How much does the Chevrolet Impala cost in today's market?

Used Chevrolet Impala prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Chevrolet Impala's current nationwide average price is $9,792, and its year-round low is $9,747.37. That puts the model's pricing in a fairly accessible range for a full-size sedan, with older model years offering the lowest entry points.
Recently, prices have come down for the 2018, 2019, and 2020 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Chevrolet Impala a good car?

Yes — the Chevrolet Impala is a strong used-car pick if you want a roomy, comfortable full-size sedan with broad owner appeal. The all-generations owner rating is 4.49/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Impala for its spacious cabin, comfortable ride, and strong value. Across the model years, the car also earns repeated praise for its easy-to-use controls, smooth highway manners, and overall practicality for families and long trips.

Expert reviews rate the 2014 and 2015 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs show up in recent expert-tested years: the base four-cylinder is described as underpowered for such a large sedan, and several desirable driver-assistance features were often bundled into higher trims or option packages. Even so, the Impala remains appealing because it delivers a lot of space and comfort for the money.

23.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
