I have this car exact car and from a guy who changes cars way to frequently, this one is a keeper. It is a pleasure to drive. I am impressed with it nearly daily. Power is ample for a sedan and fuel economy in my opinion is excellent given the power it has on tap. Jump into traffic and the traction control fights to keep the front tires planted. Handles better than any sedan ive ever owned as well. Its quiet yet throaty when you tromp on it. Keep your eye on the used market. I picked this up 1 year old with 6300 miles on it for 23K in as new condition. You wont be disappointed.
Wow. All that blacked out trim makes this car look mean as hell.
It used to be if you found yourself riding in a black Impala you were being brought to a Police Station.
The new 2016 Chevy Impala hopes to change all that.
+Khu NoPie I did notice people moving out of the way when they saw it coming.
Bet no one would dare to pass you. This may be the perfect car. The sedan bargain of the 2015-16 season if you will.TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes
+TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes only charger can do that
Reason cuz ford EcoBoost is faster and better contract all three take turns
Lol
I have this car. Only dealer had it was MUNDAY in Houston Tx. But my opinion a GAS GUZZLER. Its a Midnight Edition 2016 LTZ fully Loaded. Loving Sunroof and OnStar and it drives NICE!
Congratulations. Does yours come with sunroof ?
+Rayoody2012 YES it does. I am really loving everything about the car. OnStar is my favorite
+Ateya congratulations, I'm torn between it and the Avalon. This looks more sexier, but Avalon is more reliable. Both at the same price
+Ateya What do you get for fuel economy in it?
Ateya Rich what kind of gas mileage do you get?
this sounds like an episode on abc 20/20
I'll take that as a compliment!
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews yes lol
I REALLY like this blacked out edition. Sharp. Appears to be a quality vehicle. I'd take this over an Avalon or a Maxima any day.
امبالا
WOW, I love it! I currently own the black on black 2014 Impala LT and I am still in love with it. I would seriously check out this new edition soon.
looks good. Would have been better with RWD, or at least AWD, with a v8 SS option. $39,000 though...that's almost Camaro SS territory.
But a Camaro SS doesn't come close to the tech that this car has...sadly 😢 I wish it did, I love Camaro's
It will with the outting of the SS sedan this is gonna have to be their next muscle sedan
New camaro looks likes like an asian car. The rear is horrible.
Beautiful car inside and out, with the exception of the steering well. In true GM fashion, they mess at least one thing up.
2 things it doesnt have a sunroof
Actually this edition looks as sexy as hell!!! Great reviewer, by the way!
P.S. I'm subscribing!
omg I think it looks good...
+keri ellerbe said no one ever
+yes sir you're probably a German car guy ! Typical
+Ima smokaahh I'm a car guy who happens to own a German .I am trading in for a 09 g8 gt after the New Years .
keri ellerbe I totally agree. it's a great looking larger American sedan.
And you can drive it in M, stick shift...love that feature too
Try the HEMI and u will forget about this car quick
The Hemi is tens of thousands of dollars more and then you have to fuel it and insure it and maintain it and you’ve got every other driver either wanting to race you or thinking you’re a douchebag (because you likely are).
And the number of cars you will lose to is still almost as high as the ones you’ll win against.
And who buys this car to race? Fucking Dodge owners... so insecure. That’s why you had to shell out for an R/T because the Impala would wax the SXT or GT.
@@Bartonovich52 that isn't wrong 🙂.
Nice summary 👌.
bring back the Impala SS
Yes
MidnightClubsSR agreed
Steve -- the reason why the gas mileage isn't as good as Toyota Avalon is because the 3.6L V-6 has 305 hp, while the others are 290 hp and under, except for the Nissan Maxima, which has 300 horses, but it's hooked up with their CVT, thus getting better mileage.
+Billy Sou Yes, that's right. The Impala feels darn fast.
+Billy Sou Exactly. Remember this is the same engine the V6 Camero has. For it's size the car is fast and on the highway you can do over 100 and it feels like you are going 55. Quiet and comfortable ride that has plenty of power. I am averaging the same MPG with my V6 305hp engine that I did with my previous car that had a 4 179hp engine. It's all about how you drive. I drive mostly city miles and I am heavy footed.
Glenn Sandagata Glenn, what was your average?
+Billy Sou I'm averaging 18 mpg. But I drive 95% city in a town with constant stop and start. My 2010 Malibu with the I4 got around the same. Plus I have a lead foot. When I took a 200 mile highway drive I was getting mid 20s.
Avalon's hp? 268
This car should go back to its roots.
The Black Panther!
i got the 2016 ltz ...love it but i think they should dabble into awd sedans soon
blah blahblah you think they will make a impala ss?
"Interact with text messages more safely" I just never look at my phone when I drive, so that's an even safer way I suppose :P
I never do either. But this takes Siri Eyes Free to another level. Not much different than listening to the radio and singing along.
+TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes امبالا
I don't know if it's the taillight shape or just the graphics themselves but those are the only issues I have with this car. Chevy did a great job with this one.
This is how every Impala should look like. I sold one LTZ2 Midnight and wow it was a car.
Man this car looks good.
Steve, you mentioned Apple Carplay - is Android Auto an option?
This is going to be my next car!!!!!
Impala SS, please bring it back. I'll buy one tomorrow.
wow what a change with the Impala from '57 i was in some years ago =P
So you could get this for 40k or a scatpack for 40k......I think I’m going with the rwd v8, even though I’ve already had a 2016 impala ltz
where's the SS model??!
Waiting for the retirement of the Chevy SS sedan :-( I got a feeling their gonna make this their benchmark sports sedan. But they have to switch it back to rwd
+vincealinceable ya, honestly I would much rather have an impala with a v8 rwd 400+hp beast of a sedan available as a sport model and if not that the ss. Still the impala or malibu would make great sports sedans that I think could possibly rival some of bmw's cars.
Chevy Johnson I do like the looks of the Impala better, but around 40k pricepoint as is with a V6 and FWD, I can only imagine what the price GM will think of for a Impala Sport...
that's does sound good, lets hope, no more holden commodore, maybe that will be the next ss
I love impalas
Wow that looks good. I wish it had AWD!
Yess.... make it AWD and put a detune TTV6 in it as a option and I bet they want have a problem selling it...
I think I would look at the 300S model
Its a shame the buick sedans got all the good options awd / turbos ect.. this one looks the best out of GMS sedans but it gets fwd even with the v6 option why!?
I have a 2016 black impala ltz, does anyone know if I can do this upgrade to the midnight edition and if so where?
Yes u can
I love the old impalas then the new one
Of you are saying that the older ones are better I can completely agree. They just aren't that fun of cars anymore. They could have the regular models like they do not but they never touch v8 engines or rwd or awd as options for a sport model. I honestly think that with all of the new tech that goes into a camaro that can outrun a new porsche it could be an amazing car not only on the streets but possibly on the track too.
Sunroof?
Love your reviews Steve, great job. I wonder - what does Mr. Hammes drive ? :-)
+Nawaz Jiwa Thank you! Usually whatever I have in the test fleet, otherwise I own a 2001 Tacoma Prerunner V6 Double Cab.

Cruisin Down The Street In My 16
who the cares about a steering wheel the car is sexy lol
because when you're driving you're looking at the steering wheel more than the outside of the car....duh lol
DKhisa dum fuck
love the look, love to buy it but at the price I think ill just get the new acura tlx awd..
It's not the same as it used to be back in the 90's or 80's. I preferred the older models much better than the current ones without any spirit.
awesome car and review
Good review.
Considering this one but why not get a BMW for the same price?
+Eric Nelson This competes with the BMW 5 series, and tops out in the low 40's. Not sure which comparable BMW 5 series you think you're going to get for that price unless it's CPO (or just plain used). New? Fuhgeddaboutit.
Still no LED taillights. Still looks good though.
should do something about tail lights
$1,195.00 bucks! I’m on it!!!!!!
Surprised they sell so many, I barely see any here in So Fl, except for the rentals. This could have been a Caddy and it would have sold better.
+pedrof830 There's a Caddy version of this, the Cadillac XTS.
+Billy Sou And it sells like a turd. Good thing the XTS has a short production span.
+TotalMCAddict It sells well... for the senior set.
one of my biggest pet peeves is black cars with black seats, black carpet....and tan or grey pillars amd headliner....wtf
Me too 😑 I'm gonna change my headliner black and wrap my pillars in black leather. I do upholstery
No sunroof????? Keep it
Nice car but for another $7k, I think the SS sedan would be the better buy for some people. 415 hp, rwd, availability of a manual, and much better resale value.
They don't make this in an SS.
@@POPJack1717 I didn't say there was. I was suggesting getting an SS instead of an Impala. Looks like I nailed it on the resale value comment. They are selling for more now than they were new.
wait, do you think the iPhone is capable of wireless charging?
I'll wait for until they make a RWD Impala.
I'm thinking between this and a new Sierra
It all depends on if you want a sedan or truck but I've drove an impala and it truly is a good car
Go for the Impala. Trust me I own one. Check out my 2015 model here on RUclips.
+Bmackins94 do you need to tow and or haul stuff? is yes get the truck if no get the impala
+Andrew C aftermarket rims?!? For $300? most likely the ride on those will be rough. Not fitting for an Impala, imo.
Eric Seminole tint for 300.....................
Love the car but they still need to improve the quality of the volume
Winchesters should defintely upgrade to this car impala 67 is getting old
Car looks great. Steering wheel game weak af. And that's one of the things I like the most about cars. What a shame.
It looks good but looks plain. The interior is just as bland. No sunroof or anything. 39k I don't think so Chevy
Very nice car if its made in America with American parts.
Did he say priced at $1,195?
I'll TAKE IT
Almost looks like a '94-'96 SS model. If it wanted to be.
Funny how we talked about the car like it was a iPhone more than a 305 hp gorgeous car.
Beautiful
I don't see this car on the road at all
DaOldSchoolRapLova96 only a few are available.
they need to put that package on the ss
Nice looking car but no sunroof 👎
Strictly highway I'm averaging 31 mpg
Of course iphone doesn't support wireless charging.
omg i love this impala
شفروليت ✌👏🚀🚀
mine has peanut butter seats
A lot of uncover officers will be getting this car.. Well the government.
+Tino Miller one of my pals got pulled over by an all black mustang and chevy.
I think everything on this car looks good except for the front. It looks outdated compared to the new grills Chevy is going for like with the new Traverse.
Slap the damn stingray motor in it, give it magnetic ride control, and add the SS to the end of it already! Give me all that and AWD and I'll get one tomorrow. Not really interested in the super old engine tech of the chevy SS (got my attention a little though). Was really hoping that was a one and done-er to test the waters and that they would give us a true impala SS by now.
What kind of V8 sports sedan do you have in your driveway?
That’s right... none... just like everyone who says they will buy one but never does.
Meanwhile, Honda, KIA, Toyota, and Hyundai can’t keep four cylinder cars on their lots they sell so fast.
@@Bartonovich52 wow. This is old. Not sure if you were replying directly to me after all these years, but if you were, I currently own a jeep srt. At the time of my post I owned a charger RT. Before that, a 2001 impala ss. Supercharged V6 , I know, but relevant still I think. So, I would have bought newer impala it if they made it an appealing sports car and would never be caught dead owning any of the cars you mentioned. Good day.
now drop an ls and make it rear wheel drive forget the ss that car isnt selling
No LED tail lights either!
I want one of these so bad, but there's only one around me and they want an arm and a leg for it.
FWD chevys, GM passed in the wrong side of european and asian cars :c
You could do the same thing yourself and tint the windows too for $300...
no chance you could do that. FYI the wheels alone are painted and have a clear coat over the black...much like the body. No plasti-dip junk. I know because I own one of the very first 2015 Chevy Impala Midnight Editions. Check me here on RUclips for yourself.
+Eric Seminole you can get aftermarket rims that have more offset making it look even more aggressive plus the window tint for the same price as what you paid though , sick car dont get me wrong but going the aftermarket way will give you the best look
+Andrew C You forgot the part about it being your opinion. lol
$39k? WOW, the original Lexus LS was way less than that.
+pedrof830 The first Lexus LS was $35k in 1990 which in today's money may be around $55-60k (those who adjust for inflation, please reply). However, in the full-sized segment (Impala, Kia Cadenza, Hyundai Azera, Dodge Charger, Toyota Avalon, Ford Taurus, Nissan Maxima), this Impala is far and away the best in class. I see a lot of Impalas around my area, around Indianapolis.
Billy Sou
I did ride in one and if I had been blindfolded, I would have sworn I was riding a high-end luxury car. You're right about the inflation thing, just too bad that most folks' take home pay has not kept up with the increase in car prices.
+pedrof830 That's MSRP in the real world you can get that down to 34-36k. My 2015 Impala was $36 and I paid 30k after negotiations
+Billy Sou you're about right. Adjusted for inflation, the Impala is almost exactly what it was in 1993. The funny thing is, that was an SS with souped up performance, while this is a cruiser, but a cruiser that is faster and quicker with the 3.6.
Yea 30 years ago haha
me gustan los chevys
Coulda had better looking wheels
Had a ride with a rented 2016 Impala today for a business ride. I was very disappointed with how the car reacted to side winds. And no, the renting company did not put cheap tires on the car so this is no excuse. The gas mileage ain't impressive at all and I really had the impression to drive a 90s car. The Chevy Volt is much funnier to drive.
Overall, I was very disappointed and would never recommend that car to anybody. In this category, the VW Passat does a much better job.
I would've really consider your argument if only it was one. Back of the line, kid.
Still not a single proper argument. 0/2.
No RWD option? No thanks.
Thats what they have the chevy ss for.(impala) look it up.. Ls3 v8 6 speed manual rwd
+daury2006 The chevy SS is about $60k. Once again, no thanks.
Jag Xf beats all
Yeah. Beats it in how expensive it is, how much value it will lose, how many repairs it will need, etc etc.
should have one with less performance and better fuel economy as thats all thats keeping me away from it
They do have 4 cylinders
I WANT I WANT I WANT GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Great, only 34,000$US. Holy crap and a half. Are they selling electronics or car? Make with a lot of plastic trim in different color, check the roof line and the back pillar »» it look like: Ok the day is over, ship it like it. Biggest seller compare to Avalon Who own an Avalon? and chrysler 300 together. Who own a Chrysler 300 dating from more than 10 years model? Not to hard to beat. Another trap from GM. 34.000$US. i will buy a use Mercedes for the same price or an Audi with a lot of style not a lot of plastic add to an old police impala.
Audi....not lot of plastic?? what era you live in. No car these days has full metal bumpers unless you pay,for a decent truck.
You bash a car you never driven before. It is the typical none relevant commentators like yourself. That make none relevant retorts about shit you know nothing about.
ohhh and enjoy your plastic audi
only a die hard American would spend money on this.
“particarly”
Too expensive for a Chevy! There are other cars with premium nameplates available for that money!
+Steve W sure with no options you could get some really basic buicks or Lincolns... but, any ford, Chrysler, or Toyota will reach that price with some options easily, its not the most expensive in its class... keep that in mind.
Cars in general are expensive these days... I think this is worth it..
+Steve W I own an almost loaded 2015 Impala. Great car and same money or less as it's direct competition. Remember a base 20k car can turn into a 36k loaded car. I've driven alot of cars including ones that cost over 100k and the Impala is one of the best rides I've driven. Very good car and worth the money.
+Glenn Sandagata Ditt Glenn, I have the new style 2014 LTZ with all but 2 options. It is super reliable, fuel mileage is always better than EPA estimates. I averaged 29 MPG on a 2,000 trip from SLC to Port Angeles WA and back. It is very comfortable on long trips, handles great and instills a great deal of confidence behind the wheel. It has PLENTY of power and the Bose sound system is outstanding. Plus I bought it on end of year 20% off sale, paid $32K which is an outstanding deal. There has been one recall for a zero-point calibration on the front passenger seat. It took the dealer 5 minutes to recalibrate it. No other recalls.
Some people still don't realize the new Impala is a whole new car from the old Impala Limited fleet/rental but they haven't done their homework. Check any youtube review and do not overlook the fact that Consumer Reports rated the new 2014 Impala higher than any other full size sedan except the Tesla S and a $100K BMW. As Glenn states, you have to spend more than twice the money to get a better car. You can get nearly everything the Cadillac XTS has minus the bling for $20K less. The Impala 3.6L V6 and drive-train are same as the XTS.
I do like the look of the Midnight Edition, but I like my Tricoat Crystal Red better, best color in my opinion for the Impala.
A few things I don't like are: Chrome mirrors, too much bling for my liking. I plan on painting them same red as the car. Chrome strip over the blue interior accent light on dash reflects sunlight like a mirror, can be obnoxious. Rear visibility is not that good with the high rear deck. But the backup camera takes care of that. The limited visibility took some getting used to. Some people don't like the tail lights. Maybe Chevy could have made them look more like a Camaro. The front end is very aggressive and looks great. My financial adviser has the same car, he says it looks like a Camaro ate a Malibu. Not a bad description.
I did a lot of research before I bought my car. I initially wanted the XTS but after reading and watching the glowing Impala LTZ reviews, I found the car I wanted and got it for the price I wanted. I am very happy with mine.
+Steve W Going by inflation, this car is priced at the level of the famed 1993 Impala SS, but performs better, is quicker and has far more safety and technology. If anything its a bargain.
Looks similar to Camaro
mAkE iT a V8 wItH aWd!1!1!1!1!
(Goes and buys a four cylinder crossover).
The steering wheel in this car is so lame!
What an ugly steering wheel
+kyle mitlyng I like that car and its streering wheel!
+King Fancy uhh its circular, contains an airbag, cruise control and audio, OH and it makes the wheels turn
+King Fancy My steering wheel has an aspect of design.
+King Fancy that's cute
This video has nothing to do with impalas, therefore, I dislike it.
The steering wheel helps fat drivers with big bellies.
are u kidding me. all black makes that car ugle. that is a nice car but everything black makes it look like shit.
