The 2019 Chevy Impala continues to be offered only as a full-size four-door sedan.
Like all tenth-generation units of the Chevrolet Impala, the 2018 Impala continues to ride on a long-wheelbase variant of the GM Epsilon II platform called Super Epsilon. The architecture is shared with the second-generation Buick LaCrosse and first-generation Cadillac XTS. A short wheelbase of the Epsilon architecture underpinned the eighth-generation Chevrolet Malibu and fifth-generation Buick Regal.
The 2018 Chevy Impala is assembled at the following two plants for global markets:
- GM Detroit-Hamtramck factory in Detroit, Michigan USA (GM USA)
- GM Oshawa factory in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada (GM Canada)
The 2018 Impala to follow the regular GM model year rollover sequence, and be available for purchase at dealers in the third quarter of the 2017 calendar year.
We expect that the tenth-generation Impala will stick around for the 2019 and 2020 model years. After that, we expect the full-size sedan to be replaced with an all-new, next Impala riding on the GM E2 platform shared with the third-generation Buick LaCrosse. However, certain comments by GM executives have recently put the Impala’s future into question.
