Overview

The 2011 Chevrolet Impala Sedan is a fullsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $24,495. For that price, it mainly competes with the Toyota Avalon Sedan and the Ford Taurus Sedan. Buyers can also consider options from the midsize sedan segment like the Hyundai Azera Sedan. Between 3 trims, the Impala Sedan offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.5L V6 capable of making 211 horsepower and 216 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 224 horsepower-making 3.9L V6 engine. Both engines are mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Impala Sedan reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.0 seconds with the base engine, which gets pumped up to 7.8 seconds with the stronger engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Impala Sedan can manage a combined fuel economy of between 21 and 23 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 7 striking colors the Impala Sedan comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2011 Chevrolet Impala Sedan is a super-spacious and comfortable car in its segment. There are three trims offered and we recommend getting the mid-level LT trim. It comes equipped with more standard features over the base trim including dual-zone manual climate control, an upgraded trip computer, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and Bluetooth controls.
