Description

Impala still offers a roomy interior and good reliability, the full-size sedan segment is crowded with competing models that best this long-in-the-tooth model in terms of styling, performance, quality and refinement. The minor upgrades for 2013 include a new Luxury Edition package that bundles leather upholstery, heated power-adjustable front seats, a premium Bose audio system and a few other niceties, yet these enhancements aren't nearly enough to tip the scales in its favor. Performance & mpgThe 2013 Chevy Impala comes only with a 3.6-liter V6 that puts out a healthy 300 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard. EPA fuel economy estimates are 18 mpg city/30 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined.SafetyThe 2013 Chevrolet Impala's list of standard safety features includes antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front seat side-impact airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Also standard is GM's OnStar service, which includes automatic crash notification, an emergency assistance button, remote door unlock and stolen vehicle assistance.The Impala earns respectable scores in government crash tests including an overall rating of four stars (out of five) in both frontal and side impacts. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the Impala the top ranking of Good in both its frontal-offset and side-impact tests, but the second-best rating of Acceptable in the roof strength test.DrivingThe 2013 Chevy Impala's performance is something of a mixed bag. The 300-hp V6 (just introduced last year), delivers acceleration on par with many of its competitors, plus respectable fuel economy besides.How you'll feel about the Impala's suspension calibration depends on your priorities. Ride comfort is quite good, but the car's handling is mediocre at best. Though some buyers will find this trade-off acceptable, we think you'll be happier with the more refined level of ride and handling offered by many of the Impala's competitors.InteriorThe 2013 Chevrolet Impala offers a spacious passenger cabin with room for five. Opt for the available front bench seat and you have a sedan with seating for six, something that's a rarity nowadays. And in this world of ever-increasing technological complexity, the Impala's simple stereo will certainly be welcomed by many.However, the fact remains that the Impala simply lacks many of the bells and whistles that make more modern cars technologically complex in the first place. The cabin's design is also outdated compared to most of its competitors, while the materials don't measure up to those found in many of GM's more recent models. One glimpse at the upcoming all-new Impala will reveal just how behind the times the current model is.While the Impala's trunk offers a generous 18.6 cubic feet of cargo room,#carspot #cardeals #luxury #usedcar #finance #honda #carfinance #mercedes #sale #carscene #carspotting #carsovereverything #suv #carbuying #autodealer #carforsale #carporn #nissan #carsandcoffee #dealerships #preownedcars #mercedesbenz #carsofig #carsofinsta #buyacar #carlovers #carspotters #carsale #sellcars #carselfie#carsales #cars #carsforsale #usedcars #cardealership #carsofinstagram #car #cardealer #dealership #autosales #carshopping #sales #usedcarsforsale #carsalesman #automotive #newcar #bmw #forsale #luxurycars #auto #carswithoutlimits #toyota #carlifestyle #carsdaily #carstagram #ford #audi #carshow #usedcarsales #newcars
