a standard front-wheel drive system, which is not as adaptable as Altima’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
When you’re cruising down the highway, activate cruise control in the Chevy Malibu or the Nissan Altima. Once this system is activated, it will automatically maintain a preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you.
With the 2022 Nissan Altima, this feature gets a major upgrade in the form of available ProPILOT Assist. This system works like adaptive cruise control; however, it goes the extra mile by automatically adapting to the flow of traffic.
It can even bring the Altima to a stop and then take it back up to speed once the cars ahead start moving again. On the open highway, it can help you stay centered within your lane and around curves and bends in the road.
Once you arrive at your destination, it’s time to easily maneuver into a parking spot with the assistance of rear-view cameras.
Standard in both the Nissan Altima and the Chevy Malibu, the RearView Monitor clearly displays what’s behind your vehicle to help you reverse safely.
To enhance this system, the Nissan Altima features an available Intelligent Around View® Monitor. This system uses strategically placed cameras to generate a bird’s-eye view of your Nissan for easier parking. While the Malibu does have an available HD Rear Vision Camera, it doesn’t have as many angles as the Altima’s upgraded camera system.
While the Nissan Altima and the Chevy Malibu are both great sedans, the 2022 Nissan Altima pulls ahead due to its thrilling performance and cutting-edge safety systems. As such, our team is confident it’s a great choice for drivers near Woburn, MA.
