U.S News & World Report has published its 2020 Best Cars for the Money list, with the 2020 Chevrolet Impala recognized in the Best Large Car for the Money category.
“The cars, SUVs, and minivans that earned a U.S. News Best Cars for the Money award represent the best combination of quality and value in each of their respective classes,” U.S. News says.
The award winners were selected based on the overall score they received in U.S. News car rankings, as determined by reliability data, safety data, and reviews. Each entrant’s value was determined by the five-year total ownership costs as reported by Vincentric, and real transaction prices from TrueCar.
Of the 11 categories covered, the 2020 Chevrolet Impala was the only product from General Motors on the list.
“A big, comfortable car does not have to break the bank, and the 2020 Chevrolet Impala proves this with its competitive starting price,” U.S. News writes.
The outlet highlights the Impala’s “strong” naturally aspirated 3.6L LFX V6 engine, which spins out 305 horsepower and 264 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels by way of the M7W six-speed automatic transmission.
U.S. News also said the 2020 Chevrolet Impala provides “a serene driving experience, with an agreeable ride and controlled handling,” while also highlighting the sedan’s spacious seating and raft of infotainment features, such as a Wi-Fi hotspot, eight-inch touchscreen, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Unfortunately, Chevrolet Impala production is set to end next month, per a memo distributed to employees at the GM Detroit-Hamtramck facility. Currently in its tenth generation, this isn’t the first time the Chevrolet Impala nameplate has been put on a shelf. Nevertheless, customers will continue to be able to buy the 2020 Chevrolet Impala for some time to come, as inventory will remain available at dealers around the nation even after production ceases.

Toyota unveiled its new Avalon at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. Sales of the old model spiked. The vehicle started arriving at dealerships in August 2017. Sales tanked and continue to tanked.
Toyota can’t even sell the car to Toyota fans.
Some good news about Toyota!
When will Toyota cancel it? Did Impala out sell it?
No word on when but I would figure within 2-years because it is basically the same size as the Camry.

If Toyota started dropping models that don’t sell. there would be very little left in their lineup.
The 86 = Suburu, Supra = BMW
There are ads from Toyota and Honda airing in Detroit that are mocking Ford and GM’s decision to drop sedans. You think Ford and GM would be shamed into keeping their sedans around. I do not see them loosing anything on a Malibu or Fusion.
decent car too bad it doesn’t sell rented 1 for a week nice ride to it even on the 5% of AZ roads that are not smooth as glass
My wife drives her ’15 black Ltz w/ mohave interior over every pot hole. Still tight as a drum, no problems. And it’s a looker. Maybe they will get a reprieve.
The award winning quality build Oshawa Assembly Plant built the Impala probably the longest for North American consumption and millions of happy U.S. customers that lauded their build quality .Well GM Detroit management cancelled the build in ?Canada’s and finally closed the plant forever in their quest for EV planning and implementation was the reason given The Impala will always be remembered as a hold over from the 45 percent of the market years when GM was dominant and a trend setter in the market place ,those times will never return ,sadly !
I agree about Oshawa. My ’13 XTS Plat. is a high quality build. My ’17 Mustang, not so much.
Figures…one of their best cars & they axe it.
Yup typical GM thinking . Build a high quality vehicle in the highest rated plant and then do fuc§¡\ng nothing to promote it or enhance it over the course of 6 years .
Yep GM should just keep building these and let them rot on the lots then off them for major no profit discounts.
The wife’s aunt gat a major discount on her 18 Impala.
Nice car but if it is not moving Six figures then it is not making the return a more popular model could make.
Oshawa…. is that the plant that built my 04 GTP that had electrical interference that no one could find?
The Impala has been a great car but one at the wrong time in history. Imagine if they had this car in the 90’s and early 2000’s when it really would have sold well. They moved a bunch of those hideous looking ones.
C8,R ,Your good wife’s aunt was smart for getting the discount and buying a handsome 18 Impala vehicle that will give good service for years to come .As for your 04 G.TP the wiring probably came from a U.S. supplier like Packard in the day our Oshawa Quality trouble shooter and line technicians asked for many Detroit engineering upgrades and suggested fix’s ,the same with 90’s exterior designs that Detroit produced for sale the biggest mistakes were ,few updates , lack of advertisement ,and bringing out a newly designed Malibu a couple of inches shorter ,Very similar in looks and undercut the pricing of this quality vehicle with discounts on the Also slow moving Malibu ,leaving the Impala redundant in the dealers eyes !
You can stop the Oshawa BS.
Most assembly lines are set up very similar. The main difference is not the people or where but the age of things like the fixtures and paint shop.
As for my ha4ness it could have been pinched some place. Canadians as well as Asians, Europeans and Mexicans all are capable of the same mistakes.
Advertising would make no difference as sedans are in decline with everyone. The ones that will survive will be global models sold in more places than just N America.
I am sure you were or are a proud Canadian union member but that still changes nothing. GM has built some of the best sedans out but it is at a time few care as utility of a vehicle is prime.
I have a Malibu that is a great car but you can’t haul much in it unless you unbox it or can fit it through the trunk opening. With the Acadia no issues.
They just needed this car back when it really mattered.
C8.R – Surprise Oshawa had a nearly new $ 500 million new paint shop built a few years ago before being closed .That’s why Fort Wayne had us finishing their Chev.1500 and GMC haft tons they wanted quality work , what other U.S. plants quality built trucks on adjacent assembly lines with Cadillac XTS and Chevy Impalas and Regals or built the new model Camaro’s not so long ago, it is modern and full of AGV.s and robots ever since the w-car of the1990’s with advanced technology .I was a Supervisor not a union member ,and spent plenty of time in the Tech.Centre .Detroit on PDT in the past and yes our hourly unionized staff brought us plenty of awards and accolades since the advent in Canada of GM corporation as we know it today over 100years ago !
The GM. Corporation as we know it was funded and formed by the amalgamation between Durant and Sam Mc Laughlin owner of the McLaughlin -Buick Company of Canada over 100 years ago ( info only)
Six figures is hardly necessary. Chrysler is committed to the 300 and they’re selling 30,000 a year. No other brand has a problem with less than six figures.
Not in cases when you are selling a decades old platform that was paid for long ago. Also you discount them to a price of a Malibu and you still only sell 30kK? Much of that fleet sales and rentals. Not good for profits.
What you do is invest in a CUV that returns 250k units and has a much higher return profit wise as it is not discounted like the 300.
It is about profits and making money. This is why FCA needs PSA as a partner.
Nothing at FCA matter accept for Jeep and Ram.
The key concern will be whether U..S. buyers will accept the CVT and 3-cyl. 1.2 Lt. Engines in non AWD Buick Encore GX and Chev.Trail Blazers even if they are acceptable in the Far East ? – The looks are great otherwise and they may sell 250 k
The 3 cylinder will be fine and most makes will have one or will be getting one. Overseas already where they tax on displacement they have been in uses for a long time.
The real key to the future is price. Hyundai sells a ton of cars as they are ok cars at lower prices. They are not perfect cars but very acceptable and people will shop price more and more in the future. Hyundai holds an advantage as many of their models are imported or they are build in non union plants with low legacy cost.
The 500 pound Gorilla in the room is China. If they ever figure out how to be a nice car everyone is screwed unless they are restricted or tariffs are placed on them.
What happened to Sears and most major retailers will happen to the auto industry if it is not controlled.
GM will still kill it off ..instead of keeping it & updating the interior or exterior.
Wagons are back “in”. So called wagons, that is. Imagine an Impala wagon, a real one with dual tailgate and 48″ wide cargo space, like the ’91-’96. Just a pipe dream.
My cousin has two Buick Roadmaster wagons. One for driving and one for parts.
Buick and Volvo have nice big new wagons ,so Impala would fit right in and maybe throw in a V6 and AWD and possibly the SUV/CUV strangle hold on the family market would dissipate,the Impala sedan could still be marketed along side the wagon and possibly a fast back two door ,till viable EV ‘s for the familiy uses are starting production in three to five years ?
Too bad then that Generic motors is canceling it’s only interesting car, the Regal wagon or Tour X along with every full sized sedan it makes and eventually everything in between. Such a sad dull boring company!
IMO the big SUV/CUV/pick up dose the same thing as the Impala do with greater capabilities for moving profit, passengers and cargo, it’s why sedan sales keep getting hammered. No, I don’t like to see the Impala gone but with the facts presented and the upcoming recession it’s hard for sedan sales.
OTOH Chevy can make an outstanding and larger Malibu for remaining larger sedan buyers.
Unfortunately, this truck/SUV thing is what created this with manufactures dropping their sedan lineup. Ford’s is the most drastic at this point.
The sales trends are killing sedans not the CUV.
Buick has two great sedans and a wagon but yet people don’t care.
I sat in the Buick wagon at the Cleveland auto show. I could have had my lunch in the car as no one cared to sit in it but me. As for the Buick CUV models they had lines waiting.
Please then explain to me why Subaru sells every sedan based vehicle it makes with ease and keeps growing each year.
Joe, that is a good question because every year they are rated near the bottom in reliability results. Their interiors are among the lowest quality in the industry also. Maybe it is that they are all wheel drive that attracts people?
a typical dumb move by the morons making the decisions . lets see how many less sales gm will have this year and they will not figure why
I am gonna miss the Chevrolet impala period, such a legend.
the chevrolet impala was the only winner that was not korean or japanese. sad.
but does anyone really care what US News and World Report has to say about cars? if i want info on cars, i’ll go to an automotive publication.
Steve
Really? Just answer a few questions
1. Silverado, F150 or RAM?
2. Camaro, Mustang or Challenger?
3. Escalade or Navigator?
4. Lincoln Continental or Cadillac CT6
5. Tahoe or Expedition?
6. Tesla Model 3 or Chevy Bolt?
7. Jeep Wrangler or (no real competitor)
In a real competition the Americans will never be shut out
Ram mustang Escalade ct-6 Tahoe Tesla
well, the list was about value and it is safe to say that excluding the c8, gm doesn’t deliver.
Another excellent GM product stopped manufacturing like the Chevrolet Cruze because of bad marketing & sales decisions. should be ashamed to be receiving luxury salaries to give such a terrible results. Shame on you
Because triple zero yo! It’s all about the climate change don’t ya know.
Leave it to GM to brag on the Impala at the same time it is killing it off! It is an excellent auto—one of the best that GM makes. I would have bought the 2014 if it offered AWD—which the Ford model competing with it did. The Buick LaCrosse offered AWD but didn’t have the quality, ride, etc. of the Impala but thousands higher
