2019 Chevrolet Impala: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The 2019 Chevrolet Impala is essentially a carryover, with no major mechanical, styling, safety, or structural updates. The main change is that built-in navigation on the LT moved from standard equipment to optional.
About the 2019 Chevrolet Impala
10th generation (2014-2020), sixth year of the generation and a late-cycle, largely unchanged model year.
Chevrolet positioned the Impala as a traditional full-size sedan for buyers who wanted room, comfort, and simple technology without moving into an SUV. Its core appeal was a big back seat, a large trunk, a quiet highway ride, and an available V6 for effortless passing. Compared with many midsize sedans, the Impala leaned more toward easy long-distance comfort and a slightly more upscale feel than sportiness.
The LS is the straightforward, roomy version, with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a power driver’s seat. The LT adds everyday comforts such as remote start and dual-zone automatic climate control, while the Premier brings a V6, built-in navigation, Bose audio, wireless charging, and added parking and blind-spot aids.
