2014 Chevrolet Impala Eco Caught Naked

2014 Chevrolet Impala Eco Grey Spied

Looks pretty damn good, no? We think so, too. The wing-shaped (or bowtie-shaped, if you prefer) enclosure on the upcoming 2014 Chevrolet Impala Eco‘s front fascia really does seem to work, especially as we see it completely undisguised on Motor Trend’s website with a set of LED daytime headlights.

So, what can we expect underneath that aerodynamic hood? It would be a 182 hp and 172 lb-ft eAssist powertain that features a 2.4L Ecotec engine coupled with a small battery to provide electrical assistance and ease up on gasoline dependence. Will we see 36 mpg highway out of the Impala Eco like we do out of the similarly proportioned Buick LaCrosse? It wouldn’t surprise us if Impala engineers are able to wring out another mile per gallon or two when the official numbers arrive.

    Those epsilon based vehicles are beautiful and well engineered. I just picked up a new buick lacrosse w eassist….absolutely awesome car. Drives and looks like a car twice its price. Gm has become an exciting company…the opposite of toyota and honda.

      I spent some time fiddling around with a LaCrosse and I was really taken by the interior and the stereo. Really classy stuff.

    Ha, I always thought the grille was an “H” for hybrid.

    Is it me, or does the grill look more like a bowtie than the Chevrolet emblem?

    I knew it had be a fuel economy special. There was no way they’d do another Impala SS given how poorly the last one wast received.

      Given that the last model was a boat/couch on wheels on an outdated platform, that’s no surprise… and the needs of those of a large high performance sedan will be met by the Chevy SS.
