Love the impala. This segment will be sorely missed.😞

Regardless of reliability issues, and non-V8 engine options, I’ll miss the Impala name.

I love my Impala! What a blessing.

I own a 14 with a V6 and my mileage is total ass lol. Do you have the four cylinder?

Having owned this car for a while (2014 LTZ V6 Model) I would say that it is a great car, there were a couple minor under-warranty fixes, but that's what you can expect with an all new car. The car currently has 65k, and I still love it. I average a respectable 27mpg, mostly highway, and on longer trips I average over 30mpg. I love the styling inside and out. The ride is fairly smooth, not as nice as the 2005 Buick LeSabre it replaced, but is alright, and does feel much more planted to the road. If they released a wagon, with AWD, and sold it as a "crossover", sales would surely go up. Personally I feel this body style could have taken a wagon body very well, without bringing shame to the name. That will not happen though. Instead we will see the Impala nameplate return in 2025 on some ugly electric SUV crossover, with "retro" styling, to try and justify putting the name on it.

Why buy a Buick Lacrosse when there's this Impala? THIS is a true game changer.

I have a 2015 2LT with the V6. People, this car is heavy but is fast for it's size and on the highway accelerates very nice. People wanting V8 and Rear wheel drive don't understand that the market for that kind of car is dwindling except for the high end luxury segment. Remember the Government is requiring higher and higher GPM ratings. All this car needs is AWD and the newer 8 speed transmissions that will be coming out shortly. This isn't a performance or sports sedan it's a very large family sedan. Great car and one of the best cars I have driven. Do I wish it had the Twin Turbo AWD Caddy V^ engine, of course but you will not see that in a Chevy.

@focused 313 Chrysler likely loses money on every V8 sedan they make. All of the platform and tooling costs are paid for by all of the V6 Chargers and 300s that leave the factory... almost 90% of LD platform sales. That are heavier, slower, and less roomy than the Impala.

Before we bought our 15 yukon xl we looked at this for fun and took it for a test drive. I gotta say it was a good car. The quality and ride felt nice.

I would definitely buy this car. Hands down.

I have a 2015 Impala w the sunroof and I love it!!!!! I really don't feel like I'm driving a 7 yr old car since all of the models from 2014-20 are basically the same. I think the only difference is the color options.

It seems some people fail to realize this is a large sedan, not the typical mid-size (such as Camry and Accord) or compact sedan (such as Corolla and Civic). It does seem like General Motors did their homework, as it's quite an upgrade above its predecessor in pretty much every way.

I do agree with Slash and others. I own the 2014 Chevrolet Impala 2LTZ and, like every other review out there, it absolutely gets better numbers than they gave it. Car and Driver got 0-60 in 6 seconds, and mpgomatic on here got a little over 6 seconds as well. It also feels significantly better when it comes to handling vs the previous generation Impala. Consumer Reports found it to get a respectable 54 mph in their avoidance maneuver. I have tried it with and without manual mode and it is definitely at or just above 6 seconds and has a fantastic exhaust note for a V6. I have noticed that in a review of the Ford Taurus (not the SHO), they found it to be sporty, which is something that very few people agree with. So, I would survey several reviews before deciding on if a car is decent or not. I am glad that it is FWD, not RWD. If it wasn't FWD, I would hope it was AWD. Some of you fault it for not being a RWD V8, but the vast majority of buyers don't want a RWD V8 sedan in that car, especially not with my winter commutes. If you want a RWD V8, just buy the Chevrolet SS or a Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger instead. For me, I love the new Impala LTZ. Its not about numbers and how fast it can reach top speed. How often am I going to be going 100+ anyway? I also don't plan on doing a long, continual series of slalom maneuvers on my way to work, either. For me, it is sporty but also very solid and comfortable. The interior is fantastic, with an outstanding Bose sound system in a car that I found to be VERY good in winter. I was able to drive that Impala through 10 inches of unplowed snow without getting stuck or feeling like i was about to get stuck. My father has parkinson's and can't use most sedans because its hard for him to get in and out of, and he also doesn't feel comfortable inside them. He can easily get into and out of that 2014 Impala and feels very comfortable and relaxed. The fact that he can get into my car and enjoys it so much, well that makes it an outstanding car to me. That's fine if some of you don't like it, but you can't pan the vehicle universally just because you don't like a performance number on a computer screen. Just need to remember that this isn't a Camaro and isn't meant to be a track car.

I think these tests are conducted at altitude, as they're in Maryland. Motorweek's 0-60 and 1/4 mile times have always been a bit slower than other car reviewers, unless the manufacturer opts to have its performance read from their own specs sheet. Also, this car will never be offered in RWD or AWD. The Impala is produced on the W-body chassis, which GM has had in some form of production since the 90's. Cars that are produced on the W-body frame have only ever been FWD, and usually came with some shitty hydromatic 4 speed transmission and some under powered piece of shit engine (typically a 4 cylinder or V6). Even when GM did produce a sporty V8 model for their W-body Impala, they stuck it with the same shit 4 speed tranny used in cars with 4/6 cylinder engines. Believe it or not, in 2012 they started rolling out the current LTZ's 305hp V6/6-speed drivetrain for the 9th generation Impala. You can find 9th gen LTZ's with the same 305hp V6 and 6-speed transmission as this gen Impala. They ended up scrapping the V8 SS and the old 240hp 3.9 LTZ motor. I remember they were selling 2012/2013 LTZ Impala's brand spanking new for $15,000. The dealer I bought my SS from tried to get me in one... should've taken him on that offer, but instead I settled for the SS badge. Fucking mistake. Overall, this car is beautiful - a REAL improvement from previous generations. This is the prettiest looking Impala since the 60's - and even then I'd argue this is a better looking car in numerous ways. The performance is a bit laggy, but there's not much you can do with a FWD Impala. Trust me, I have the 303hp V8 SS model and it can be downright dangerous with all its traction/torque steer problems. Can't tell you how many times I've nearly ran it off the road or into a wall every time I floored it. If you look across the market, you'll find that most FWD cars (no matter how sporty) have about 200-275hp. That's the sweet spot where there's minimal torque steer and traction loss. After that, you start running into major safety issues. Most cars with 300hp+ have either AWD or they're RWD. This is where the Impala will start to fall short, because like I said, GM didn't think ahead far enough to implement some kind of AWD system. If Chevy really want to compete, they need to start making an AWD full-sized sedan. Unfortunately, they're balls deep into this W-body bullshit now, and it's too late to pull out. Maybe in 10 years they'll finally come around and offer something competitive with the Charger RT and Taurus SEL.

The 2000-2013 Impalas were on a W-body chassis, yes. The 2014+ Impalas are now on GM's Epsilon II platform with the XTS and Buick LaCrosse, not W-body anymore. The XTS and the LaCrosse both have AWD options, so its not impossible. I have noticed that when going full throttle, it doesn't have massive amounts of torque steer and actually feels very planted around corners, considerably better than a relative's 2009 Impala LTZ that I borrowed once. They definitely have improved the handling a LOT. Rarely do I ever have an issue where I have to do some hard acceleration and find myself trying to avert a disaster. Many reviewers have also noted the lack of torque steer as well. The newer Impalas share a lot of their parts with the XTS in regards to the front and rear suspensions now, though they do not have the other models' HiPer Strut or magnetic shocks. It also has a very nice electric steering implementation that works and feels infinitely better than the Malibu Maxx one that I had. It also was bumped up from the prior 300 to 305 with direct injection. It is not the exact same model as before but with new body styling, or else I would never have bought it. I would not say that they need to come up with something to compete with the Taurus SEL. When I drove that vehicle, it was larger than the new Impala, but with less room in back. It also didn't respond as quickly as the Impala or the 300/Charger, and handled as heavily as it looked. If someone wants an AWD large sedan that isn't the new Buick LaCrosse, the 300/Charger is obviously better than the Taurus AWD. For myself, it has a lot of power. Sure, some RWD V8 would have more performance, but I don't care about having some 400+ HP V8 with RWD, nor do I want one. For me, if its not going to be AWD it *has* to be FWD when I am owning a sedan in Minnesota. FWD feels so much better in winter conditions than a RWD does (regardless of winter or all-seasons), and that comes from personal experience. I have a father who suffers from parkinson's, and he can get into and out of this new Impala better than the other large sedan options I tried with him. Another important aspect of it is how reliable it has been. I have put 57,000 miles on it and have only needed routine maintenance, like the 50k mile tune-up. It also has never had issues turning over, even when it gets down to -30 here. Sure, there are faster AWD/RWD sedans out there with V8s, but this one is exactly what I was looking for in a large sedan and I have no regrets at all about buying it. It wasn't just about straight-line performance for me, after all.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my rant. That was a very informative post. It appears you're indeed correct. I didn't even think to double check because I didn't think GM would actually ever move the Impala to another platform. This intrigues me a lot. I think the new Impala is one of the most gorgeous cars on the market right now, and to hear that their new platform could support AWD at some point is exciting.

You're welcome. I could tell that you were ranting in response, but I do love discussions, so I replied with substance. I was so happy that they moved it to a new platform, and it has helped it so much. I would LOVE it if there was an AWD option in the future. They keep asking for my vehicle, too. I would be willing to trade it in for a new one, but they are hardly changing them year to year. I think if one of these yearly changes was an AWD option, or perhaps an 8-speed transmission, I would be willing to trade it in. The fact that the other large sedans on the platform have AWD options available gives me hope, but it is at least balanced well for a FWD vehicle. If I remember right, and i'm sure its not accurate, the Toyota Avalon has 37 or 38% of its weight in the rear, but the new Impala has 42% of it in rear. Not too bad for a FWD vehicle with a large engine up front, though I freely admit the numbers aren't accurate.

Had the prior generation as a rental. Drove well as a rental from Orlando to St. Augustine and back. Took in the Interstate miles well at high speeds. A/C on and absorbing the bumps of the A1A along the intercoastal to the Fort Matanzas state park. Was satisfied well enough.

I bought the 2014 Impala LTZ w/ 2LZ and the 19" wheels. I definitely agree with what you just said. I couldn't believe that they got 7.1 seconds to 60mph. Anytime I've tested, it has always been about 6 seconds, just like mpgomatic's test as well as others that are popping up on here.

But, to answer your question about the "55/45 split bench seat with center cushion and folding center armrest," two factors killed that off at all American car manufacturers: 1) The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) demanded that larger passenger-side airbags to accommodate that middle passenger be standard with that type of seating arrangement, and that was far more expensive to build, what with Instrument panels needing a redesign and bigger capacity of air pressure needed, no to mention deadly to infants in certain car seats (which was still at the time when parents at that time still thought it was okay to have their child up front with them) 2) Generation X and Millennials becoming of age to drive (or where the sales numbers still are with new cars these days) prefer the one-seat-for-each design and the security (particularly when cornering or driving in curves) that bucket seats inherently have. The center consoles also give more convenience in storage, phone compatibility with Apple and Android devices and seem to lend a greater (albeit false) sense of security or feeling safe.

Its called inflation. The cars don't cost more the dollar is worth less. If you want a compelling argument assume you want a new car, in this size, with similar or better power and performance then look around to see what else you can find. What you will find are cars with either similar prices or vastly different specifications. In other words I dare you to find the competition that dose what this car dose for less. Ten grand less to be exact.

For what it's worth, Consumer Reports says that the new Impala rides better than a Toyota Avalon and even a Lexus ES350, which costs probably about $12,000 more. They said the Impala is compatible with luxury cars in terms of ride and handling, it just doesn't have a big name badge on it.

I love impala

the traditional family sedan isn't getting much love as its previous generations

Is there a heated steering wheel option for the passenger? ;-)

Lots of options for 2014. Hide your weed behind the front display.

It would've been a lot nicer if the would've release a coupe version of this car.

+briandd27 I would love to see a Monte Carlo based off of this

Why do people comment on 0-60 with a family sedan? It's not supposed to be a race car.

The 2013 LT e85, that was rented burned the grass in our yard in 3 places.

This car will be missed 😞

The outside looks good, although I think maybe some round/roundish taillights would have been more interesting for a retro touch. The interior is a little overwrought, like most cars these days, but it's all right except for the hideous steering wheel. I was puzzled as to who bought the previous version at retail prices since the residual values are beyond atrocious. I don't know how or if Chevy is going to manage to reverse the public's perception. I don't think the Taurus has, for example.

No doubt this is a beautiful car, but I just went into the motorweek website, and I saw a 1997 Buick perform about the same! Literally same 0-60 and quarter mile times. And with less horsepower, yet supercharged. I was somehow hoping the Impala's numbers would match its cutting edge appearance.

It might be because the new Impala weighs roughly 500 pounds more than the 1997 Buick.

***** No, it has nothing to do with the weight. This was the worst numbers I've seen yet for this new Impala! Look at how much they peeled out off the line lol. Car & Driver and Motor Trend got this Impala to 60 mph in 6.0 and 6.2 seconds. It ran 14.8 seconds at 96 and change mph in one test, and ran 14.8 @ 97.1 in another test. By the way, to that poster below talking about the weight... The 1997 Buick Park Avenue Ultra weighs the same 3,850 or so pounds as this 2014 Impala 2LZ 3.6, but the Buick only has 240 HP and has a really tall geared 4 speed automatic. The Impala has + 65 HP for a total of 305 HP, and a much better, and more aggressively geared 6 speed automatic... I owned a 2005 Buick Park Avenue Ultra before buying my 2014 Regal GS, and my Park Avenue wouldn't have a prayer against this new Impala LTZ. I test drove a '14 LTZ while I still owned my Park Avenue, and there is a huge difference in acceleration. My Park Avenue Ultra felt slow after that test drive lol. Another reason why I sold it.

It's not so much that a 15 second quarter mile is slow, but it doesn't seem that Chevrolet is doing its best, especially considering the car has exquisite lines.

Why are your 0-60 times always 1 second off? The 3.6L Impala is capable of putting down a 6.1 second 0-60.

I love this car! Looks great in and out. Only problem is the engine. It should be in the 6 second range from 0-60 with over 300hp. Oddly enough my moms 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander is 7.0 seconds to 60 with 75 less horsepower and the same weigh range. What's up with that? Whatever, still a great car.

Why did they have to cancel this car, that’s not fair they were really good cars, R.I.P Chevy Impala 😞😢😭1957-2020 this really really really makes me sad, one of my favorite American cars in the world 🌎!!!!

"CHEVY has made a great looking IMPALA, since the 94-96's, they made a V6 for this body style and no V8" You are aware that the V6 on the Impala produces more HP than the previous V8 rights? A 1995 Impala SS LT1 V8 engine produced 260HP, This Impala's LFX V6 engine produces 305 HP. and it is twice as economical with almost similar performance to that 95 SS. >2

Fussinated The V-8 has a ton more torque, though. Standing start races are won with TORQUE.

Too bad these didn’t have a front split bench seating option.

I know the 2012/13 Impala have the exact engine. What do you mean? Every 2014 Impala in depth review I watched said the 3.6 L v6 used on the 2012/13 Impala got carried over to the all new 2014 Impala and on wikipedia it says they are the same.

It needs to be a little bit longer, body on frame, V-8, rear wheel drive or I will stay with Crown Victorias.
