2014 Chevrolet Impala Production Begins
Chevrolet has commenced the production of the tenth-generation Chevrolet Impala yesterday at the company's Ontario's Oshawa Assembly plant. The all-new 2014 Impala will begin arriving in Chevrolet showrooms this month.
“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 of our employees at Oshawa Assembly.”
The 2014 Impala will also be manufactured at General Motors’ Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant, starting in May. The 2014 Impala has several new features, including Adaptive Cruise Control and crash-avoidance technologies like Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert. Ten standard airbags are included – among the most in the segment.
Chevrolet’s latest MyLink radio debuts in the 2014 Impala. The in-vehicle entertainment system includes a customizable eight-inch colour display screen. The system also adopts natural voice recognition – a first for Chevrolet.
Three direct-injection engine choices will be available: a 3.6L V-6, a newly designed 2.5L four-cylinder and a 2.4L four-cylinder with fuel-saving eAssist technology estimated to deliver up to 14.88kmpl on highway driving. All engines are matched to a six-speed automatic transmission.
The 2014 Chevrolet Impala is built at Oshawa’s state-of-the-art Flexible Manufacturing line along with the Chevrolet Camaro, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS.
