Comfort
The Chevrolet Malibu offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Hyundai Elantra with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
The Hyundai Elantra will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Malibu.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Chevrolet Malibu is somewhat more expensive than the Hyundai Elantra.
Dimensions
The Chevrolet Malibu is a little wider than the Hyundai Elantra, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze.
If you go with the Chevrolet Malibu, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Elantra.
Handling
The Chevrolet Malibu has a larger turning radius than the Hyundai Elantra, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Chevrolet Malibu does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Hyundai Elantra.
