2016 Chevy Impala: A Lot of Space for a Lower Price

The 2016 Chevy Impala is a vehicle that gives you more bang for your buck; but not in a way you would expect. The Impala is a sedan that offers you room for five, with plenty of storage space added on. Along with a spacious interior, the Impala provides clever little nooks and crannies for even more storage opportunity. All this space comes in at a relatively low price, especially when considering what other goodies this family-sedan is loaded with. Like safety features, good fuel economy, and great engine performance.

Compared to the competition, the 2016 Chevy Impala is the sedan that provides some of the best storage options for you and the rest of your family; along with plenty of passenger space to go with it. 

Passenger Room

The overall passenger volume of the 2016 Impala is 105 cubic-feet. Which is a number that’s hard to judge, so here’s some more relatable numbers to actually see how comfortably it can sit 5 passengers. The overall head room of the Impala is just over 3 feet, which is average for your typical sedan. The front hip room comes in at about 4.5 feet, and same for the hip room in the back. The rear shoulder room is a nice surprise, seeing as the back is almost just as much as the front. The shoulder room in the front and rear comes in at around five feet; which means there is plenty of room for the kids or your friends. Topping it all off, the Impala offers a generous amount of leg room. The front leg room is about 4 feet, and the back leg room is approaching 3.5 feet. Take the leg room and combine it with the 3 feet of headroom, and you have a sedan that can comfortably fit everybody.

What this spec heavy paragraph means is the Impala has plenty of room to fit a 5 person family, and certainly more than enough for a 4 person one.

Cargo Space

The trunk volume on the 2016 Impala is 18.8 cubic-feet, which is plenty of room to drop a few suitcases in for a long trip. What really sets the Impala apart though, is it’s unique storage options inside the cabin. For a sedan this size, there is plenty of space inside the cabin to utilize; and Chevy recognized the potential. This clever storage space is led by a compartment that’s behind the touchscreen. This compartment is lockable, and then the screen hides it from view. It’s a perfect place to keep some extra cash for emergencies, or any other valuables you might be worried about leaving unattended for a certain amount of time. Along with this, there is hidden storage in the trunk; which also means the trunk has more than the 18.8 cubic-feet than you initially thought. Rounding it all off are the umbrella pockets found up front.

Even though the umbrella pockets and hidden compartment in the trunk might be standard on most sedans now and days, the compartment behind the touch screen isn’t. Which gives the Impala an edge in the market for storage space.

Price

The price of the 2016 Chevy Impala comes in at a base MSRP of $27,095, which is a low price for a sedan loaded with these types of features. Naturally, you aren’t just paying for storage space when it comes to the Impala; it has so much more. But, the spacious interior and storage options provided are definitely a highlight of this vehicle.

The 2016 Chevy Impala is a car that combines the sleek and smooth styling of a sedan, with an inside that makes you feel like you are sitting in a mini van. Making the Impala an above average sedan for the low-price of an average one.
