With a history dating back to 1958, Chevrolet’s largest sedan continues into the 2017 model year with only a few changes. A V6 engine is now available in the base model, while the 2017 Impala LT can have leather seats. 2017 Chevrolet Impala Premier and LT trim levels gain Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality.
When Chevrolet redesigned its Impala for 2014, it turned from dullness into one of GM’s best full-size, front-drive sedans, adopting just the right amount of muscularity and clean, chiseled lines. Not only does it look great, but today’s Impala is comfortable, thrifty, and engaging when underway, traits largely absent from its predecessor. Base Impalas hold a 196-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. A 3.6-liter V6 that makes 305 horsepower is optional. Both team with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Impala LS, LT, and Premier trim levels are offered. Each comes with air conditioning, power features, and cruise control. Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system, standard with LT and Premium trim, uses an 8.0-inch customizable touchscreen and includes satellite radio as well as a CD player. The audio system has a hidden storage compartment behind the LCD screen. GM’s OnStar system includes a wi-fi hotspot.
