2008 Chevrolet Impala 2LT

A bigger engine sits in the 2008 Chevrolet Impala 2LT. Its 3.9-liter, flex-fuel E85 V6 delivers 233 hp and 240 ft-lbs of torque at 4,000 RPM in this full-size sedan. Paired with a four-speed automatic, the front-wheel-drive Impala 2LT averages 18/28 mpg. This engine also features Active Fuel Management, which deactivates cylinders for the sake of efficiency.

Moving up to the 2008 Impala 2LT also gets you standard 4-wheel ABS in addition to the 4-wheel disc brakes and electronic brakeforce distribution. Traction and stability control are also both standard, joining the dual front-side and side curtain airbags for both rows. Automatic headlights, halogen lamps, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and foglights take care of lighting. Larger 17-inch wheels with all-season tires come with a tire monitor. OnStar adds extra security.

Many of the options for the LT are standard on the 2LT. Upgrades include wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls, a 60/40 split-folding rear bench that opens onto the 18.6-cubic-foot trunk, remote start, and leather trim. Already standard are a 6-way power driver's seat (a 6-way power passenger seat is optional); remote entry; power windows, locks, and mirrors; a CD player with MP3 input and satellite radio; a trip computer; wood accents; intermittent wipers; and a tachometer. Seats are arranged stadium style for better visibility, and a split-folding front bench can be added. Two power outlets sit up front. You can add more luxury with optional leather upholstery, a sunroof, heated mirrors, a garage opener, and an 8-speaker Bose audio system with a 6-CD changer.
