2014 Chevy Impala Earns Five Star NHTSA Safety Rating

BAY CITY, Mich. - The 2014 Impala has earned a five-star NHTSA safety rating on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's New Car Assessment test. Five-stars is the highest Overall Vehicle Score that can be achieved, and the 2014 Impala has done it! With new features that work to keep passengers safer than ever before, the Impala is more than deserving of the five-star rating.

With safety in mind, the 2014 Chevy Impala has multiple features that keep passengers safe. On the technology side, the Impala comes with crash imminent braking, forward collision alert, lane departure warnings, and a side blind zone alert. All of these features work to keep you alert and aware of your surroundings, with alerts and flashing lights. A rear vision camera, hill hold/start assist and ultrasonic rear park assist also come on the standard Impala. As for airbags, the Impala comes with 10! Designed to protect you from all angles, the Impala has you covered.

To focus on one safety feature in particular, the lane departure warning is great to have because it alerts you when you start to swerve out of your lane. If you are using your blinker, the alert will not sound off - this encourages safe driving behavior as well as keeps you aware of your surroundings. It's believed that this feature will help people who become sleepy at the wheel, or are just distracted.
