As expected, Chevrolet has pulled the wraps off its brand-new 2014 Impala sedan just hours before it makes its world premiere at the New York Auto Show. The 10th generation of Chevy’s full-size sedan carries over no parts whatsoever from the car it replaces.
It is based on a enlarged version of GM’s Epsilon II platform that also underpins the Cadillac XTS and features a McPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension and electrically-powered steering with variable assistance.
The all-new Impala sedan measures 201.3 inches (5,115 mm) long, 73 inches (1,854 mm) wide and 58.9 inches (1,496 mm) tall, and has a wheelbase of 111.7 inches (2.837 mm).
Buyers will be able to choose between a pair of four-cylinder engines and a larger displacement V6, all of which feature direct injection and are combined with six-speed automatic transmissions that send power to the front wheels.
The fours are a new 2.5-liter with 195HP and 187 lb-ft (253 Nm) of torque and a 182HP 2.4-liter unit with the eAssist “mini hybrid” system that boosts fuel economy. Topping the engine line-up is a 3.6-liter V6 with 303HP and 264 lb-ft (358Nm) of torque.
