Overview

The 2015 Chevrolet Impala is a fullsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $27,885. For that price, it mainly competes with the Ford Taurus, the Nissan Maxima,

and the Toyota Avalon. Between 3 trims, the Impala offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.5L inline-4 engine capable of making 195 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 305 horsepower-making 3.6L V6 engine. These power figures drop to 230 horsepower when running on CNG. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Impala reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.7 seconds with the V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Impala can manage a combined fuel economy between 21 and 25 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the Impala comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The base trim is quite basic, whereas the top trim carries a hefty price tag. Instead of shelling out extra money on the top LTZ trim, the best way to spend it is by opting for the mid-level LT trim which brings in dual-zone front climate control, a leather steering wheel, bluetooth connectivity, internet radio smartphone app compatibility, and a lot more to the table.
