The recent facelift that Impala received last year has been appreciated thoroughly since the previous generation had a complete feel of a rental car and did not have the oomph or the appeal to be a premium family car. Now, with its appealing design language, spacious cabin, and a choice for a potent and efficient engine, the Chevrolet Impala is finally here to create ripples in the market.

The 2LT trim should be the preferred choice for buyers as it adds a certain level of fitments and also employs the larger and potent V6 engine and yet keeps the costs to a minimum. The 2LT trim of the sedan comes with a variety of features such as daytime running lights, a sun sensor, and more as standard.

I have a 2015 Chevrolet impala lt. My impala is pretty great, it functions as intended and I rarely have any problems with it.

Overview

Pricing and Features
6.0/10

Chevrolet offers the Impala in six different trims with an option for CNG/gasoline bi-fuel model as well. The Impala comes loaded with features right from the base LS trim, and going up the trim ladder only enhances the overall experience by making the cabin more tech-laden and premium. The base trim of the sedan comes with a sticker price of $27,885 and goes up to $36,265 for the top-end 2LTZ trim.

Engine and Performance
8.6/10

The 2015 Impala gets a range of powertrain options, starting from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 196 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. The larger 3.6-liter V6 engine is rated for 305 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque and is available with a CNG bi-fuel option as well.

Both the engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic, with the power being sent only to the front wheels. The performance is pretty good with both the engines, with the V6 outshining all the rivals. The base engine reaches 60 mph from a standstill in 8.4 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 16.2 seconds.

Model	Chevrolet Impala LS	Ford Taurus SE	Nissan Maxima S	Toyota Avalon XLE

Quarter-mile (sec)	16.2	15.1	14.6	14.5
Top Speed (mph)	139	145	143	139

The Chevy Impala may be the most affordable sedan here since it employs a smaller four-cylinder engine as standard, thus the Ford Taurus with its V6 engine is actually the most affordable offering in this comparison. The Toyota Avalon is on the opposite end of the spectrum, being the most expensive sedan, but also offering the quickest acceleration timings. The Nissan Maxima has the highest engine output but the CVT transmission lets it down.

Fuel Economy
6.0/10

The Impala’s standard four-cylinder unit is pretty frugal, providing an EPA rating of 22/31/25 mpg figures for city/highway/combined driving. The larger V6 does well too by returning 19/29/22 mpg, which is on par with the segment. The 18.5-gallon fuel tank is sizable for a car of this size, and it provides a driving range of well over 400 miles of combined driving in real-world conditions.

Model	Chevrolet Impala	Ford Taurus	Nissan Maxima	Toyota Avalon
MPG (City)	22	19	19	21
MPG (Highway)	31	29	26	31
MPG (Combined)	25	23	22	25
Fuel Capacity (gal)	18.5	19.0	20.0	17.0
Range (City / Highway / Combined) (miles)	407 / 574 / 463	361 / 551 / 437	380 / 520 / 440	357 / 527 / 425

The Avalon stays true to its Toyota nature and returns the highest fuel economy figures in this comparison, similar to the ratings of the four-cylinder Impala, but makes do with a smaller gas tank that adversely affects the driving range. The Ford Taurus, which is marginally more frugal than the Nissan Maxima, offers a similar driving range to that of the Maxima and the Avalon.

Interior
8.7/10

The cabin of the Impala also follows the same dual-cowl design language as seen on the other cars of the Chevy lineup, with a dashboard that blends with the door panels and provides a wraparound effect, which is the stand-out element of the car.

There is acres of space on offer inside the cabin of the Impala, with 4 people of over 6 feet heights can go for a long trip very comfortably in this car. The wide range of upholstery options and the large 18.8 cu-ft of trunk capacity are just an added bonus for those comfortable long drives.

Model	Chevrolet Impala	Ford Taurus	Nissan Maxima	Toyota Avalon
Seating Capacity	5	5	5	5
Front Row (Head / Shoulder / Leg) (in)	39.9 / 57.9 / 45.8	39.0 / 57.9 / 41.9	38.5 / 56.3 / 43.8	37.6 / 58.2 / 42.1
Rear Row (Head / Shoulder / Leg) (in)	37.4 / 56.9 / 39.8	37.8 / 56.9 / 38.1	36.4 / 55.1 / 34.6	37.9 / 57.0 / 39.2
Cargo Capacity (cu-ft)	18.8	20.1	14.2	16.0

There is no competition to the cabin space of the Chevy Impala, offering a more spacious front and back seat experience than any other sedan in this segment. The Avalon would be placed second but does compromise on the boot size. The Ford Taurus offers the largest trunk but does not match up with the cabin space of the Impala. Major interior features include-

8-way power heated front seats
Leather-appointed seat trim
Tilt and telescopic 4-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel
Remote vehicle starter system
Dual-zone automatic climate control w/rear HVAC vents
Ambient interior lighting

How is the 2015 Chevrolet Impala Sedan’s infotainment system?

The Impala employs the same MyLink infotainment system that we have previously seen on other Chevrolet vehicles.

It offers crisp and high-resolution graphics and intuitive smartphone integration but also continues with the unpredictable touch responses, which has been the issue with the MyLink system. Apart from this, the sedan holds a variety of tech, which includes-

8.0-inch Chevrolet MyLink Infotainment system
6-speaker 100W audio system
SiriusXM Satellite Radio w/3-month All Access trial subscription
Bluetooth for phone and streaming audio
OnStar 4G LTE built-in Wi-Fi hotspot
OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation

Exterior
8.0/10

The updated exterior design is a handsome one with sleek slim headlamps with LED daytime running lights, and the slim split dual chrome grille does look stylish as well.

The boomerang-shaped fog lights is an added styling element, whereas the smooth straight body lines with chrome elements and the large machined aluminum do add to the appeal of the car.

Model	Chevrolet Impala	Ford Taurus	Nissan Maxima	Toyota Avalon
Curb Weight (lbs)	3,662	4,035	4,556	3,505
Length (in)	201.3	202.9	190.6	195.3
Width (in)	73.0	76.2	73.2	72.2
Height (in)	58.9	60.7	57.8	57.5
Ground Clearance (in)	6.1	5.1	5.6	5.5
Wheelbase (in)	111.7	112.9	109.3	111.0

The Ford Taurus is the longest, widest, and tallest sedan in this comparison, and hence, offers the longest wheelbase here. The Impala is marginally compact than the Taurus but offers a much higher ground clearance, while the Toyota Avalon is the closest to the ground. The Maxima is the most compact car in this comparison and yet is the heaviest car here. Major exterior highlights of the Impala are-

High-intensity discharge headlights
Acoustic laminated front-side and windshield glass
Outside heated power-adjustable mirrors w/integrated turn signal indicators, ground illumination, and Chrome mirror caps
Chrome door handles
Dual-outlet stainless-steel exhaust w/bright tips
19-inch machined-face aluminum wheels

Safety
9.7/10

Again living up to the Chevrolet's safety standards, the 2015 Impala is also one of the safest in the segment, scoring a perfect 5-star overall rating from the NHTSA while also securing ‘Good’ ratings in almost all the aspects of the crash test conducted by the IIHS. There is a long list of standard and available safety and driver assistance features that makes it stand out from the older rivals, and some of the most prominent features are listed below.

StabiliTrak stability control system
Brake Assist and Cornering Brake Control
Rear Park Assist w/Rear Vision Camera
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
Lane Departure Warning
Side Blind Zone Alert
Rear Park Assist

Final Verdict

The Chevy Impala has become a strong contender in the large sedan segment since its new generation has been launched, as it is now handsome inside and out, offers abundant space for both cargo and passengers, offers a frugal and a powerful engine, and comes loaded with tons safety features and technology, while also keeping the prices competitive. All in all, the sedan is a considerable pick in the segment.
