2020 Chevy Impala Trims Comparison

2020 Impala trim level differences

The 2020 Chevrolet Impala is a full-size sedan available in two trim levels. The LT replaces the discontinued LS as the entry-level Impala. It has many standard features and a pair of option packages. Buyers who want the whole shebang can upgrade to the Premier model, which has two packages that further upgrade its equipment offerings. Both trims utilize a 3.6-liter V6 (305 horsepower, 264 lb-ft of torque) that sends power to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.

Standard features on the Impala LT include 18-inch wheels, heated mirrors, remote engine start, keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air vents, a power driver's seat, faux-leather and cloth combination upholstery, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, an 8-inch touchscreen, and a six-speaker audio system with two USB ports, satellite radio and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

The Impala LT also offers two upgrade packages. The Driver Confidence package includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors. There's also the Convenience package, which brings heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and household-style power outlet.

Upgrading to the Premier adds 19-inch wheels, xenon headlights, unique exterior accents, ambient lighting, a power passenger seat, leather upholstery, a wireless smartphone charging pad, a navigation system, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system with a CD player. It also includes the LT's Driver Confidence package, plus heated front seats and the power outlet. A sunroof is available as a stand-alone option.

Feature suites for the Premier include the Premier Convenience package (adds ventilated front seats, a heated and power-adjustable steering wheel, driver-seat memory settings, and auto-dimming rearview and driver-side mirrors) and the Premier Confidence package (includes 20-inch wheels, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and lane departure warning).

Which 2020 Impala trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're considering the Chevy Impala over the smaller Malibu, chances are you want a comfy cruiser that feels a little special. To that end, skip over the base LT and opt for the Premier, which includes advanced safety features, upgraded headlights and leather. We also think it's worth getting the Premier Convenience package, which costs little and adds a surprising number of desirable luxury features.
