2015 Chevrolet Impala in St. Cloud, MN - $10,999

Designed to deliver bold style, interior refinement and enhanced efficiency, the 10th generation Impala sedan was introduced at the 2012 New York International Auto Show. Chevrolet’s flagship sedan carries forward the strong heritage of the Impala nameplate by offering expressive style, refined interior, easy-to-use technology, and an exhilarating driving experience.

Engineered on one of General Motors’ global platforms, the Impala introduces sophisticated levels of comfort, refinement and technology. Highlights include an exterior design that represents the next evolution of Chevrolet’s design vocabulary. It features a sleek proportion, sculpted body sides, standard 18-inch wheels and projector-beam headlamps, with HID headlamps and LED daytime running lamps standard on Premier.

Available in LS, LT and Premier trim levels, power for the Chevrolet flagship includes a range of three direct-injected engines, including a 3.6L V-6, and 2.5L four-cylinder. Both engines convey torque to the pavement through a Hydro-Matic six-speed automatic transmission.

The Impala’s responsive driving experience, which is tuned for a spirited, yet comfortable performance employs a MacPherson-strut front suspension and four-link rear suspension. An isolated front cradle and hydraulic ride bushing help to deliver a smooth, quiet ride. All models feature an electric variable-assist steering system that helps save fuel by drawing energy only when the steering wheel is turned.

Comfort and refinement are rooted in a strong body structure, designed to foster a quiet passenger environment and an overall feeling of quality. The stiff architecture also enabled engineers to tune the ride and handling more precisely, for a greater feeling of control and comfort. A comprehensive package of sound-absorbing, sound-suppressing and even active noise cancellation (on four-cylinder models) contributes to the Impala being Chevrolet’s quietest full-size sedan ever.

Inside the passenger cabin builds on Chevrolet’s signature dual-cockpit interior with attention to detail and upscale features. This is evident in everything from the wraparound flow of the instrument panel into the door panels and the available ambient lighting, to the soft feel of the materials and the premium appearance of the seats’ stitching. The instrument panel integrates a display cluster with a standard 4.2-inch color display with reconfigurable features for the driver information center. The eight-inch touch screen with concealed storage behind it is matched with the available Chevrolet MyLink system.

Premium materials throughout the interior and details such as high-quality fabric, Ultrasuede and perforated leather appointments, complement the quiet environment and give the Impala a substantive look and feel. The seats are bolstered for greater support, and the seat cushions are designed to deliver a firm, premium feel that is just as comfortable on a 500-mile drive as on a five-minute excursion. The rear-seat head restraints fold to improve rear visibility when driving without rear passengers.
