A stunning
reinterpretation
Vision is the cornerstone of
good design and at the core of fearless innovation. The all-new 2014 Impala is
proof of that, combining superior materials with meticulously crafted
technology. Its bold stance and sculpted lines combine form with function to please
the eye and effectively command aerodynamics for a smooth, dynamic ride. The
interior is transformed into an environment of sophistication and authenticity
featuring premium materials thoroughly crafted with masterful technique
resulting in superior finish in every detail. Engineered for excellence.
Designed for drivers. The 2014 Chevrolet Impala is a stunning reinterpretation
of the premium sedan.
Assertive, athletic design
From its bold, confident stance to its sweeping roofline, the all-new 2014
Impala is artistically sculpted for lasting impressions. It’s a striking
departure from the status quo. The powerdome hood, wide chrome grille,
projector-beam headlamps and available LED daytime running lamps project the
bold new face of Chevrolet. The provocative silhouette, sculpted bodysides and
a choice of 18-, 19- or 20-inch wheels contribute further to its dramatic
appearance and head-turning profile.
Style with intention
The all-new 2014 Impala has the graceful lines worthy of its iconic
nameplate. The exterior is characterized by smooth, flowing contours that are
not only visually stunning but also impressively aerodynamic. Honed in the wind
tunnel, the artistically aerodynamic shape contributes to a wonderfully quiet
ride and greater fuel efficiency with an estimated 31 MPG highway
with
the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine
or an EPA-estimated 29 MPG highway with
the available 3.6L V6 engine featuring Direction Injection and Variable Valve
Timing.
In just 6.8 seconds
At the heart of Impala lies the acclaimed 3.6L V6 engine boasting 305
horsepower and 0-60 mph in just 6.8 seconds. Direct Injection injects fuel
closer to the combustion chamber for an efficient, powerful “burn.” At partial
or full throttle, you’ll feel the powerful response. Variable Valve Timing consistently
boosts power by providing near-peak torque over a wider rpm range. The
available engine’s refined power and finely tuned precision contribute to the
confident and strong ride Impala is known for, while preserving impressive
efficiencies such as an EPA-estimated 29 MPG highway.
Agile ride and handling
The stiff body structure and grounded stance allowed engineers to tune ride
and handling precisely for an impressive “connected to the road” experience.
The premium electric rack-and-pinion steering system delivers crisp, responsive
handling and excellent on-center feel. A tight steering radius combined with an
available variable-effort feature, which increases the level of power
assistance during low-speed maneuvers, offers the driver impressive command
over city streets and sharp turns. In the end it creates a smooth, effortless
ride.
Connected to the road
The grounded stance exudes an air of confidence, while its refined exterior
design and profile leave a lasting impression whether in motion or standing
still. But this longer wheelbase and sculpted, stiff body structure are at the
center of a more commanding driving experience. The 2014 Impala is for the
assured driver ready to enjoy each turn, every hill and whatever the road may
bring.
Sophisticated
The Impala interior has been transformed into a carefully crafted,
exquisitely detailed environment with the driver’s comfort and peace of mind
its focus. A dramatic and innovative reinterpretation of the classic Chevrolet
“dual-cockpit” instrument panel flows seamlessly around the driver, while
visual accents such as available soft ice-blue ambient lighting ignite the
senses. And with thoughtful design along with ingenuity, the 2014 Impala is
spacious and comfortable, offering ample room for five passengers. New options
for further driving comfort include heated and ventilated front seats, heated
steering wheel with a power tilt/telescoping feature and 4-way adjustable front
head restraints that allow the driver and front passenger to position them for
a more comfortable fit.
Authentic
Each and every detail of the Impala interior was thoughtfully selected and
expertly crafted to come together in an exceptional driving environment
tailored to its driver. Beautiful available burnished woodgrain trim perfectly
complements chrome accents throughout, while exquisite French stitching
accentuates the premium textures of soft-touch and available premium sueded
microfiber or leather-appointed surfaces. Available ventilated front seats and
a heated steering wheel round out the environment for greater overall comfort
for both the driver and passengers. It’s more than an interior – it’s the
pinnacle of taste and intrigue.
Innovative
Interior designers thoughtfully considered every inch and every aspect of
the all-new driver-centric Impala, keeping drivers’ needs at the forefront of
their minds. Innovative storage options can be found intuitively throughout
Impala that thoughtfully preserve spaciousness. There’s smart storage in the
door panels and armrest, as well as umbrella storage in the front doors, and
integrated cup holders and phone storage in the console. Items can be kept in
reach but out of sight with hidden storage space behind the available color
touch-screen radio or stowed away within hidden under-floor storage in the
trunk. Then there’s the available Driver Memory Package, another thoughtful
convenience that gives you two preset positions for the 8-way power driver
seat, power-adjustable steering wheel and exterior mirrors. Recall your saved
settings with the touch of a button. It even makes exiting easier by pulling
the available power seat and steering column back and out of the way.
Be Entertained
Customize your driving experience by arranging the icons and features on
your available 8-inch color touch-screen along with the Driver Information
Center to showcase the information or options you want most. Impala features
the largest color touch-screen yet on a Chevrolet vehicle along with hidden
storage behind the screen with a USB port to store your phone or items. In
Valet Mode, it even locks to help keep valuable items safe and securely out of
reach. Once your screen and Driver Information Center are customized to your
preferences, you’re ready to bring your favorite music and entertainment with
you. The new available Chevrolet MyLink
works with your
compatible smartphone and Bluetooth® wireless technology to stream music and
entertainment through the Pandora® Internet Radio mobile app. Or you can listen
to commercial-free programs through the 3-month trial of SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
The latest Chevrolet MyLink even allows you to store up to 60 favorites,
including radio stations, contacts, destinations, music and other media.
Voice and gesture recognition
The latest available Chevrolet MyLink system offers natural-language voice
recognition that allows you to place calls, enter destinations, browse media
and play music with simple natural speech. Or you can accomplish various tasks
using gestures, such as a swipe across the screen, similar to systems commonly
used on mobile devices.
Keyless Access
There’s no need to hunt for your key fob in your purse or pocket — with this
available feature, simply press the sensor on the door handle and the door will
unlock. And then as long as the key fob is inside the car, you can start the
engine with the push of a button.
Full-color touch-screen
The 8-inch diagonal color touch-screen has a power up/down feature that
reveals a hidden behind-screen storage compartment with a USB port, so you can
charge and store your phone while driving. You can even customize the look of
the on-screen graphics with one of four available themes.
Rear vision camera
The available rear vision camera on Impala displays a rear view on the
touch-screen located conveniently in the center stack for easy view. This
feature helps you see stationary objects behind your Impala when traveling in
reverse at low speeds. The cross-traffic alert option also alerts you to
oncoming cross traffic while backing up.
Bose®
Surround Sound
Everything in the all-new Impala, including the sound quality of your music,
is made for total driving enjoyment. The available 11-speaker Bose® Centerpoint
Surround Sound System has been carefully tuned to the interior acoustics of
Impala.
USB ports
Access music and entertainment stored on your phone while driving simply by
connecting your smartphone to the simple-to-use available Chevrolet MyLink system
through three USB ports. With two ports in the console and another tucked away
in the hidden storage compartment behind the color touch-screen, you can charge
multiple devices while on the road.
Preventive measures
Safety was a top priority when designing the all-new 2014 Impala. So Impala
features some of the most innovative and ingenious advances in safety
technology from standard StabiliTrak
® to available Collision
Mitigation Braking.
The Advanced Safety Package, available on LT and standard on LTZ, features
additional available technologies and the optional Forward Collision Alert,
which scans for vehicles ahead and alerts the driver to potential crash risks.
Also available on LTZ, opt for additional safety features including
Full-Speed-Range Adaptive Cruise Control and enhanced Forward Collision Alert
with Collision Mitigation Braking, which utilizes radar in the front grille to
sense traffic ahead. Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts or maintains vehicle speed
accordingly when set to “maintain follow distance.” The enhanced Forward
Collision Alert with Collision Mitigation Braking can automatically apply the
brakes to help avoid a front end collision or reduce impact speed.
New assistance technologies
Impala is ingenuity put to work for the safety of you and your passengers,
featuring newly available safety technologies that help give the driver not
only "eyes in the back of their head" to aid in rear vision, but also
help alert the driver to their sides and blind spots as well. Using radar
sensors, Forward Collision Alert identifies vehicles ahead and alerts the
driver to any potential crash risk while Rear Cross-Traffic Alert alerts the
driver to crossing traffic from behind while the vehicle is in reverse. Similar
radar sensors keep an eye on blind spots to the side of the vehicle with the
Side Blind Zone Alert, which illuminates small LED-lit symbols in the
corresponding outside mirror when another vehicle is detected. Impala even
keeps an eye on your driving with the available Lane Departure Warning. It
gives you an audible alert while driving if you unintentionally drift out of
your lane without using a turn signal.
Protection and response
In the event of a collision, the vehicle’s innovative safety features go to
work helping to protect with 10 standard air bags. Structural integrity of the
vehicle is important during a collision and Impala provides a strong, stiff
body using ultra-high-strength steel. There’s also the safety and support of OnStar®,
standard for six months, with Automatic Crash Response. In many crashes,
built-in sensors can automatically alert an OnStar Advisor, who is immediately
connected to your Impala to see if you need help. Even if you don’t respond, an
OnStar Advisor can use GPS technology to pinpoint your exact location and
request that emergency help be sent right away.
