You likely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Toyota than with the Chevrolet Malibu, as both offer comparable mileage ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Chevrolet Malibu offers a bit more head room than the Toyota, there honestly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Toyota provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Chevrolet Malibu, there really isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Toyota Camry than the Chevrolet Malibu because of its larger tank. The Toyota Camry and the Chevrolet Malibu compete for the same parking spaces.

The Chevrolet Malibu and the Toyota have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Toyota. The Chevrolet Malibu has no lessons to learn when it comes to torque from the Toyota Camry.
