Vehicle Overview
The body style of the 2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited retained the look of the previous ninth-generation (2006-2013) models and, when new, was primarily intended for rental and fleet use when new. Despite this, the Impala is far from a stripped-down sedan. With standard V6 power and a host of great trim levels from the base LS to the top-spec LTZ, you're likely to find something to love about the 2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited.

5 reasons to buy the 2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited
1. Standard V6 power
While the base engine in the regular 2016 Impala was a 2.5L four-cylinder, the Impala Limited gets standard V6 power across all three trim levels. Specifically, you'll get a 3.6L six-cylinder making a robust 300 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. That means that any 2016 Impala Limited you come across on our lots will be a great highway cruising companion.
2. Well-equipped standard trim level
Check out the Impala Limited in the base LS trim and you'll find that there is nothing basic about it. It has standard comfort and convenience features like power seats, locks, windows, and mirrors, plus navigation, Bluetooth® connectivity, and more. You'll also find a lot of other standard features such as 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, and a six-speed automatic transmission.
3. Thrifty performance
When you're out on your next big road trip, you'll want not only power but also decent fuel efficiency. The 2016 Impala Limited, with the 300 horsepower V6 gets an EPA-estimated 29 mpg highway and 18 mpg city, for a combined 22 mpg.
That means fewer stops and more fun out on the open road.4. Plentiful interior space
The 2016 Impala Limited has you covered whether you are heading to the carpool lane or school drop-off line. With 18.6 cu-ft of cargo space in the trunk, it can tackle your luggage, and with 37.6 inches of rear legroom, your passengers will be comfortable too.
5. Great available trim levels
If you want a bit more features, check out the mid-spec LT and the top-spec LTZ trim levels and you'll find a lot to love. The LT adds standard equipment like remote start (when equipped with OnStar® functionality), an upgraded Bose® sound system, heated front seats, a sunroof, and a rear spoiler.
