Performance
Impala has the highest fuel economy of any V6
in the industry, coupled with solid performance (0-60 mph
in 9.1 seconds in the LS).
Impala owes its rigidity and stiffness, quiet ride and
terrific suspension to a carefully engineered chassis and
body architecture. An extruded aluminum engine cradle –
a first for mass production – helps isolate engine
noise and vibration.
Two dependable engines – the 3400 V6 and the award-winning
3800 V6 – power the impressive ride. The 3400 V6 provides
180 horsepower and 205 lb-ft of torque, while the 3800 V6
puts out 200 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque.
Safety
The Impala has a frontal rating of 5 stars on the driver's
side and five stars on the passenger's side. The Impala
has a side impact rating of 4 stars on the driver's side
and four stars on the passenger's side. Impala has met 2003
Federal head impact criteria since its introduction.
More than 100 standard safety and security features make
Impala a worry-free car to drive. Impala LS features a driver’s
side-impact air bag, remote keyless entry, traction control,
tire inflation monitoring system and antilock brakes, all
Optional on Impala Sedan.
Standard features on all models include passive theft-deterrent
system, battery rundown protection and daytime running lamps.
In addition, a "limp home" mode allows the car
to be driven to a nearby service station even after a complete
