Quiet strength exemplifies the new 2006 Chevy Impala – an inherited attribute that
is blended into a sporty sedan that offers stylish design, stirring performance and
surprising details, including the latest version of the legendary small-block V-8
in the performance-oriented Impala SS.
The new Impala enters the mid-car segment with enhanced premium-quality features
and attention to detail, including innovative flip-and-fold rear seats and revised
suspension systems that deliver comfortable, quiet and more confident ride and
handling characteristics. These new ingredients improve on an already popular
recipe for driving satisfaction.
"Roominess, comfort and performance all are great attributes of the 2006 Impala,
but just as important is the assuring strength felt when you're driving it," said
Brent Dewar, General Motors North America vice president of marketing and
advertising. "Impala competes in the largest segment of the industry, where the
performance and comfort exemplified by the 2006 model will help Chevrolet assert
its leadership role there."
With more than 1.2 million sales since its 1999 introduction, including more than
290,000 in 2004 – an 8.4 percent increase over 2003 – the Impala has cultivated a
growing family of new and returning customers. The '06 model builds on the
qualities on which those customers have come to rely by adding new features and
enhancing others.
Standard and available safety features include ABS, traction control and
side-curtain roof rail air bags on Impala. A new family of premium-feature V-6
engines, which include variable valve timing to optimize performance and economy,
is standard in the LS, LT and LTZ models, with LS and LT models receiving a new
3.5L V-6 that produces 211 (157 kw) horsepower and 214 lb.-ft. (290 Nm) of torque.
Standard in LTZ and available in LT models is a new 242-horsepower (180 kw)* 3.9L
V-6 built on the same architecture as the 3.5L engine, but with additional features
such as variable intake technology.
The unique Impala SS is powered by the all-new 5.3L small-block V-8 with
Displacement on Demand (DOD) technology, which regulates between eight-cylinder and
four-cylinder operation and provides up to 8 percent improved fuel economy in
certain light-load driving conditions. The 5.3L small-block V-8 is rated at 303
horsepower (226 kw) and 323 lb.-ft. (438 Nm) of torque.
