Chevrolet Impala
The Chevrolet Impala was the brand’s full-size sedan, positioned above the midsize Malibu in the lineup. With its spacious cabin and comfortable ride, the Impala had plenty to offer in its final year of production. Two well-equipped trims were available that year, both coming standard with features like an eight-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, multiple USB ports, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. You could also equip the Impala with luxury features such as leather seat trim, heated front seats, navigation, and an 11-speaker Bose® audio system. All Impalas came with front-wheel drive and a powerful V6 engine.

Tenth generation Chevrolet Impala
In 2014, Chevrolet introduced the 10th generation of the Impala, a nameplate that had been part of the brand’s lineup off and on since 1958. Sporting a fresh design influenced by the sporty Camaro, the new Impala was a dramatic departure from the model it replaced. The cabin changes were equally impressive, with the Impala gaining a more modern cabin with a sculpted dashboard highlighted by an available eight-inch central touchscreen display. Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® were added to the standard feature list in 2018.
From the time it launched, the 10th-generation Impala came standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with the option to upgrade to a more powerful 3.6-liter V6. Chevrolet also offered the hybrid eAssist powertrain, which delivered a healthy improvement in fuel economy; however, the hybrid was dropped from the lineup by 2015. The Impala was discontinued in 2020 following a decade of declining sales.
