The 2018 Chevy Impala is the latest incarnation of Chevy’s popular full-size sedan model. With a spacious interior, beautiful exterior style lines, and a ton of modern features, this latest version updates the Impala for today’s driver. Able to work easily as either a small family vehicle or commuter car (or both!) the 2018 Impala is a flexible vehicle that combines both practicality and style. Here are some reasons you’re bound to love the 2018 Chevy Impala.
Technology
Although the Impala hasn’t had a full redesign in a few years, Chevy has implemented continuous technology updates in order to keep the sedan fully up to date. This practice is evident in the 2018 Impala. Drivers will enjoy full smartphone integration via either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. These systems allow drivers to access their favorite apps, from Google Maps to Spotify to Waze to Pandora, using a voice command with app information displayed on the integrated touchscreen.
In addition, the Impala is also Sirius XM compatible and the Chevy MyLink system offers integrated services, including Teen Driving technology that helps parents monitor their teen’s driving habits and encourage safe driving.
Space
As a full-sized sedan, the Impala is expected to be spacious, but it exceeds expectations for both passenger and luggage room. The trunk has an impressive 18.8 cubic feet of space, more than enough for even the worst over-packers. There’s additional storage space behind the touchscreen, a unique touch and a great place to store sensitive items like phones.
Both the front and second row have lots of leg room. This is especially important for drivers that regularly have passengers — there’s more than enough space to spread out in the back seat and even tall passengers should have a comfortable amount of headspace and leg room.
Active Safety
Active safety features are some of the most popular new car technologies and the Impala offers a full range. Available features include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and rear parking sensors. Rearview cameras are standard on all models, while the more advanced features are available are either through packages or the more advanced trim levels.
Drive
There are two available engines for the 2018 Impala: the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder or the optional 3.6L V6. The 4-cylinder gets better fuel ratings, with an estimated 22 miles-per-gallon in the city and 30 on the highway. The 3.6L gets a reduced 18 miles-per-gallon in the city and 28 on the highway but gets noticeably more power, a fair trade-off for drivers that prioritize power over fuel economy.
Regardless of which engine you choose, the weight of the Impala helps create a smooth ride with clean acceleration and responsive handling. Finely tuned brakes help compensate for the extra braking time that often plagues larger vehicles.
These are just a few reasons while you’ll love the 2018 Chevy Impala. The base model begins at $27,895 MRSP and there are multiple trims to choose from, from a well-equipped base to a luxurious top-end model.
