However it does share a few components with that mid-size sedan. Impala is a bit shorter than Lumina, and a little wider. As such, it offers full-size car interior space of 122 cubic feet. A big change for Chevrolet as the car has slight styling cues that hint of the car's heritage. Actually, only Chevy's trademarked bowtie badging on the grill is recognizable.
Impala now sports an upclass appearance at a mid-class price.
Like its forerunners, the new Impala is the right car at the right price. Ride and handling are completely different from Impalas of yesteryear. Four-wheel independent suspension with front and rear sway bars combine for an impressive ride and taut handling characteristics. For a more sporty feel, a Touring Package is optionally available. This new sedan exhibits overall good road feel and just the right amount of steering pressure.
