Overview
The 2017 Chevrolet Impala is a fullsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $27,500. For that price, it mainly competes with the Toyota Avalon, the Kia Cadenza, and the Buick LaCrosse. Between 3 trims, the Impala offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.5L Inline-4 engine capable of making 196 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 305 horsepower-making 3.6L V6 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission. The Impala reaches 60 MPH from zero in 8.7 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.5 seconds with the 3.6L V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Impala can manage a combined fuel economy between 25 and 22 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Impala comes in really pull you towards itself.
