“The 2020 Chevrolet Impala is a very reliable vehicle. The comfort and interior room and size are very important to me and the Chevrolet Impala meets what I am looking for. It is a semi luxury vehicle without a luxury pricetag.”
2020 Chevrolet Impala: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2020 Chevrolet Impala is a simplified lineup: Chevrolet dropped the LS trim and 2.5-liter four-cylinder, leaving only LT and Premier models with V6 power. Otherwise, the Impala carried over without major styling, safety, or infotainment updates.
About the 2020 Chevrolet Impala
10th generation (2014-2020), final model year before discontinuation.
The 2020 Impala is Chevrolet’s big, comfort-focused sedan. Its core appeal is simple: generous passenger room, a very large trunk, easy highway manners, and stronger V6 power than many family sedans offered by the end of its run. Compared with midsize sedans, the Impala leans more toward long-trip comfort and back-seat space than sporty handling, making it a good fit for drivers who want a roomy, traditional full-size car with straightforward tech.
The 2020 Impala is a roomy full-size sedan offered in two forms. The practical LT has an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the more upscale Premier adds leather seating, navigation, Bose audio, heated front seats, and blind-spot monitoring.

2020 Chevrolet Impala
(136 reviews)
“It is everything you would want in a new vehicle. It's spacious with quite a bit of trunk space; it is safety oriented. I love how the lights have little lights that light up everything internally at night so you don't have to search. It's sporty and fun to drive. The only negative thing I see is it picks up road noise badly; that's the only thing I would change about it.”
“Great all around vehicle. World class tech. Good balance of performance, comfort, reliability, styling.”
