The all-new 2014 Chevy Impala has commenced production at GM’s Oshwawa, Canada assembly plant on April 1, 2013. Based on GM’s extended (or Super) Epsilon II vehicle architecture, the Impala carries a starting price of $27,535 (including destination) and will begin arriving in Chevrolet showrooms across North America in early April. The vehicle, which will not have all-wheel drive as an option, will offer a choice of three engines, including:
- 2.4L I4 mild-hybrid Ecotec LUK
- 2.5L I4 Ecotec LCV
- 3.6L V6 LFX
The new Chevy flagship sedan delivers new content and technology never before seen on the Impala, such as the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, Adaptive Cruise Control, crash-avoidance technologies like Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert, a as well as ten standard airbags.
At Oshawa, the new Impala is built on the same state-of-the-art Flexible Manufacturing line at GM’s Oshawa plant shared with the Chevrolet Camaro, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS, with the latter two sharing the general Epsilon II vehicle architecture with the Impala. The Impala will also be produced at GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant starting in May.
Meanwhile, the outgoing last-generation Impala will remain in production through 2014, for fleet purposes.
The GM Authority Take
This has been a long time coming. Finally, Chevy will make its full-size offering competitive with the Ford Taurus, Hyundai Azera, and Toyota Avalon. And for those who are after performance in a sedan package, the 2014 Chevy SS sedan will be also be available this year. Product offensive, we salute you

It looks like it has Impala tail lights.
Inspired by Corvette.
Nice! Cant wait to see these on the street maybe even my garage.
Sat my rump in one of these at the chicago show and the first thing in my mind was exactly what chevyman18 though, this belongs in my garage…
We workers here in Oshawa take great pride in the vehicles we assemble. The new Impala is no exception. We would be happy to build you one Chevyman18 and Yababdabadoo.
Your work is excellent! My 1995 Buick Regal with the 3800 CC V6 was built in Oshawa in October 1994 and it still runs as new with plenty of torque at 21 MPG.
Keep up that quality with the 2014 vehicles, and GM will dominate the sedan market.
should have at least a 4.8 v/8 in the engine lineup as canada won’t get the SS this year.
The new impala is a wonderful example of modern american styled flagship sedan. The appearence is reminiscent of an older chevy updated into the twenty teens. Just the kind of sedan that will make many happy owners. Great design GM, You should consider another convertible though. Impala sedan, Impala coupe, Impala convertible. Seems to have a nice ring to it. Or even that rumored chevelle, and perhaps a sonic convertible. Two convertibles and two coupes just isnt enough from such a great name as chevrolet…. Maybe even time to go toward a scion like line of customizeable small architecture cars and cuv’s. The lower end market buyers have been shuned from any real selecection from GM recently, and young buyers are the demographic automakers should be targeting right now. Build these cars wisely, durably and cost efficiently, sell em cheap stack em deep and make a name for the new GM…..
Update… I see one of these everyday now… in my garage oh yea! Got me an ltz with all the bells and whistles! Id like to thank JP and all the fine people at gm for building an exceptional vehicle. The ride is so smooth its ridiculous, plenty of power in the v6. Didnt realize the engine had a growl to it until I floored it! This car looks and feels more than it is. For the first time in my life I actually bought a car that I really wanted. Extremely satisfied with my purchase! Keep up the good work.
