Overview
The 2014 Chevrolet Impala Hybrid Sedan fares well in the fullsize sedan segment. Adding $2,275 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the Malibu Hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $29,135 and is offered in two trims. The engine on service here is a familiar 2.4L Inline-4 engine supported by a 15-hp electric motor. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, it makes 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 30 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 29 MPG, making the increase in sticker price worth it. The performance of the Impala Hybrid also improves here, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 MPH in 7.5 seconds. Chevrolet offers the same 7 colors for the Impala Hybrid. The Impala Hybrid indirectly competes against the midsize sedan class counterparts such as the Kia Optima Hybrid, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, and the Toyota Camry Hybrid.
