Chevrolet Impala Sedan 2014


The Chevrolet Impala is a comfortable, convenient and practical car with ample room and a quiet ride. It has neat and clean lines with a fresh style that is pleasing to the eye. The Impala is all-new for 2014.

 
The Impala is a full-size front-wheel drive sedan with seating for five people. Available in LS, LT, and LTZ trims and with a choice of three engines the Impala is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a 195-hp, direct-injected 2.5-liter inline-4 engine. Available engines include a 182-hp 2.4-liter inline-4 with e-Assist and a 303-hp 3.6-liter V6 engine. Standard equipment includes front bucket seats, StabiliTrak, projector headlamps,18-inch wheels, new multi-link rear suspension and Bluetooth. 

The Impala now has 10 airbags, including front, side, side curtains, driver and passenger, and rear side airbags. Available features include My Link with audio streaming, a sunroof with an additional skylight, 19-inch wheels, upgraded stereo with concealed storage behind the screen, push-button start, and navigation. The Impala is also available with an extensive list of safety features including Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Side Blind Zone Alert, and Collision Mitigation Braking.
The Chevrolet Impala has been redesigned for 2014.

It's got a new design, it's got new objectives, it's got a five-star crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's a central part of what could be Chevrolet's "strongest, most competitive retail sedan lineup ever," and now the 2014 Chevrolet Impala has added Turnaround Artist to its resume, going from last to first in Consumer Reports' large sedan ratings.

As if it didn't earn itself a couple of beers for that alone, the triumph is all the more noteworthy because the Impala is the first domestic sedan in 20 years to reach that position. CR only began rating cars with a score in 1992, and since then the number one slot has been from Japan 11 times, Europe nine times.


The Impala conquered with features like its "surprisingly agile handling," "excellent braking," "generally high-quality materials" and a technology interface that is "refreshingly intuitive and easy to use." Going beyond its segment in worth, whereas the previous Impala scored a 63, this one scored a 95; only the BMW 135i coupe and Tesla Model S have scored higher. And wait until you get to the part where it's considered "competitive with... the Audi A6 and Lexus LS460L...."
