What Changed

The Impala is signifcantly updated for 2006. A new smoother style marks the outside of the vehicle while retaining the same look in the greenhouse. An updated interior features a new instrument panel, upgraded seats and flip-and-fold design rear seats. Three new powerplants are offered, a 210hp 3.5L V6, a 240hp 3.9L V6, and a 303hp 5.3L V8. All powerplants are mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
