We Recommend

As the LS variant comes with an array of standard features, there is no reason to go for the higher-priced upper-level trims. As per our recommendation, it is better if you stick with the base LS trim that comes with a sticker price of $26,860. If you want better performance from your sedan, you can go with the V6 available.

The 2014 Chevrolet Impala is a good car in the affordable large sedan segment. Though the engine is not the quickest, it performs decently and in any instance does not make it prove underpowered. The interior is made with plastics, but the cabin is much upscale in its class. The infotainment system takes time to respond and can be said to be sluggish. The area where the Impala shines is its cargo capacity. It has a decent fuel economy, though its rivals with bigger engines deliver a similar economy. Overall it is a good package for the price point.
