This week, the production of the tenth generation Chevrolet Impala began. The 2014 Impala rolled off the assembly line at Ontario’s very own Oshawa Assembly plant.

“The all-new Impala demonstrates the new direction of Chevrolet,” said Kevin Williams, president and managing director of GM Canada. “Our employees in Oshawa have executed a flawless plan in bringing this iconic nameplate to life. The newly-redesigned Impala will exceed customers’ expectations because of the hard work and dedication of our employees at Oshawa Assembly.”

Some of the new features available in the new Impala include Adaptive Cruise Control, crash avoidance technologies like Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert.

Technologically advanced – the new Impala will include the latest MyLink in-vehicle entertainment system which features a customizable color display screen and a natural voice recognition system (a first for Chevrolet).

The engine choices available will be a 3.6L V-6, a new 2.5L four-cylinder and a 2.4L four-cylinder with fuel-saving eAssist technology.

The 2014 Impala will start at $28,445 – only $145 more than the 2013 Impala.

The 2014 Chevrolet Impala is on its’ way and should be making an appearance in our showroom very soon. Visit us at www.hamiltonautoblog.com or www.queenstonchev.com for further updates.
