Chevrolet has made some major changes to the Impala.
The tenth generation of their flagship sedan has been transformed both on the exterior and interior along with improvements to performance and the addition of new technology features.
The Impala was America's best-selling full-size sedan in 2011 and one of the 10 best-selling cars in the U.S. along with other Chevrolet models like the Malibu and Cruze.
Chevrolet has redesigned their trusty Impala with a more current look, up-to-date features and a revamped interior.
Lane-departure control, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel, heated and cooled seats and a new infotainment system are all available options for the new Impala.
The interior was redesigned to create an atmosphere of both sportiness and luxury, according to interior design director Crystal Windham.
"It's about getting more excitement and color into the LT model," she said.
There will be three trim levels and nine interior combinations available for the tenth generation of the Impala.
While the 5-passenger Impala has retained its size, the addition of larger 18-inch standard wheels and tires and available 19-inch and 20-inch packages provide a more aggressive look to the popular family sedan.
There are three engines that will be available with the 6-speed automatic transmission Impala: 182-bph 2.4-liter inline-4 with eAsstist, Ecotec 2.5-liter 195 bph and a 3.6-liter V6 303 bph.
General Motors said that they were looking to create a more conventional version of the Impala.
"Our design team was challenged to create a new classic," said John Cafaro, director of North American passenger car design for GM. "But that didn't mean relying on nostalgia. This is very much a contemporary car, with design elements, craftsmanship and attention to detail that complement its advanced techonology and performance."
The 2014 Impala is expected to be priced starting at $26,000 up to $32,000 and be released this spring.
