The EPA estimates fuel economy numbers for the V6 at 19/29 mpg. The FlexFuel-capable engine runs on either regular unleaded gasoline or E85 fuel.

Traction control, four-wheel antilock brakes, and the StabiliTrak electronic stability control come standard. The front-wheel-drive Impala LS rides on  16-inch steel wheels with all-season tires.
