2019 Chevrolet Impala review

1. Timeless appearance

The 2019 Impala commands attention from all angles with its good looks and timeless design. The sedan's body sports sculpted details and a power dome hood with bold quad taillamps while the Premier trim adds lower bodyside chrome moldings and dual-outlet exhaust with bright tips for a high-end appearance. The optional Midnight Edition Appearance Package (available on LT and Premier trims) adds even more allure with special 19-inch aluminum wheels with black-painted pockets and black Chevrolet badging.

2. Smart storage space

Hitting the road for a weekend of golf? The 2019 Impala's trunk boasts 18.8 cubic feet of storage, which can fit your clubs and luggage with room to spare. The standard 60/40-split-folding rear seatback also provides great versatility to carry longer items, like cross-country skis or a bicycle. If you need to stow valuables out of sight, there is an available hidden underfloor storage console on LT and higher trims. A standard lockable storage compartment is also tucked behind the eight-inch touchscreen display on all trim levels to keep your belongings secure and close-at-hand.

3. Interior comfort

Whether you are an empty-nester or a small family leading a busy lifestyle, the 2019 Chevy Impala caters with comfort. Offering seating for five, you'll have ample space to get around town with passengers in tow—any squabbles for room will fall silent with 39.8 inches of second-row legroom. In the front, the seats offer eight-way power adjustments to customize your driving position, while Premier trims also boast perforated leather upholstery and heated front seats for a touch of luxury. The optional Premier Convenience Package ups your comfort quotient with ventilated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, driver-seat memory, and more.

4. Two engine options

The 2019 Impala offers two powertrains, both paired to a six-speed automatic transmission: a 2.5L four-cylinder, delivering 197 hp and 191 lb.-ft. of torque, and a 3.6L V6 with 305 hp and 264 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2.5L four-cylinder comes standard on LS and LT trims, while the 3.6L V6 is available on LS and LT trims or standard on the Premier. The Impala's four-cylinder features stop/start technology that shuts down the engine in specific driving conditions to reduce fuel consumption. This means the 2.5L returns an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway with FWD, while the larger V6 earns an EPA-estimate of 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway with FWD.

5. Driver-friendly tech

For a base level trim, the 2019 Chevrolet Impala LS is very well-equipped with driver-friendly tech features, including a rearview camera and an eight-inch touchscreen display with Bluetooth® connectivity. There is also built-in 4G LTE WiFi

for up to seven devices and three USB ports—two in the center console and one behind the touchscreen display. The Premier trim adds even more tech-savvy touches, including navigation, wireless charging, and a 120-volt power outlet. Music aficionados are sure to appreciate the Bose^® Centerpoint^® Surround Sound premium audio system with 11-speakers, which fills the Impala Premier's cabin with crisp, clear tunes.
