Chevrolet unveiled the its 10th-generation Impala at the 2012 New York auto show, with the hope to erase memories of the long-running nameplate’s largely forgettable outwardly appearance with new a sleek new body and a more refined interior. The new Impala will come loaded with the latest in technology, and a vastly improved driving experience when it goes on sale in early 2013.
The new Impala will boast a stronger structure enhanced
quietness and much improved handling and ride.
Dramatically restyled, the 2014 model boast a long, raked-back profile meant to pay homage to past Impalas, while still providing a contemporary look. A wide grille is front and center, framed by a pair of low-profile projector headlamps
which sweep around.
Long a staple of rental car fleets across America, with its low rent interior, the new Impala will come with a significantly upgraded interior with higher quality fabrics and more standard features. Ultrasuede, and perforated leather will adorn the inside cabin of the 2014 Impala. The door panels and dashboard get soft-touch materials, while the seats are meant to look more premium than the old model with higher-quality stitching. Ambient lighting is available. A central 4.2-inch color display within the wraparound instrument cluster relays the driver information, while an 8-inch touch screen with a hidden storage compartment behind it adorns the center stack. Through this touch screen, drivers can interface with Chevy’s available MyLink system, which incorporates Bluetooth hands-free phone and streaming audio, plus
optional navigation.
Safety was another focus with the new Impala. The new car will be the first GM car to have a collision mitigation braking system that can apply brakes automatically if a crash is imminent. Other safety features include forward collision alert, land departure warning, side blind zone alert, and rear cross traffic alert, which use either radar or cameras to detect various hazards and alert the driver.
