Exterior and Interior
Look closely into the Impala Sedan’s taillamps for signs of a somewhat common water leak, which is likely caused by a failed gasket. Over time, the gasket on some Impala Sedan taillight assemblies can fail, allowing water to enter the taillamp assembly, where it can cause mould, poor light transmission, or corrosion to the wiring. This leak may also allow water to enter the Impala Sedan’s trunk, where it could result in mould, odour, and other issues. Fully check the taillamps, and the trunk (including the area beneath the cargo floor cover) for signs of current or past water damage. Have a dealer address the issue if you detect it.
2026 Chevy Impala Sedan Specs
On your Impala Sedan test drive, be sure to give all displays and interfaces a good workout – playing music from various sources, confirming compatibility with your smartphone, plotting a navigation destination, toggling through the driver computer, connecting to OnStar, and more. Some owners have reported wonky display interfaces and readouts that may freeze or crash, possibly when certain devices are connected, or when certain functions are activated. A hard-reset of the system may fix the problem, or (pricier) new componentry may be required. Though reported somewhat rarely, issues with on-board electronics like this can be pricey to address, so you’ll want to know about them before you buy. Dealerships may have access to a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) to help speed assessment and repair if this problem is detected. 2026 Chevy Impala Sedan MPG
Engine and Performance
Impala Sedan offered four- or six-cylinder power, by way of a 2.5-litre four-cylinder, good for 196 horsepower, or the (highly advised) 3.6-litre V6, with 305 horsepower. Some models offered a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with a light-hybrid eAssist system as well. All models ran an automatic transmission and were front-wheel drive.
Pay close attention to the transmission on the Impala Sedan you’re considering and be on the lookout for possible trouble signs. Some owners have reported a shuddering or hesitation sensation when accelerating gently up an incline as a precursor to transmission problems. Any struggling, hesitation, slipping, hard shifting, or difficulty engaging the proper gear can be a sign of trouble, though this issue hasn’t been reported with sufficient frequency, against total sales volume, to cause much worry. Still, protect yourself from expensive repairs by confirming that all transmission servicing (fluid changes) are up to date, that no trouble codes are in play with the transmission (a diagnostic scan will reveal this). 2026 Chevy Impala Sedan MPG
2026 Chevy Impala Sedan Fuel Economy
After purchasing the Impala Sedan you’re considering, (or while at a GM dealer for a Pre-Purchase Inspection), provide the VIN number of the Impala Sedan to a service advisor and ask whether any software updates or recall campaigns may be outstanding. Software updates can address or prevent possible issues with a multitude of vehicle components, fixing issues with anything from battery drain to poor fuel mileage to hard shifting from the transmission, and more.
Recall campaigns involve some corrective action performed by the dealer, free of charge, to address latent issues that may affect vehicle safety. Impala Sedan has no fewer than eight recall campaigns, so be sure to have any applicable recall work completed as soon as possible. Note that a dealer may require consent of the vehicle’s owner to look up recall or software update information, if you visit before buying the vehicle. 2026 Chevy Impala Sedan MPG
2026 Chevy Impala Sedan Safety Features
Numerous owners have reported issues with non-functional blind-spot monitoring, which may present itself via flashing warning lights on the mirrors, error messages in the instrument cluster, or random illumination of the warning light for no apparent reason. This problem is remedied by having a dealer install a new module, or in some cases, reprogram the existing one. Note that in the discussion thread above, some owners suggest installing the new module at home to avoid labour charges, or suggest disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to fix this problem. 2026 Chevy Impala Sedan MPG
Neither course of action is advisable: modules need to be programmed to the specific vehicle in order to work properly, and interrupting battery power doesn’t reset problems like this, and can cause issues in other vehicle electronics. The gist? If a complex system like blind-spot monitoring is acting up, having a dealer address it is the best course of action.
2026 Chevy Impala Sedan Price and Release Date
There are enough features available on the options list that you can drive in the lap of luxury with such amenities as adaptive cruise control (a $1,315 option), ventilated seats with memory positions (part of the $1,365 comfort and convenience package) and Bose Premium Audio ($795), plus standard features of the top LTZ trim like proximity keyless entry and start, back-up camera with parking assist sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot monitoring and satellite radio.
