    Technology abounds in new Chevrolet Impala

    2016 Chevrolet Impala LTZ

    A thoughtfully designed full-size sedan, Impala offers advanced safety and entertainment technologies, modern design cues and excellent efficiency – a combination that continues to draw accolades.

    Impala is offered in LS, LT and LTZ models, with a standard 2.5L engine paired with fuel-saving stop/start technology and an available 3.6L V-6 engine rated at 305 horsepower. A special Midnight Edition is also offered on LT and LTZ V-6 models.

    Impala also has 10 standard air bags, full-speed-range Adaptive Cruise Control, Crash Imminent Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, ear camera and rear-park assist. The spacious interior blends with almost endless infotainment options via MyLink and BOSE active noise cancelation technology on 2.5L models.

    Technology

    Building on its connectivity capabilities, the Chevrolet Impala offers available Apple CarPlay capability and wireless charging technology to help customers stay connected anytime, anywhere.

    Through Apple CarPlay capability, Impala's new Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system provides simple and intuitive use of smartphones in the vehicle. It integrates certain phone functions onto eight-inch-diagonal color touchscreen, allowing them to call up music, navigation apps and more.

    With wireless charging, smartphone users simply place their phone on a charging pad in front of the shifter that draws electricity to the device, with no need for cords or wires. The time needed to charge is comparable to using a wired method without the hassle of finding charging accessories. It is available in Technology Packages for LS and LTZ models, complementing last year's introduction of OnStar with 4G LTE connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspot.

    Midnight Edition

    Based on a concept shown at the 2014 SEMA Show, the Impala Midnight Edition is available on LT and LTZ with the V-6 engine, featuring a blacked-out package that strengthens the Impala's dramatic, head-turning styling.

    Stop/start

    Impala offers two powerful and efficient powertrain offerings: the standard 2.5L iVLC (intake valve lift control) with stop/start technology and a 3.6L V-6 that's the most powerful naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine in the segment.

    The stop/start feature on the 2.5L shuts down the engine in certain driving conditions to reduce fuel consumption. Along with other technologies, the 2.5L powertrain contributes to EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg in city driving and 31 mpg on the highway.
