2012 Chevrolet Malibu: What is the size of the trunk and cargo space?

The 2012 Chevrolet Malibu is known for the truncated look of its trunk, and You'll be giving up some cargo space as a result. While the total volume is 15.1 cubic feet, the idea that the Malibu is considered a mid-size and that's all it offers is a bit boggling. This is more in line with what You'll find in a typical compact car, though perhaps on the upper end. Also coming in around the same number is the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze, so You won't see much space advantage there. If You want a bit of a hauling upgrade, You may want to consider the 2012 Chevy Impala -- You won't get much bigger than the 18.6 cubic foot trunk without upsizing to a subcompact SUV.
