Mercedes-Benz and Chevrolet are two of the oldest and most respected automakers globally, so the release of their new compacts, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and 2022 Chevrolet Malibu, is a big deal. Both cars have been selling well since their release, but which one should you choose? This comparison will help you decide by comparing all of the major features that both cars offer. We’ll take a look at the design, interior space, performance, and more to show you why choosing the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class over the 2022 Chevrolet Malibu will make you love it as the winner.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

Both 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and 2022 Chevrolet Malibu have a sporty look and feel, which gives them an aura of being prepared for action no matter where they go. The headlights on both vehicles are rectangular instead of round, but both of them also have LED lighting that gives off a stylish effect when in use. And speaking of effects, all exterior indicators on each vehicle come with LED lights for a futuristic appeal to each one’s overall design—and there is nothing out there like either of these two cars! On top of their sleek and aggressive exteriors, both vehicles also come with tinted windows so you can remain private wherever you go and add further protection from sun exposure if that’s what you prefer!

• Interior Design

This is going to be a very exciting battle, as these two cars are so similar in almost every regard that they might as well be called twins! If you’re looking for an interior with more than one color of paint available, then you should go with the 2022 A-Class, since it offers three colors of leather and four colors of wood veneer, along with two different kinds of aluminum to choose from. On top of that, it also gives you nine ways to adjust your seats! In comparison, the 2022 Chevrolet Malibu has just five colors available for leather and four colors for its wood veneer option.

Technology & Safety

The most significant difference between the two cars is that the Mercedes-Benz A-Class comes standard with hands-free technology and a lane assist system, which is extremely useful in congested traffic or for driving in unfamiliar terrain. Although both vehicles are equipped with safety features that protect passengers and drivers from injury in case of an accident, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class has more advanced features than the 2022 Chevrolet Malibu. Drivers can prevent and respond to accidents with these features in place without sacrificing vehicle safety before police arrive on the scene.

Performance

Both 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class and 2022 Chevrolet Malibu are equipped with a 188 @ 5,800 rpm horsepower engine, and in base form, they can reach 0 to 60 mph in 11 seconds (2022 MB) and 13 seconds (2022 Chevy). The difference here is that the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class features a supercharged, turbocharged 2.0L 4 Cylinder, while the 2022 Chevy has a naturally aspirated 1.5L DOHC I4 Turbo engine. Hence, overall performance is close but not equal. Also, at high speeds, you’ll notice that your 2100 MB can pull away from your 2022 Chevy without much effort on its supercharger.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class may not have all of its competition’s safety, entertainment, and practical features. Still, it compensates with a bold new design and captivating performance to get people in and keep them there—and that’s precisely what car buyers want right now. If you don’t need as much space as competitors provide, or you’re looking for a unique style that’ll turn heads, then look no further than the 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
