True to its legacy, the 2014 Chevy Impala delivers advanced technologies at a competitive price. It incorporates 10standard air bags as well as a host of available safety technologies such as full-speed-range adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, rear camera and rear-park assist.

"Impala has a heritage of pushing the segment with bold designs, new technologies and premium features not typically found at its price point," said Chris Perry, vice president, Chevrolet marketing. "The 2014 Impala's combination of efficiency, refinement, infotainment choices and driving confidence will reset the benchmark in its segment and affirm its position as Chevrolet's flagship sedan."

2014 Chevy Impala V-6 engine will be the most powerful naturally aspirated engine in the segment. The car also receives a new, responsive electric power steering system and enhanced suspension that provides customers with a confident driving experience. To appeal to a wide array of customer needs, the 2014 Chevy Impala will be offered with three engine choices, including two four-cylinder powertrains and a 3.6L V-6 engine available exclusively at launch. An Ecotec 2.4L engine with eAssist, available at the end of this year, will provide an estimated 35 mpg of highway driving.

Inside, an all-new passenger environment offers more front and rear legroom, generous storage and smartphone-influenced connectivity with next-generation MyLink. It's also a quieter environment with a greater emphasis on comfort - including BOSE ® active noise cancelation technology on four-cylinder models. The all-new Impala arrives at Chevrolet dealerships in late April 2013, offered in LS, LT and LTZ models. Prices start at $27,535 (including $810 destination charge). It is produced at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck, Mich., and Oshawa, Ontario facilities.

Exterior colors include Black, Blue Ray, Blue Topaz Metallic, Champagne Silver Metallic, Crystal Red Tintcoat, Cyber Gray, Silver Ice Metallic, Silver Topaz Metallic, Summit White, Tin Roof Rusted and White Diamond Tricoat.

The 2014 Chevy Impala introduces a new aesthetic for Chevrolet's flagship sedan, but one that honors the cues that helped distinguish the classic nameplate for decades. The Impala's long, low proportion has a wind-swept profile that suggests motion, while the range of 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheels is tailored to the body to provide that "just right" stance. At the front, low-profile projector-beam headlamps - or HID headlamps and LED daytime running lamps on LTZ - sweep around the corners and frame a wide grille, while a power dome hood conveys performance. The LTZ's LED daytime running lamps provide a contemporary visual statement, along with great visibility.

"Our design team was challenged to create a new classic, but that didn't mean relying on nostalgia," said John Cafaro, director of North America passenger car exterior design. "This is very much a contemporary car, with design elements, craftsmanship and attention to detail that complement its advanced technology and performance."

The 2014 Chevy Impala's comfort and refinement are rooted in a stronger body structure, enabling a quieter passenger environment and a greater overall feeling of quality. The stiffer architecture also enabled engineers to tune the ride and handling more precisely, for a greater feeling of control and comfort. With active noise cancelation, ceiling-mounted microphones detect engine noise, the frequencies of which are processed by a computer that directs counteracting sound waves through the audio system's speakers and subwoofer. This technology helps eliminate noise levels associated with torque converter lockup at low speeds, which provides better fuel economy.

Additional 2014 Chevy Impala, available features include remote start, passive entry/exit, keyless starting, heated steering wheel, power tilting/telescoping steering column with memory, dual-zone climate control and heated and ventilated front seats. The Impala also packs great storage options, including a generous center console and a hidden storage area behind the optional motorized eight-inch color touch screen.

Another feature allows customers whose Impalas are equipped with available embedded navigation to enter destinations in a single step, without having to enter the state, city, street number and street name in successive efforts. City-by-city weather reports are also provided on 2014 Chevy Impala.

2014 Chevy Impala offers three powertrains, each featuring fuel-saving direct injection and lightweight components. They include the 3.6L V-6, the new Ecotec 2.5L four-cylinder and the Ecotec 2.4L with eAssist. Highlights:

Output for the 3.6L V-6 is estimated at 305 horsepower (227 kW) and 264 lb.-ft. of torque (358 Nm). That is the highest horsepower output in the segment from a naturally-aspirated V-6 engine. Lightweight features support a more balanced driving experience and include an integrated cylinder head/exhaust manifold design that saves approximately 13 pounds (6 kg) per engine
The Ecotec 2.5L is part of a new family of four-cylinder engines developed with increased efficiency and greater refinement. It is estimated at 196 horsepower (145 kW) and 186 lb.-ft. (253 Nm) of torque
Impala's Ecotec 2.4L engine with e Assist provides electrical assist in certain conditions to help save fuel. It is rated at an estimated 182 horsepower (134 kW) and helps achieve estimated highway mileage of 35 mpg. The 2.4L with eAssist will be available at the end of this year
All of Impala's engines are matched with six-speed automatic transmissions.
The powertrains are the force behind Impala's confident, responsive driving experience, which is tuned for comfortable performance and rooted in a more robust body structure. The wheelbase is about an inch longer than the previous model, with a slightly wider rear track, giving the new Impala an excellent feeling of comfort and control, no matter the road conditions.

All models feature an electric variable-assist steering system (EPS) that helps save fuel by drawing energy only when the steering wheel is turned. Designed to complement Impala's balance of responsiveness and comfort, the EPS's feel is light and direct, with greater assistance at low speeds and higher effort at highway speeds. It also incorporates Pull Drift Compensation, which automatically adjusts the steering effort to account for factors such as crowned roads or high crosswinds - factors that typically cause the driver to turn the steering wheel slightly to maintain a straight path. Sensors detect the steering correction and adjust the torque applied to the steering system to relieve the effort on the driver, helping to maintain smooth, straight driving with less input. Pull Drift Compensation is an integrated feature of the EPS system and engages seamlessly, without the driver's knowledge.

The available safety features and benefits include firsts for Chevrolet and 2014 Chevy Impala :

Full-speed-range adaptive cruise control - Radar technology senses traffic in front of the Impala to adjust the vehicle speed, including stopping the vehicle in heavy traffic and accelerating again. It is the first application in a Chevrolet.
Collision mitigation braking - Another Chevy first: Radar technology detects a possible crash threat and alerts the driver. If the driver does not appear to react quickly enough or doesn't react at all, this feature intervenes to apply the brakes in an effort to avoid the crash.
Forward collision alert - Camera technology detects a possible crash threat and alerts the driver, giving him or her time to stop and/or change course.
Lane departure warning - A camera-based lane detection system warns the driver of impending lane changes. The camera, mounted near the inside rearview mirror, identifies traffic lane markings and provides audible alerts.
Side blind zone alert - Using radar sensors on both sides of the vehicle, the system "looks" for other vehicles in the blind zone areas of the Impala and indicates their presence with LED-lit symbols in the outside mirrors.
Rear cross traffic alert - Based on the radar sensors of side blind zone alert, it warns the driver of vehicles in traffic when backing out of a parking spot - including angled parking. Visual and audible alerts are triggered if moving vehicles are detected.
Rear vision camera with dynamic guidelines - With a display in the center stack infotainment system, the camera provides a view of objects directly behind the Impala, while the dynamic guidelines provide a reference that helps make parking and other maneuvers easier.
Ultrasonic rear park assist - Uses sensors in the rear bumper to detect objects directly behind the vehicle and alerts the driver.
Brake pre-fill feature - To quicken the response time of the brakes and help shorten stopping distances, this features "loads" the brake calipers in anticipation of hard braking by slightly increasing the hydraulic pressure in the brake lines whenever the driver lifts off the accelerator pedal. This feature is included on models equipped with adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation breaking.
Hill hold/start assist - Applies the brakes for about 1.5 seconds to prevent roll-back when the driver moves his or her foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal.

The advanced, crash-avoidance technologies complement the 2014 Chevy Impala's occupant protection features, including 10 standard air bags:

Dual-depth frontal passenger air bags with passenger sensing system
Driver and front passenger side-impact air bags
Driver and front passenger knee air bags
Rear outboard side-impact air bags
Head curtain air bags with rollover sensing for front and rear outboard positions
Safety belt pretensioners
Child seat restraint system.
Chevy Impala also employs systems that enable greater vehicle control, including standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, all-speed traction control, four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel ABS and electronic brake force distribution, which ensures optimal braking force at both axles for maximum stability under heavy braking.

OnStar is standard. It uses GPS and cellular phone technology to automatically call for help in the event of crash. OnStar service also includes MyLink mobile apps, whichoffer vehicle information and OnStar services via the customer's smartphone. If you are curious about Chevrolet products please check Chevrolet.
