Overview

The 2019 Chevrolet Impala is a midsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $28,895. For that price, it mainly competes with the Kia Cadenza, the Ford Taurus, and the Chrysler 300. Between 3 trims, the Chevrolet Impala offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.5L Inline-4 engine capable of making 197 horsepower and 191 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 Chevrolet Impala reaches 60 MPH from zero in 8.7 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.2 seconds with the V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Chevrolet Impala can manage a combined fuel economy of between 22 and 25 MPG. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the Chevrolet Impala comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The LT trim takes its spot as the most viable option in the lineup. It comes packed with a decent amount of features and it can also be upgraded with a V6 engine. Moreover, the myriad of package options that it can be equipped with brings it very closely equipped to the top-end models of some cars. It only lacks some advanced driving aids like forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control which are available only on the Premium trim.
