Families are spoiled for choice in the used car market for sedans, and the cars include the 2016 Chevrolet Impala.

The 2016 Chevrolet Impala has all the best features that one would want in a family vehicle. It comes with excellent handling and has one of the best infotainment systems.

Chevrolet did their homework when they were making this vehicle because it has all the basics down, with its roomy interior, smooth ride, and large trunk.

The Impala's technology is also something that one can call advanced. With those fantastic feats, the Impala is on a par with two of the best GM sedans, the Cadillac XTS and the Buick LaCrosse. Though LaCrosse fans said the Chevrolet has a slight resemblance to the LaCrosse, Chevrolet has made sure that there's a big difference between the two cars.

The Impala's crisply themed sheet metal has a bit of Mercedes CLS in its rear quarters. A lot of people admire most automobiles from the front, but the Impala's grace and refinement are appreciated from the back. This is one of those cars that looks even better in person than it does in pictures.

Let's find out why the Impala is such a good family vehicle and why people love it.

The Impala can easily seat four people and has plenty of legroom all around. The Impala isn't much bigger than the Volkswagen Passat or the Toyota Avalon, but it's in the next-largest size category. On the other hand, the Impala seems more spacious and less cramped than its competitors.

The Impala's entire length is 201.3 inches, but it shrinks to 111.7 inches between the wheels, and it's also 73 inches wide. The new Impala boasts around 3.5 inches more front-seat leg space and 2.2 inches more backseat legroom than the previous model.

The beautifully designed seats in the Impala V-6 aren't too deep a knee-bend away. Headroom and legroom are more than enough for 99th-percentile The Impala is one of the few modern vehicles that allow you to adjust the driver seat to be too low or too high.

The back seat leg space falls only an inch or two shy of limousine level. The trunk has 18.8 cubic feet of space and is a touch small, but the trunk floor is level and extends down behind the back window. The doors all feature lengthy bins with bottle holders, and there's a secret chamber beneath the MyLink LCD touchscreen; hit a button, and the screen lifts, allowing you to hide items, then lock it out in valet mode with a code you can input and alter.

Chevrolet updated the Impala's interior for a quieter ride. Just like the Chevrolet Equinox, the Impala comes with active noise cancellation, and it also features stronger glass and better sound insulation. The overall perception of noise control is positive.

The Impala has basic safety controls like blind-spot monitors, lane-departure warning system, cruise control, rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and a forward-crash warning system.

The vehicle also comes with GM's OnStar subscription service that features an automatic crash notice/communication, an emergency help button, and a remote door unlock. It's also the first Chevrolet vehicle to have adaptive cruise control and radar-based automatic braking.

Thanks to its safety features, the IIHS awarded the Impala its best rating of "Good." They also awarded the frontal collision warning and automatic braking systems features a top rating of "Superior."

For Infotainment, the car comes with an AM/FM/XM/CD player, Bose audio with 11 speakers, MyLink, power tilt/telescoping steering, navigation, and ventilated seats. The MyLink system adds Apple CarPlay functionality; this means the system can mirror some iPhone functions on the car's touchscreen display and wireless charging for cell phones.

The 3.6-liter V6 produces 305 hp and allows the vehicle to go from 0 to 60mph in 6.2 seconds. The Impala comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift mode activated by a click switch on the shift lever. The V6 allows the Impala to be comfortably ahead of the Hyundai Azera and the Kia Cadenza in terms of performance.

The V6's rather quick sprint to 60 mph isn't the only plus; while cruising, the engine answers with tremendous authority. The Impala, as predicted, takes road imperfections in stride, soaking up the bumps and ruts as a big sedan should.

The Impala V6 is a dual-fuel vehicle that can operate on compressed natural gas (CNG) or gasoline. The trunk-mounted CNG tank has a 7.8 gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) capacity, which is enough to power the Impala for 150 miles. The bi-fuel Impala operates on CNG by default, switching to gasoline when the CNG tank runs out, but a dash-mounted button enables you to switch between fuel sources on the fly.

The Impala exhibits moderate handling limitations that don't quite match the car's elegant look when pushed through corners. Even in the lack of sporty performance, the Impala delivers a safe feeling on twisting roads.
