Driving this beast will make you want to find new roads – 2015 Chevrolet Impala #ChevyAmbsdr
If you’re searching for a sturdy, luxurious, spacious full sized sedan. Look no further than the 2015 Chevrolet Impala, it is well built and commands respect on the road.
The Impala has been around since 1958 but it was my first time actually driving one. My first thought when I picked it up was: WOW. Space, space and more space. Luxury. Comfort. I sat in the driver’s seat and practically felt like I had climbed into a plush massage chair at a salon. You’ve undoubtedly heard of heated seats; they are relatively common and a wonderful feature to have in the dead of winter or if you have bad back pain. The 2015 Chevrolet Impala however has seat COOLERS. How amazing is that you wonder? Think humid summer days, your skin is sticky, damp and try as you may, you cannot cool down. Imagine sitting down and having a refreshing dry coolness douse your back. It is perfect for a hot summer day.
Turning on the car felt like being at the helm of a ship. The vehicle is large but once you get used to its dimensions (which doesn’t take much time) it is incredibly fun to drive. It gives you a feeling of authority that typically comes with driving a higher vehicle such as an SUV. The lane departure warning and forward collision alert gave me comfort and peace of mind when travelling with my most important cargo; my family.
The Impala can comfortably seat five and offers plenty of convenient storage. With the push of a button, the available 8-inch diagonal touch-screen display goes up and down, revealing and concealing a lockable compartment with a USB for discreetly charging your smartphone. The center console contains two USB ports and a power outlet for charging multiple devices, plus integrated cup holders to keep beverages secure. There’s also hidden storage under the trunk floor and umbrella holders in the front door pockets to help you stay organized.
I cannot tell you how impressed I was with the spaciousness of this full sized sedan without telling you about the trunk. Let’s just say, pretty much anyone who saw the trunk of the 2015 Chevrolet Impala had immediate trunk envy. I was out with my good friend Jennell. We were driving around and she was admiring the interior of the vehicle. When I stopped to drop her off, I told her how amazing the trunk was. Being the free spirit she is, she hopped right in. Obviously I had to film it.
Here’s what happened when my friend checked out the trunk of the 2015 Chevrolet Canada Impala #ChevyAmbsdr

We took the Impala on a road trip to visit family in Toronto. My kids loved the back seat, their own cup holders and being able to lounge comfortably. I loved the comfortable seats, especially on the drive back when I may or may not have taken a 3ish hour nap.
I definitely appreciated the Bose Active Noise Cancellation included exclusively with the standard Impala engine. It’s no trip to the library when driving with young kids but when they took the inevitable exhausted-from-romping-around-all-weekend-with-their-cousins nap, the triple-sealed doors and acoustic-laminated glass noticeably helped inhibit unwanted noise in the cabin. The silence was well appreciated (while it lasted).
My husband loved the heated steering wheel. While we drove this in warm weather, my husband tested out the heated steering wheel and found it got pretty warm very fast. He has added it to our wishlist for our next vehicle.
The Mr’s feedback:
“It’s a big engine and the car wants to go. It’s a very smooth ride and accelerating seems so much easier than with other cars. It’s hitting higher speeds at lower RPMs so you don’t really feel it but the acceleration is as smooth as freshly churned butter.”
I was REALLY excited to try out the 4G LTE wifi which turns the vehicle into the ultimate hotspot for up to 7 devices however unfortunately, despite testing it out before the drive, when we got on the road Friday evening we learnt that the vehicle was out of wifi minutes. Sadly we were not able to test out this awesome feature so I do not have too much to report this time. My children’s dreams of watching Netflix in the car have been put on hold #firstworldproblems.
We did however make excellent use of the OnStar capabilities in the vehicle. We left from Montreal Friday evening. It’s a drive we have made dozens upon dozens of times and typically not one in which we ever have to really stop. This time was different and we needed to make a few unplanned stops along the way. The friendly and courteous reps at OnStar helped us out and got us where we needed to go, even suggesting stops that we weren’t finding ourselves based on our search criteria!
All in all the 2015 Chevrolet Impala is spacious, luxurious and built for long drives. The added convenience of 4G LTE Wifi and meticulously tailored design give this vehicle the CanadianMomEh two thumbs up!
You guys are the best! LOVED the video!!
On a serious note, my brother-in-law has an Impala and he LOVES it. He says he’s getting another one once his dies. hehe
We are actually starting to look for a new car. The last time we bought a new vehicle was in 2002! I’m going to be putting the Impala on our test drive list!! Thanks so much!
Thanks Christine! Great to hear 🙂 It’s a perfect family sedan.
I love the impala for its spaciousness shown here. You are doing such a great job talking about all the wonderful new features of Chevy.
Thank you so much! I am really glad to know you are enjoying my reviews and learning more about the amazing features Chevy offers in its vehicles.
Love the video! And love the comparison between the 1966 Impala and the 2014 – both great cars. I’ve never driven an Impala but I’m curious to now.
My brother has an Impala and LOVES it. Sometimes I think he loves it more than his girlfriend LOL.
The chevrolet impala cars are very nice cars before we got our lincon we were looking at a impala. The only thing that stopped us was the price tag.
These are so cool. I’d give one a try. They seem awesome for traveling.
This looks beautiful. Boy, has chevy come a long way!
Looks like the Impala has a lot of great features. It’s obviously very roomy although putting a person in the trunk makes me very nervous!
Wow, you sure caught my attention fitting Janelle in your trunk! It sounds like the car is quite spacious, and has lots of great features. I love the smartphone charge feature, because we both know how quickly phone batteries drain.
Impalas are such pretty cars. I love the sleek newer version.
This looks really nice! I’ve been in an impala a few times and they are super nice and roomy. A really great ride!
This looks like such a spacious car. I am looking to replace my car. I will have to take one for a test drive.
It looks amazing! I am very impressed with the trunk size, you can fit a lot in there
Looks like a great ride, my husbands vehicle has a heated steering wheel and a cooling option on the seats as well, it makes me jealous when I have to drive the soccer mom van around lol I love that your friend got right in the trunk!
This is a lovely car. I love heated steering wheel. It is very convenient on those Canadian freezing days
Lol. I hope I will never need the trunk of my car for a human body. Lol. But I do love the impalas. My BF rents them every time he is in town. They are beautiful cars and very efficient with gas
Sounds like a great ride. Wish it were bigger, although ot to store bodies, I need real space for all of my kids.
Wow, that trunk looks super spacious. That is a plus in my book since I have to transport a wheelchair.
I actually had the pleasure of driving the new Impala when my car was in the shop and I took out a rental. It is very comfortable and it drives like a dream.
