About the 2013 Chevrolet Impala
9th generation (2006-2013), final year before the all-new 10th-generation redesign for 2014.
Chevrolet positioned the 2013 Impala as a roomy, traditional full-size sedan with strong V6 power, simple controls, and everyday comfort. Its core appeal was straightforward: a big back seat and trunk, easy highway manners, available seating for up to six on some trims, and familiar features that were easy to use. Against competitors, it leaned more on space, proven mechanicals, and value than on cutting-edge cabin tech.
The 2013 Impala is a roomy full-size sedan offered in three straightforward versions, all with a 300-hp V6 and six-speed automatic. LS covers the basics, LT adds conveniences such as remote start and a folding rear seat, and LTZ brings heated leather-appointed seats and Bose audio.
