2016 Chevrolet Impala Review
2016 Chevrolet Impala Review - Gamblin Motors
The 2016 Chevrolet Impala is everything you could ever need for impressive performance and refinement filled into the sophisticated package of today's class leading full-size car. The Impala comes fully loaded with so many features that other automakers call optional. With its bold and exclusive front end, it follows a sleek curvature throughout the body and ends with an equally impressive inspiring rear finish that embodies a handsome elegance that will always stand out from a world of crowded looks. The Impala is never short on power with three exceptional engines to choose from; a EcoTec 2.5L straight 4 good for 200hp, a 3.6L V6 (LFR) good to give you 260hp using gas and 230hp using CNG (compressed natural gas) and finally the class leading 3.6L V6 (LFX) with an exciting 305hp. With the Impala, it's never just about performance, you will always get the feeling of comfort and utility that should always come with a full-size car with more than 3 feet of leg room for your passengers sitting behind you and 18.8 cubic feet of cargo space in the truck.
