The 2002 Chevrolet Impala stands out as a spacious and comfortable sedan with remarkable reliability. Two trims were available: the Base and the sporty LS, with the LS featuring a more powerful 3.8L V6 engine that delivered 200 horsepower, over the standard 3.4L V6 engine which supplied 180 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The 2002 model included upgrades to the sound system as well as the addition of standard 16-inch aluminium wheels. Safety highlights included front airbags and antilock brakes while an optional Integrated Chassis Control System added stability in varied road conditions. The tech quotient was upheld with features like OnStar telematics, and keyless entry.
