Impala Engine, Transmission, & Fuel Economy America's number one choice in large sedans, the steadfast Chevy Impala has been around for more than 50 years, in large part due to its reliability, smooth and quiet ride, easy-to-use controls, seating that sits up to 6, voluminous trunk with 18 cubic feet of space inside, and a roomy cabin that manages to be even more spacious than that of the Lexus LS460. The 2011 Chevrolet Impala, available in Rocky Mount, VA, carries on this tradition of excellence admirably. And you can find this vehicle here at Midpoint Chevrolet Buick GMC, serving Roanoke, Lynchburg, Alta Vista, Martinsville, and Salem, VA.
Available in base LS, midlevel LT, and range-topping LTZ trim levels, the 2011 Impala gets its power from either a 3.5-liter V6 that generates 211 horsepower and 216 pound-feet of torque or a 3.9-liter V6 that puts out 224 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. Both engines, which feature Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and are available in fuel-efficient E85 FlexFuel versions, are mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. As previously stated, the trunk features 18 cubic feet of space inside of it; longer items can also be transported thanks to the segment-exclusive flip-and-fold-flat rear seat. With comfortable seating for up to 6 people, the Impala handily beats out competitors like the Ford Taurus, Dodge Charger, and Nissan Maxima that do not offer this kind of seating arrangement. Fuel economy on the 3.9L, at 17 city/27 highway MPG, is slightly less than that on the 3.5L, which gets 19 city/29 highway MPG â?" the best highway V6 fuel economy in its class, once again beating out the Ford Taurus, Dodge Charger, and Nissan Maxima.
